Michigan Wolverines Podcasts

It may be a little crass, but it's spot on. A hot dog vendor in Evanston had some summaries of the top programs in the Big Ten, and while we felt some of them might have been a bit off (like his assessment of Michigan football fans as 'ruffians') his description of Ohio State fans was nothing short of hilarious. We dig into that along with some per…

Jim Harbaugh once said that he wanted to put the infamous M flag that players planted at midfield after the road victory at Ohio State into the Schembechler Hall museum. Well, it's now there in all of its splendor. Why this signals yet more evidence of the needed mentality shift in the rivalry. Then, we break down our top 10 favorite quotes from Tu…

The answers to all your questions and more on the…

Michigan football continued its recruiting momentum in the Buckeye state by nabbing three-star offensive tackle Ben Roebuck, a self-avowed former Ohio State fan. Though Roebuck didn't have an OSU offer, the evidence is clear: the Wolverines are able to do what they couldn't just a few short years ago. Has the tide fully turned toward the maize and …

In a shot heard around the Midwest, Michigan football went into Ohio and stole away four-star running back Jordan Marshall from Cincinnati (Ohio) Moeller, a recruit that Ohio State desperately wanted.

Perhaps the position group with the most intrigue for Michigan football this offseason is cornerback, due to both DJ Turner and Gemon Green moving on, but Will Johnson is coming back for his second year, and all the buzz has been about Amorion Walker moving over from wide receiver.

Michigan football has something of a quality problem at offensive line: there are just too many capable players across the board. We attempt to formulate a starting offensive line, a second line, and even a third line, while also going more in-depth about the personnel in the group. Then, our final outlook of the position (hint: it's good). Support…
