Michigan HockeyCast 9.5: Buzzer Beatin'
1 Hour and 44 Minutes With David Nasternak and Alex Drain This Podcast Has a Sponsor: Michigan Law Grad Jonathan Paul is the guy with the C you want skating next to the ref and pleading your case. He's also a good guy to sit next to at the hockey games. Segment 1 A discussion of great buzzer beaters in sports history. Recap of the WMU game talks about power play woes, good goaltending, the early 3rd period surge, Horcoff’s blunder and then his heroism. This was a big game to win. Segment 2 A look around the former opponents including Denver’s clash with BC, MSU’s struggles with UNH, a surprising weekend from Minnesota, and more lackluster B1G results.

Offense vs Indiana Starts at 0:54 Was that the worst play call you've ever seen? After two years of charting Wink Martindale, Seth says yes. Let's talk about 3rd and goal from the one inch line. This play was supposed to go to the rhino! Jason Beck has very special boy syndrome, more than anyone other assistant coach. Kyle Whittingham always seems surprised at press conferences when things go wrong, you're the head coach! Jason Beck has lost Michigan three games that they should've won and they would've been a lock to be in the playoffs right now. They run the "very special boy" plays when they can't even run the base plays. Would you rather watch this game 100 times in a row or 27 for 27 100 times in a row? Zack Marhsall's leaked texts were probably the nicest things being said about Beck. If Kyle Whittingham doesn't have a solution on how to fix this then he should already just be let go. There's no coming back from that 3rd and 1, firing Jason Beck doesn't solve anything but it sets the precedence that this performance is unacceptable. Harbaugh had a whole bag of plays that countered the defense adjusting to the base plays, Beck doesn't have that. Was the QB change actually a mistake? Tommy's first half was benchable, the second half was okay. There's a reason why you don't start true freshmen at QB but you also need to adjust your offensive scheme to a true freshman QB. Why would anyone want to stay on this team as long as Jason Beck is still the OC? Half the team is probably already in the "portal" and nothing is going to change until the people responsible for ruining things are removed. 2. Defense vs Indiana Starts at 34:03 Indiana had one pass in the second half, Zeke Berry was the one to catch it. Jyaire Hill made himself a lot of money in this game, he locked down Charlie Becker. The only issue with the defense were some leaked yards on missed tackles. Enow Etta played early but was on the injury report and was limited. Dominic Nichols didn't play which was coming. Benny Patterson has earned "guy" status, not a dude yet, but a guy. Is Chris Bracy the best player on the defense/the team? Was part of Michigan's success coming from Indiana turtling when Cignetti realized Michigan can't score? The Indiana injury report had to have been wrong, it said everyone was healthy. 3. Hot Takes, Special Teams, and Game Theory (Bonus: Hockey) Starts at 55:59 Takes hotter than Jay Hill after looking at this boxscore and saying "we haven't given up 20 points all season, how are we 4-3??" Would you take Mike Locksley or Al Borges as OC?? Field goal shank, it was out of range anyways. Zero kick returns! Punt returns were something. Kyle Whittingham committed malpractice in not challenging the "fumble" pitch to Hiter, it was a forward pass. At least work the referee. The ball that went through the gunner's legs had to have hit him, you have to challenge that, too. We can't believe Indiana actually jumped offsides on 4th and 1, maybe Beck actually caught them off guard with the predictable motion! Only one penalty, and it was the worst roughing the passer penalty ever! They missed Michigan's delay of game o

