OT:Michigan Wolverines/ College Football in general Podcasts

Submitted by newfoundhbomb on

I was wondering if anyone listens to a good Michigan or College Football in general podcast on itunes?  It seems like some of the ones on itunes have only lasted for a few months to maybe a year.  All information is appreciated.  thanks

Shutdown Fullcast and SV are great. Podcast Aint Played Nobody is another really good one. It may not be the best for a casual fan because they really go down the analytical/theoretical rabbithole, but you are posting on a CFB message board so you probably aren't just a casual fan.

Even better, like the rest of us, they are posting on a CFB message board that is prone to going down analytical / theoretical rabbitholes arguably more often than similar sites, so they may feel right at home with that one. I do agree though, that "Podcast Ain't Played Nobody" is a good one though, and for that reason.

Podcast Ain't Played Nobody is my favorite outside of the MGoPodcast. It's a very stats heavy, detailed college football podcast run by Bill Connelly of S&P+ fame and Steven Godfrey. Also enjoy The Audible, Shutdown Fullcast, Solid Verbal, and Athlon Sports Cover 2.

The loud/long visual commercials that I have to listen to between each 8 min segment drive me nuts. I know they have to make some bucks but they have made me stop listening as often.  Plus, they are listed backwards and when you auto play, you sometimes listen to part 2 before part 1.

Agree with you. Their segments are usually right to ten minutes with both a national ad like Flo, who I now hate, and then Sam talking about lawn mowers for two minutes. I just skip them as fast as I can but I agree it is annoying.

Honestly, the mgopodcast is my favorite one out there because the insight is intelligent and indepth, but the guys are still funny and entertaining.  Often it seems we have to sacrifice one for the other.

I've been listening to the Solid Verbal almost from the beginning.  It's not as indepth as some of the other choices out there - you're listening to guys that are more fan than analyst, but they're fun guys and they get a lot of experts on as guests.  They'll do some off topic stuff without allowing it to take over the entire show (I like Shutdown Fullcast ok, but I don't often listen because it seems like every time I do they just ramble on about unrelated subjects for 20 minutes at a time.  Maybe I just pick the wrong episodes.)

The Michigan Man podcast is really good - when they have a good guest, at least.  So some episodes are better than others.  The most interesting thing about this podcast is during the season when they'll have guests from opposing teams' podcasts/radio/newspapers/etc to talk about those teams.  It's always neat to get insight from people that are closely following the opposition.

 

Those are really the only three sports podcasts that I have consistently listened to on an episode-to-episode basis, though I've been known to occasionally download other shows here and there depending on the time of year or if they're discussing something I'm interested in and/or have a good guest on.

I think I might have to give Podcast Ain't Played Nobody a listen after these recommendations.

Obviously a lot of Iowa talk, but the co-host is a big UM fan(he likes ISU and UM). Good B1G and whole cfb talk w a decent amount of UM thrown in.
