This Week in Michigan Football History continues Season 13 this Saturday in the glorious new Bud Light Victors Lounge, as part of the WTKA 1050AM Countdown To Kickoff. Again we'll double dip, first to 1944 to note the first Michigan night game, then we take a trip to 1994 where a gent named Remy Martin Hamilton left the game in Notre Dame, IN never having to buy a drink again.

In preparation for my history class this week, I threw together this chart. It's a look over time at the potential games Michigan (and technically, the rest of the Big Ten) could play in a given season over time.

Something felt different as we got our first glimpse of Team 143 in action. A typical season opener seeps with feelings of hope and what might be. This time we know.

It was far from perfect, but we witnessed the array of weapons/options on offense and much evidence that we just might reload on defense. To the Sights and Sounds.

This Week in Michigan football returns for season XIII this Saturday in the glorious new Bud Light Victors Lounge, as part of the WTKA 1050AM Countdown To Kickoff. This time, a double dip, first to 2016 against Hawaii, then all the way back to 1898 when your blue-stocking clad warriors dropped Chicago and Amos Alonzo Stagg.

In November 2012, I sat down with Michigan and Detroit Lions head coach Gary Moeller in studio at WTKA 1050AM Ann Arbor with Ira Weintraub who handled the production. We cover a lot of ground including his greatest teams, memories of Bo Schembechler, the start of his career, Woody Hayes, 1991’s ‘The Catch’ with Desmond Howard, his time with the Detroit Lions, the 1990 MSU game, and much more.\
