WTKA Roundtable 10-6-2016
34 minutes
[Melanie Maxwell, The Ann Arbor News]
They were at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the newly renovated, now-air conditioned IM building. The sound isn’t great.
Things discussed:
Part 1: Wisconsin
- That was the game when missing field goals really hurts—get Wisconsin behind and M’s defensive line can tee off.
- Hornibrook turtling was emblematic of the game, and Michigan’s much improved lane integrity. Taco helps.
- 350 yards against a very good defense is fine. Isaac and Smith had good games.
- Was Michigan’s offense elite by the end of last year, or was Florida just mailing it in?
Part 2: David Siegle, IM director and NCAA official
- David Siegle, headmaster of intramural sports, talks about the IM building renovations.
- What’s a catch? What is targeting? Mostly the coaches are making the rules, and they want to avoid head injuries. Officials with the cameras are weirdly not applying this rule.
- The Newsome knee-cut: maybe 5 years from now there will be either no cut blocks or just OL right after the snap.
Part 3: Mr. and Mrs. Sam Webb
- Rutgers had 116 yards against Ohio State and lost 59-0. With the home field advantage flipped that should be 130 yards and 52-0.
- Mrs. Webb works at the IM building. Sam used to get kicked and elbowed for snoring, then he got drugged.
- Another 9 minutes of Sam talking that I want it to be known I didn’t listen to, Mrs. Webb.

I love the roundtable, but you guys barely said anything on Thursday. Not your fault, of course. Too many commercials and guests. Plus it did not start until 9:15 or so. Again, I'm not blaming Brian, Ed, or Craig.
October 7th, 2016 at 8:47 AM ^
I think by process of elimination we can figure out who you are blaming...*wink wink* *nudge nudge*.
But I had the same feeling. This is something I look forward to listening to and from work in the Chicago area (Chicago sports radio sucks) and this weeks was a little dissapointing, especially being a huge Riverly Week.

True, but I was looking for more analysis about the Wisconsin game.
October 7th, 2016 at 8:55 AM ^
I can't even imagine the IM Building with a functional heating/cooling system. That was part of the experience. [Rant about young generation being too soft goes here.]
Is the CCRB still a sweatbox?

Part 3 was unlistenable.
October 7th, 2016 at 10:23 AM ^
Was really funny.
October 7th, 2016 at 9:12 AM ^
That was the strangest radio segment I've ever heard
October 7th, 2016 at 9:32 AM ^
Clearly you haven't been listening to the MGoPodcast for very long, there used to be references to Ace's nipples.

Looking through the pictures of the IM Building renovation, real good effort all around, like that the gym still has that historic feel...
But damn, they gutted the racquetball courts! Those submarine staircases, the walls that were just about perfect... But, no, kids need lounges and ping-pong tables.

I loved the turn this roundtable took. Thanks for including Part 3.

As has been said, this was a strange roundtable. Maybe 5 mins of actual Michigan football talk? I know it's free and it's not really any one person's "fault." Just thought it was odd. At least it's only Rutgers this week.
