The Ace Pod 1.11: Feels Like We Only Go Backwards Comment Count

Seth October 16th, 2019 at 9:27 AM

The podcast is, as always, sponsored by the law offices of E. Jason Blankenship. You’re encouraged to check out his new site here.

This week’s podcast went on the long side again, as y’all gave me plenty of material. Topics discussed:

  • Dread Level: PSU
  • Several questions about the running game and why it is the way it is
  • Should Ed Warinner have been promoted to OC?
  • What’s with the kickers?
  • Favorite recruit that didn’t pan out
  • Coming out the other side of BPONE and into the HPONE
  • Let your child root for Michigan
  • Excitement level for hoops
  • The brutal schedule: advantage or disadvantage?
  • Longer honeymoon period: Juwan vs. Jim
  • Top ten songs of the decade
  • The 1995 Detroit Tigers
  • Pizza toppings

The top ten songs of the decade question led to a 50-song playlist, which Apple Music users can find here. Apologies, Spotify users, someone else paid for an iTunes family plan. Hopefully someone can copy it over.

If you want to get in a question for the next podcast, feel free to send them any time they come to mind, either by tagging them with #acepod on Twitter or emailing [email protected].

MUSIC:
  • “Feels Like We Only Go Backwards”—Tame Impala
  • “Weekend” — Smith Westerns

So you get that rather heartbreaking background, and then you hear her sing, and you understand why she sings the way she does.

Good pod Ace, but sporting events do hangover kids heads after they end.  I was in middle school when Webber called timeout and I wasn't right for weeks.

Haven't listened to the podcast yet but saw one of the bullet points "Should Ed Warriner have been promoted to OC?" Dear God, no! Has that where ttun has come to. After watching what he did to the most talented offense since 1995 in 2015, he should never EVER be an OC. Ruined a possible repeat of 2014.

I really appreciate the mailbag/Q&A section. Great music selections. Audio feedback: Ace's voice volume drops to almost nothing after each music fade.

I haven't made it all the way through the top 10, let alone tackled the top 50 playlist, but what I've heard so far -- much to my surprise -- has been quite good.  Musical BPONE partially lifted!
