This was recorded before a live retail audience at Moe Sport Shops, 711 North University. Come by every Friday before a game to partake. For Homecoming we’re going to do it at the new Bo Store!

Special guests this week: Steve Lorenz of 247 sports, author John U. Bacon, who will have the afterword to Endzone very soon, Moe’s co-owner Rishi Narayan, and Liz Marek from Think Pink Go Blue with a word about Ann Arbor businesses’ work for breast cancer awareness month.

--------------------

A big thanks to our sponsors. The show is presented by UGP & Moe's and frankly would not be happening without them; Rishi and company have been on board here from almost the beginning. Shopping with them helps us and supports good dudes. Check out their new Bo Store on Main.

Our other sponsors are also key in the expanding empire: thanks to Homesure Lending, Ann Arbor Elder Law, Liz Crowe, the Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown, the University of Michigan Alumni Association, Michigan Law Grad, Defensive Drivers Group, and Tailgater Concierge, who’s throwing us a tailgate tomorrow at 1300 S. Main (across the street from the stadium) to benefit Marlin Jackson’s Fight for Life Foundation.

1a. Upon Further Review Recap

starts at 1:00

Penn State is pretty bad. Let’s talk to Steve!

1b. Across the Crooked Blue Line, with Steve Lorenz

starts at 10:15

Big recruiting weekend with a lot of top targets and most of the commits in town. May not result in instant commits but should move the needle and set them up for a good finish in February. Michigan hopes to flip two Don Brown guys, a BC commit with similar measurables to Luigi Vilain and a Khaleke Hudson-ish SAM who was committed to Penn State.

3. After Endzone, with John U. Bacon

starts at 34:56

He’s not Dave, for one. Neither is Ace. Also our very visual podcast discusses what happens to Brian’s hair when he puts a headset on. ALSO Bacon discusses how Les Miles was viewed inside Schembechler Hall under various administrations, and reveals Harbaugh’s plans to maybe explore an NFL job after he’s dead.

4. Gimmicky Top Five: Favorite Cheeses

starts at 1:03:11

Brian insisted. With special guest Rishi Narayan, co-owner of UGP and Moe’s.

5. Wisconsin Preview and Think Pink

starts at 1:14:54

The Legend of Three Sack Jack is told. Michigan faces the linebacker version of its own defensive line—minus their Glasgow—and a very good secondary so it might take some shenanigans to move the ball against them. But their offense isn’t nearly as scary.

Also Liz Marek joined us to talk about what Ann Arbor businesses are doing for Breast Cancer Awareness.

I bought a block of nice feta once. I prefer Bulgarian, though some of the better Greek brands are starting to come to America. My roommate pulled it out and this conversation occurred:

Roommate: What is this?

Me: Feta.

R: What?

M: It's feta.

R: But...I thought feta was crumbled.

M. It's a block of feta.

R: They make feta in BLOCKS?!

M. ...do you think it comes out of the sheep in crumbles?

Sorry if this isn't the right place for these questions but would someone mind commenting, when and where appropriate, about what it means to be an elite corner in terms of technique while the balls about to arrive? Will an elite corner always attempt to turn back to find the ball while running with one hand extended toward the receiver? or do they teach to look in the receivers eyes only and not turn at all?

The reason I ask is I feel we have exceptional corners and defensive backs generally that seem quite capable of attaining and keeping engagement with the receiver but I see very little attempt to turn and find the ball. Even late in the play development (after 5 seconds let's say) or when the receiver is running out of real estate in the end zone.

It seems to me that the speed, if any, that one loses by turning to find the ball while running with a hand up is more than offset by the information gained. It seems your chance for interceptions, PBU's, no pass interference calls all improve to much greater benefit than any slight engagement you might give up on the perfect throw.

I think I would generally prefer turning to look for the ball even earlier than actually engaging the receiver (while your on you way to catch up let's say). There is greater risk of "losing" the receiver here but I still think the advantages outweigh the risks.

Any ideas? Do they not teach find the ball? Is this just the final stage of development that is very difficult to achieve? Our DB's are often glued to their receivers and seem quite capable of more picks.

If someone could touch on the above in one of your pieces it would be appreciated. Old Alum who's been reading this blog forever it seems. Signed up last year but have never commented before. Forgive me if needed.

Thanks

Wow, some people are really, really different than I am.  My problem would be narrowing the list down to five.  If you limited it to cheese from Wisconsin, that would slow me down, though there are still a couple of them that reguarly live in my fridge...
