About an hour.
Topics!
MGODITCHPARTY. A real good time.
ACE ON THE SIDELINES. Job perk, that.

INVERTED VEEEEER. Yes sir.
WHA HAPPEN, SECONDARY? Where did you go?
BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. Wisconsin is one loss away from Dead To Us status.
BOWL SCENARIOS. Boo Georgia.
BCS COMPLAINING. This year the BCS proposes to have a national title game between LSU and Alabama. Assuming LSU does not lose the SEC title game, nothing Alabama can do will make them have a better season than LSU. The BCS is dumb.

FYI, the Direct Download link is still pointing to last week's podcast, 3.11.
November 28th, 2011 at 4:23 PM ^
i think the direct download link is linked to the nebraska podcast still. either that or i just did something stupid, which is a distinct possibility.

I rewatched the Steve Watson late hit call, and the hit and the whistle were almost simultaneous. However, I think that it was a technically correct call because, if I understand correctly, NCAA rules say that the ball is dead the moment someone is in possession of the ball in the opponent's endzone, not when the ref blows the whistle. So even though the ref hadn't blown the whistle when Watson started his hit, Denard was 5 yards over the goal line and the ball was dead. Ergo, late hit.

That's pretty ridiculous. How in the world is a player blocking the play supposed to know if the ball breaks the goal line?
November 29th, 2011 at 11:18 AM ^
In Watson's case, Denard should have been visible to Watson, braking in the back of the end zone. In a more general case, players can't know and that's why there aren't flags on short yardage touchdown. The rule is one thing but the on-field interpretation is something else.

What really got me was the late hit by Kovacs. By the letter of the law, yes he hit him one step out of bounds. However, by the spirit of the law, had Kovacs pulled up and Morgan missed the push, the OSU player would be dancing in the end zone. It was only a 4 yard penalty after a big play, so not that big of a deal, but it did annoy me a bit.

Just finished listening to it and was sad when it was finished. Thanks for another great season of content Brian! Maybe we'll actually see an OSU UFR this year?

oh god! i just got to the part about OSU against Ohio in the Little Caesar's bowl.
the thought of forcing buckeye fans to come back and spend money in michigan just gives me a big grin. go ohio! beat ohio!

that includes Tom Waits is a good podcast.

is this safe for work? language-wise?
haven't listened to one before and wanted to leave it on in the background.

Not terrible and they usually do a good job w/ the language issue. Don't think I'd leave this one on though. It is Ohio review week. Some joyous comments that may be deemed in appropriate.

recommend filling your mouth with cinnamon! Great podcast, looking forward to the future of Michigan Football! Go Blue!

Thought having that Build me up buttercup song as a break would've been a nice touch/slam on Special K. Sad.

Great work Brian and Ace. Thanks for providing the "soundtrack" to my many long drives for work. Just a quick thought. Whether it was intentional or not I loved listening to "Sons and Daughters" close out the podcast while thinking back to "Better Son or Daughter" from the 2009 hype video. The contrast between "You'll be a better son or daughter..." from 2009 to "Here we are now, sons and daughters" after the 2011 season and especially the win over Ohio was beautiful.

It's not "radio"; it's "Brady-O".

I thought that the opening line by Brian of "So that happened." was supposed to be the new universal intro. Guess not. RIP "So that happened.".
