Vanquished! Thoroughly. (Michigan 42, Ohio State 27) | Sights & Sounds
What happened Saturday was the fulfillment of the promise of Harbaugh – the antidote for the seemingly unbeatable Buckeyes. For all the times people tried to channel Bo and the 1969 (24-12) game during the last dozen years, it actually happened in 2021 – when no one really talked about it or prophesized it.

Bringing it WWE Style (WTKA audio)
Keep Ira and Sam in your thoughts. They’ve graciously kept the WTKA phone lines open since Monday morning. I’m pretty sure if they continue this for the entire week they qualify for sainthood. In the aftermath of Saturday’s shutout, Ira even took the onslaught from callers on the postgame show. Just after midnight Paul from Toledo dialed in: [display_podcast] Forget Engineering! (Sorry Cook.) Update: This has pretty much gone viral. Thanks to Lost Letterman for taking a run at the transcription: “Yeah, this is Paul. [Inaudible] I’m headed back home. I just gotta tell you right now: That is absolutely a joke. I heard one of your sponsors: Come Get Some Burritos. Brady Hoke can grab some burritos and get the heck out of town. You got to be kidding me. I mean here’s the deal: Devin Gardner’s got a defensive lineman number (#98), get him on the defensive line! Let’s get a quarterback in there that knows how to throw and throw to our team! Let’s get John Beilein coaching both teams, Crisler Arena and the Big House are right next to each other. Let’s get John Beilein, Jon Horford – let’s get all those guys – Mitch McGary; I don’t care how many trees he smokes, he can score touchdowns, then get him on the field! The Maize…

Sam Webb ruins Valenti, Foster (audio)
On August 11, 97.1FM afternoon hosts Mike Valenti and Terry Foster reacted to a caller who called them “irresponsible” for their reporting of the JT Turner departure, and evoked the name of Sam Webb of WTKA and GoBlueWolverine. A few things happened. First, Valenti ripped Webb’s credibility on matters of Michigan, calling him “shill” for the program, and criticized Sam for framing 2-star M recruits as “the next Walter Payton.” Valenti then ran down a list of players who he said bailed on Rich Rod and the program (I don’t think he mentioned where he got the list). Fast forward to the following day when a caller into WTKA tells Sam about the comments about him on 97.1. Sam’s reaction is one for the books, taking a swipe at Valenti but saving the best for his Detroit News colleague Foster, and longtime update man Dery. Audio: Greg Dooley · Sam Webb – Valenti Foster Blasts of note from Webb: On Valenti: called him “the Sparty Gilbert Gottfried” and a “hack” and “a blowhard”. “Tell him to quit sitting around, with Terry Foster bouncing in his lap, and go do some real work.” “He can’t give you anything credible about Michigan..” On Foster: “And Terry Foster? You’ve got to be joking. The dude is a walking minstrel show. Stepin Fetchit, that’s…
