Once again, Balas asks the best questions and brings some historical and relevant perspective, Skene brings the credibility from someone that played the game with insights on line play...arguably the most important aspect for winning is the line of scrimmage. Well done gentlemen!
I have to agree...I was amazed how well the OL played with Zinter out of the starting line-up. Barnhardt played well at RG and Trente balled out at RT. Nugent showed great toughness too overcoming injury. Awesome OL play. Go Blue!
You two are my favorite Michigan pod show. Thanks for another great year fellas!
I tend to agree. These 2 are great. Go Blue!
What a year. So happy for all players and fans.
Thanks for the insights this year gentlemen
Yay! I’ve been checking daily for this episode! Great insight from you two, as usual. You guys never disappoint.
〽️ Go Blue 〽️
Coach Harbaugh spoke out for Life!! Baby Lives Matter!!
Guys, recruiting has to pick up. It is insane we are not getting just as much talent as that other school. Michigan’s has to do better with NIL. I am not saying be Miami or Texas but they have to do something. As usual we do not capitalize when we do some great. In order to keep up with the Big Ten expanding and continuing to compete at the level we have been at the past 3 years, we have more success and top tier recruits.
FINALLY! Been waiting to hear Skene's take on the game
Hope, Everyone the best in Shembechler Hall
Great podcast and insights gentlemen. Thank You!
I truly believe that if Orji is the starter next year, we will be OK!!! If he is the starter, then that means he has gotten better in the passing game! And that will be Dangerous! Go Blue!!!
How many passes have you seen him throw?
@RICOJEEZUS
Did you not understand the premise of his comment? It does contain an "If" in it.
Orgi will not be the starter.
@RICOJEEZUS are you slow?
Great show
Excellent 45mins
Washington o line vs UM D LINE was very similar to UM O line vs Ga d line a couple of years ago. Dominant & overwhelming.
I feel like Donovan Edwards, returning next year is going to be great for himself and the team. I wish Jim Harbaugh would make up his mind. He should either stay or go in a timely manner.
Hope Coach Harbaugh stays at Michigan! Go Blue!
He will be gone.
@@richardeinheuser5529. Eye roll
Taking his Wife to the Next Chargers Interview, they asked that she come….
He’s gone and OSU is pumping up the volume.
Why the hell does "coachkiller" Warde Manuel still have a job? He's already run off several great coaches from Michigan's champion level sports programs. We can't give that guy the power to run off Harbaugh! He repels top talent! Warde Manuel MUST GO NOW!!!!
Chris Balas.....
Don't know if you read the comments....
But if your issue is a bad head cold/flu symptoms...like that...
I recommend loading up on D3, zinc, and magnesium....
Helps me a lot....
Glad you're doing better today.
Agreed. Zinc and D3 and not even a cold in 10 yrs.
Even noted Alabama Super Fan and comedian FunnyMaine Johnson gave Michigan some very respectful props for being the better team. In the end, those who would comment kept it classy. I haven’t seen what some of the talking heads and supporters of southern football have said, but unlike prior to the CFP games, none of those videos showed up in the algorithm.
GO BLUE!
We have all the pieces to put out another top 5 defense hands down. Offensive line, we have some great recruits, but as Skene said they will need time to get experience together and mesh. RBs we will be perfectly fine. The Don and then Mullins is a great power back. He can be every bit of what Haskins was. Semaj and Morris can be fantastic, I do think we need a bigger body to compliment them that isn't a TE. TEs will be very good for us again. If orji can throw as well as someone like McNamara did and just take care of the ball, his legs provide a very dynamic component to the offense that could make him very good. We aren't dependant on having a guy who can dice you up every game. We play true team football. I see a 10-2 regular season, where with growth and development throughout we can be a very good team as long as we're playing our best ball at the end of the season. It's wishful thinking by people who hate UM saying there's going to be some massive drop off
Jfyi, the future of college football is what OSU is doing. Michigan seems to be about 2 years behind.
Yup.
Came a really long way from the day skene was at his lake and predicted a 5-7 season for Michigan before the 2021 season.. #GOBLUE
I thought a couple of years ago coach H said this wouldn’t be a every year thing and he’d be here as long as Michigan wanted him and I think they’ve done that, But it’s been an every year thing. I really appreciate him and what he’s done for mich but at this point I’m tired of doing this dance every year. Make a decision and stick with it. It just goes to show he’s not a man of his word.
Thank you for saying it skene. What's honestly different about OSU with all these transfers? Did they not have the same talent in all those same positions the past 3 years?
Go Blue!!
Catch y’all in September
If Orji is the guy, man I hope him and those young receivers just work on that passing game in the offseason like it's nobody's business. Outs, slants, crossing, you name it. Maximum overdrive. Might need that passing game against Texas and USC.

Skene obviously doesn’t know what a Duo play is- It’s a play where there is no pulling guard. Duo is short for “double teams wherever possible. “There is generally a wing or bunch formation to one side who is responsible for blocking the edge defender. From shotgun, the quarterback can read the widest defender. All blockers will block one gap away from the play and generally double team to the near linebacker/safety if they are not covered by a lineman. The running back will read the flow of the Mike linebacker to determine where he will run. The play is usually run from 2 tight end alignments or extra linemen in the game as Michigan did several times in this game.
Carson is a different guy at guard. He was outstanding after the move.
The key to next year is QB. We have been able to beat the good teams, because for the first time in over a decade, we had a QB that was as good as theirs. At the start of next year, we will be weak at QB, and hopefully we get better by the end of the year.
