I can't hear at the moment, but do you mean WTKA with the Michigan Insider, and not 97.1 with Stoney & Bill.  I'm getting 97.1 right now on iTunes and they are talking baseball.

edit: n/m he's on now.  Bought killed myself having to listen to that much baseball.

Wow, one of the hosts ends the interview, and then says "Now Brady Hoke, he's just a FOOTBAW coach, I just love talking to him, Blah blah blah" and then right afterwards "Not like Rich Rodriguez, he was a douchebag".  How classless.

Seriously...all the questions were "ARE YOU MICHIGAN MAN????"  WHAT DOZ THAT MEEN TO YOU??? DO YOU LIKE MICHIGAN???

Who cares.  I want to hear about some freaking football, like "how's craig roh?", "who's going to return kicks", stuff like that.

The Michigan Man stuff is sooooo old and useless, I agree with you.  I never listen to sports radio, but since game day is coming I'm just fired up so I listened to it...geeze what fluff, those people are the douchebags.  Hoke probably holds his nose while talking to them.

I knew there'd be nothing of value from the interview, but I listened anyway...geeze I'm sick.

What's so astonishingly stupid about people (and especially media) clinging on to the "Michigan Man" term is that when Bo coined it, he wasn't speaking in generalities at all. He was talking about a VERY specific situation (Bill Frieder coaching the team while he had a commitment to Arizona State).

There really was not a hint of romanticism to it, yet all these tools not only took it and ran with it, they defined it as something only they could invent (that the term indicated ties to the school and outsiders were not welcome).

A certain segment of our base needs to get nuked and that  segment is the kind that asks "Are you a Michigan Man?"
