  • Dear Tony, Pound Sand | Professor and the Pundit – S3 Ep1

    November 7, 2023 /

    Good golly, what a mess. The boys are back in the studio for the Season 3 premiere discussing the sign-stealing business afoot. Santa Ono tells the B1G to chill out, we relieve tailgate and IM football glory, and we spin around the rest of the college pigskin world.

    Why Michigan Left the Big Ten Conference in 1908 | The Drama and Aftermath

    October 25, 2023 /

    Spearheaded by the request of Michigan’s president James B. Angell, officials from the schools representing the Western Conference (U-M, Chicago, Minnesota, Iowa, Northwestern, Purdue, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana) met in Chicago in January 1906 to discuss major reforms.  Their target? Michigan football and its coach Fielding H. Yost. Here's how it played out.

  • Bob Bergeron’s Kick – 40 Years Later!

    October 22, 2023 /

    Deadlocked 13-13 with Iowa on the afternoon of October 22, 1983 and just twelve ticks remaining, Michigan sent a walk-on kicker on the field to win the game. At that moment the Homecoming crowd of nearly 105,000 certainly squirmed, knowing the recent woes of the Wolverine kicking game over the past several years—particularly in clutch situations. Thankfully kicker Bob Bergeron was not thinking about history or even the significance of that moment. His mindset was focused on doing his job—something he’d done 1000s of times before. The rest is history.

  • How Fritz Spotted The Sleeper (1946)

    October 21, 2023 /

    Amazing but true, Michigan head coach Fritz Crisler actually had 2 men seated above the stadium press box for an important job. One used binoculars to try to identify a "sleeper" - an opponent's 11th offensive player hiding near the sideline. The other guy? A bugle player. His job was to blast away on the horn if the spotter found a sleeper.