If C-Harbaugh decides to bounce to the NFL, I wish him nothing but the best for him! And if OLC / Sherrone Moore & eventually becomes the next coach, they shouldn't miss a beat. He is even a better recruiter than Harbaugh. Michigan should get a proper AD, an impeccable & the best in college sports in OU. 'Joe Castiglione" feels NIL. As C-Harbaugh does, the present AD doesn't because the amateur hour is over; there is no such thing as a student-athlete anymore. They want to get paid now can't really blame them. They come from a financially downed environment. So Pres. Santa Ono Michigan needs a GM type of AD, like sports franchises. Warde Manuel is setting up the school to fall out from the college sports face of the map & into the abyss. Happy New Year, gentleman & always, GOBLUE-NATTYUP🏆!
Lamar Jackson offense with Orji at qb
Dude! That would be awesome!
Sorry! If he could pass the ball he would have already been doing it by now! Reminds me of a Joe Milton who can juke a linebacker!
No NFL team will give him enough control of the personal and GM. IMHO.
Go blue
Hope Chris is okay!
I’ll say what everyone refuses to say. Barnhardt should not have been a starter before the zinter injury. Trente jones should have been the starting right tackle day one and Henderson should have been the left tackle. They had this need to put barnhardt in the lineup for some odd reason.
Don't have a complaint about Harbaugh even if it mattered. Michigan administration always blows up any staff with success. Erik Bakich, Carol Hutchins, John Beilein, and now possibly Jim Harbaugh. How will Moore handle the idiotic Michigan administration and the Crying Ryan Conference?
There is a sickness in Michigan's athletic department that has been plaguing our school for some time. Losing JH because Warde doesnt like him is insane. Hire JH and turn over the football program to him.
First time in history that one’s primary competitor that you’ve defeated 3 years in a row on the way to the top of the heap; got markedly better, grossly so, as if they leveraged their losses better than you (M) have leveraged your great wins!!! Amazing. What if UCLA was the recipient of USC’s success in a losing season?
The way Jim leaves his team in the off season is just ridiculous. GO to the NFL!!!! I get it!!!!
Goooooooo!!!!
@TomHarmonFanClub Please stop you’re trolling. Every true Michigan Fan is grateful to Coach Harbaugh for staying at Michigan despite the unwarranted criticism of him throughout his tenure. He has proven he is the very best fb coach. Blaming Jim because he wants to compete at the highest level in his field is insane. Whether he leaves or stays, he is already the number 1 GOAT in Michigan Athletics history.
One reason I think Harbaugh is gone… his visitation to the Right to Life walk. I know he’s been to similar organizations, but I believe his more recent comments, elude to him not caring at all about the triggered U of M staffer, Fan. Just thinking out loud.
Not professional at all for Mr. Balas to show off that awesome new basketball hoop in the background. Unnecessary flex by Mr. Balas to say the least.
Recruiting is shit
OSU is paying out mega-bucks
Harbaugh & multiple coaches---minter, j harbaugh, clinkscales (?) & bellamy (?) etc are all gone to NFL.
Best of luck & ty....sherrone moore to hc. Mike hart OC. DC=??
When you're constantly building a team through the portal, trying to strike gold for a season here and there, you're never going to have a "culture."
Chagrined lmao
Please go to the NFL Coach H. The post season let me see what I’m worth now dance is just progrum irresponsible. Can’t watch another moment of Michigan Recruiting failure in the offseason.
Please, we are so tired of winning!
@TomHarmonFanClub Stop the crazy criticisms of the most successful coach in Michigan football history. Soooooo, 15-0 is not good enough for you? He has every right to pursue his football career to its highest level. He is a competitor seeking to win against the best. That is what makes him great- that desire to beat the best in his field.
When Skene says......" This is the Wild West now ....", I had to reply.
Sir, finally students and athletes have true freedom beyond belief, ya' know, like the United States, where once you are 18 years old , you can actually die for our blessed country. Meaning, please do not even start to rebuke, cast doubt or mock what is going on for student/athletes and what they feel is the best for their own interests.
You say salary cap, does anyone cap your salary or business ventures ? Or the endowments that these billion dollar universities have access to ? The nerve to quote Kirby Smart ( how much does he get paid ?), who says ....' something has to be done...." Are you serious ???!!!!!
Stay out of the pockets and welfare of these adult men, who can do as they feel is in their best interests, for them and their family's futures. You have no idea what these people have gone/survived through to get to this point in their lives, no idea !!!!!!
The audacity for anyone to preach and quip at another man's/women's demands and compensation requests for their services is laughable and actually a bit biased or ignorant from their own upbringing or the time when they played in football.
Sorry, this isn't the good ole days or good ole times. Freedom is freedom, say what you must, you have that right, yet so do all other people who are rendering services to billion dollar rich endowment universities, with billion dollar TV contracts !!!!!! Are anyone of you truly that unlearned from this ?
Please don't respond with education, tuition costs covered, room and board, stipend, etc......
It's a free country to negotiate any and all means that you may feel you're worth. When Skene or whoever else speaks against that, it makes me wonder who else has your ear or has you on strings to even speak that nonsense.
Let freedom ever reign and all who speak against it, your time will come.
Good day. Go Blue !!!!!!! 💛💙🌹
Harbaugh is full of sht saying who has got it better, if he goes to the NFL.
Skene is great. Balas is a joke
