The Sponsors

he show is presented by UGP & The Bo Store, and if it wasn’t for Rishi and Ryan nobody would get our jokes. Our other sponsors are also key to all of this: HomeSure Lending, Peak Wealth Management, Ann Arbor Elder Law, the Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown, the University of Michigan Alumni Association, Michigan Law Grad,Human Element, and Lantana Hummus

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

1. The Offense

starts at 1:00

James Franklin gives Jim Harbaugh the What’s Your Deal look. Ruling: was it a sad touchdown? Game over with the second touchdown when Patterson hits the corner route he didn’t against Wisconsin. RPS victories. Bombs. Runyan good? OL problems were –1s not –2s. Flare pass to Evans need more of that. Welcome back Black!

2. The Defense

starts at 36:29

Don Brown take a bow! Why give the ball to your five-star running back when you’ve got the Quan Gun? Ricky Rahne is Joe Moorhead; he’s got Moorhead’s Ferrari and doesn’t know what to do with it. Josh Uche is getting Bosa-level sack rates. The DTs had a good game against the guys who worked Hurst and the same guys. Gary had an effect even if it wasn’t in the box score. M got away with sticking DEs in the B gap!

3. Special Teams/Feelingsball

starts at 53:20

WHAT ARE YOU DOING FRAMES? Man where do we begin with this guy? Giving Michigan an extra drive at the end of the half? Where you stand on giving Hamler a return shot (survey says: don’t try that when Ben Mason is on the field). Loved the halftime show, really loved the contrast between Grapentine and the Penn State guy.

4. Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac

Starts at 1:25:29

Frames probably called timeout. Post-apocalyptic Maryland is just as bad as Maryland. Illinois with the shocker of the week, just when you thought it was safe to talk Minnesota: 10.8 yards per play! Northwestern-ND was the Ian Book Chunk Show. Purdue feasted on Iowa’s secondary: Pull the trigger Louisville! Ohio State faced a tough Taylor Martinez and a stiff Nebraska D that forced four 3-and-outs and a 4-and-out. OSU fixed their run game: just play Nebraska.

Are you guys still going to do a podcast on whether to turn the best lot in Ann Arbor for building something into a useless park, or did you decide to ignore the most pressing issue of the moment to yammer about your sporps team?

In description in section 4, the MGoCrew has it purposefully (accidentally?) labeled that Taylor Martinez is Nebraska's QB. Haven't listened yet, so maybe it's a tongue-in-cheek/on purpose name mix up, but that should be Adrian Martinez right?

Where ever he is, I'm sure Taylor Martinez understands - Nebraska had some decent QBs back in the Bob Devaney era, David Humm, Jerry Tagge and Vince Ferragamo and often less attentive fans would attribute good throws to wrong guy.

Taylor had an excellent ball fake on the spread option - and was fast enough and elusive enough to be credible running threat. He was not a good passer with a side arm 2/3rds delivery.

I've been to a lot of Big Ten venues and none of their PA guys come remotely close to the level of professionalism and sheer quality of voice of one Mr. Carl Grapentine. He is a master of his craft.

And yes, PSU's PA guy is particularly annoying. Four trips to Happy Valley has cemented that in my brain.

Regarding the triple penalties on the blocked kick, the block below the waist on us was on Nordin, I'm 99% sure. I was in Section 9 in the south end zone and just as they ran it in, Nordin dove at the side/back of someone's legs away from the ball carrier. Flag came out almost immediately after.

 

So flag on our sideline way obviously the sideline foul, the one near the block area was the call on them, the one near the end zone was on Nordin.

I think the offsetting penalty thing was the first exception here:

If live-ball fouls by both teams are reported to the referee, the fouls offset and the down is repeated. (A.R. 10-1-4:I and VII) Any player who commits a foul that mandates disqualification must leave the game. Exceptions:

 

  1. When there is a change of team possession during a down, and the team last gaining possession had not fouled before last gaining possession, it may refuse offsetting fouls and thereby retain possession after completion of the penalty for its foul. (A.R. 10-1-4:II-VII)

Good find. I bet someone got major hosed by this to get it changed. Because otherwise every time you could draw a penalty (which happens often considering there are defensive players trying to block a play that could go either side of them and lots of opportunities for a block in the back) on an interception you could then grab the nearest guy's facemask and trigger and offsetting penalty to get the ball back.

Just here to say that Carl Grapentine is probably the best PA announcer in the country, and probably has been for a long time.  That is all.

Why wouldn't PSU try to avoid being shut out?  What team in America wouldn't? Agree that it's a "sad" touchdown drive, but we would've done the same thing.
