    BREAKDOWN: Michigan's 2026 Schedule | Michigan Podcast #325

    Steve Deace dives into Michigan's finalized 2026 football schedule: a tough but strategically paced slate featuring Ohio State, Oregon, Indiana, and Oklahoma, with six near-locks and a rhythm that gives the Wolverines their best shot at surviving the gauntlet.

    THE GAME: A Soul-Cleansing Whooping | Michigan Podcast #321

    Steve Deace gives no excuses after Michigan's soul-crushing 27-9 loss to a far superior Ohio State team: the Wolverines were outclassed in every phase, Bryce Underwood clearly regressed despite a full year of reps, and Sherrone Moore now faces a prove-it-or-bust 2025 with the playoff as the bare minimum or he's gone. Mark Rogers joins to break down the talent gap, the failed freshman QB experiment, and why better coaching would have made a dramatic difference this season.