Featured Musician: De Novo THE VIDEO: [After THE JUMP: The show notes.] --------------------- 1. Indiana Preview: Offense starts at the top Josh Hoover isn't a Heisman QB, but he's good, and has two excellent receivers, a good OL, and speedy RBs. Khobie Martin, their expected RB1, is supposedly back as well. They don't know what to do with the TEs however. 2. Indiana Preview: Defense starts at 23:35 The #2 defense to SP+ made life hell on Ohio State, have four good (two excellent) linemen and two stars in the secondary. One of the CB positions might be a sport worth attacking. They stunted the hell out of the 2024 offense; maybe that table can be turned? 3.Hoops v Houston Preview starts at 44:36 We preview basketball's last exhibition, since Houston is expected to be a contender. Some interesting developments against Oregon State regarding the playmaking chops of Thiam. Estrella's defense has been a surprise the other way; he's going to be a hole, and that might lead to starting Reed so they can continue switching 1-4. Didn't see as much Hartman vs Oregon State, think the freshman version of him is superfluous on a team with two PGs, McKenney, and Roddy Gayle, and if you have time for more spacing just play Quinn Costello. Houston is the telltale if this offense is really good. 4. After Further Review: Penn State starts at 58:02 They ran Stretch! Underwood was benched for poor performance is what happened. Tommy benefited from better playcalling and personnel usage, also showed good poise. Improvement from Beck was not good from Beck; he still does things that make absolutely zero sense. Defense wasn't Jay Hill's best gameplan. Tried out three approaches to 12 personnel, of those Big Nickel was the best I thought. Cornerbacks had a bad day, but 76% of downfield throws were contested and they're not going to catch 40% of those always, right? I mean, IU might. Featured Musician: De Novo Continuing through my collections from my time as a band merch guy, this sampler is all I have, unfortunately, from a fascinating group that existed for a short time in Ann Arbor in the early-mid 2000s. I knew them because they used to open for Oblivion (my best friends and college housemates). It was formed by Scott Doerrfeld, the keyboardist, who found drummer Nick Kittle with a flier, and Kittle brought along guitarist Spencer Bastian, who was just oozing with musical talent and knew how to mix their recordings himself. They struggled to find a singer until they met Serena Arena, and her haunting voice is the first thing you hear; she's not quite Dolores O'Reardon but she had that same sort of Banshee wail that you had to hear live. This was not a good era to be starting any kind of band, let alone a proggy hard rock Cranberries thing, but I never forgot Serena's voice, and every time I put this sampler back on I find something new in Spencer's compositions. You can tell this dude had major musical chops because today he's a Grammy-nominated producer in Detroit. Bet he's going to be pretty surprised someone has a copy of him playing. Merch guys never forget, Spence. Songs: "Precious Metal" "Driving On" "Nancy" Also because Across 110th Street will get our Youtubes taken down, the opener and ou

WTKA Roundtable 10/22/2026: The Game of Vibes
Things Discussed: Sometimes your hyped starter is making too many mistakes and playing a young guy just gives you a spark, and that's what happened last week when Michigan made a change at right guard. :) Tommy Time: Penn State's reaction was to make things easier on the freshman, which was kind of insane. Tommy has so much more poise than Bryce; we all agree he's the QB to start against Indiana. Bryce struggled more than you realize (interfered slant was wrong read, second interception was at least five yards off). Great at zone reads, terrible at throwing downfield. Carr will get a reality check from IU. Still have major Beck problems. Two-man route on 3rd & 4, RPO pop pass on 3rd & 8, what are you doing? Stretch: They got three explosives from it. They still had it; error rate was very low. Seth likens it to the USC/Washington stretch last year when Wink got so obliterated he had to find humility. Craig: We suggested pistol and they got the Kuz run from it. Josh Gattis's Army game running arc without split zone. Split flow blocker provides so much. Execution and Tactics: The bloggers told you to run pistol, split stretch, dagger (coulda been), and you've got too much rhino. When the bloggers know better, you've got a problem. Going back to that USC game last year: you saw Rod Moore have his worst game, you saw them unable to defend the edge of power—when the vibe is bad things unravel in this game. Do you have any confidence in Beck to run basic stuff and be competent? I don't. Indiana has the best coaching staff in the country right now—kept both of their coordinators after the natty. Expectations for Tommy? Good thing we know next to nothing about what he's good at so IU can't take it away. Defense? Cornerbacks had a really bad outing vs PSU. A lot of that was OPI, but you're not going to get many calls for pushoffs in this league. Those fades do not require any pass pro because the ball is aloft before the IU plan: how are you getting outside? How are you beating man? Where's your QB run game? Sam says they have to pass out of play-action. How many times are you running Tommy? IU is the best team M faces this year. Run a lot of RPOs. A lot of unknowns; Hoover got hurt, isn't Mendoza. Worried about the front, both PSU and Minnesota went on long drives because they're not able to create a lot of havoc. Marsh and Becker can win jump balls; rather have IU score relatively quickly. Seth's turn in the BPONE, predicts 30-10 Indiana because IU feasts on turnovers. Good teams expose weaknesses you didn't even know you had, and other than Oklahoma's defense Michigan hasn't been playing good teams. Worried that we've played our cards now and things could unravel.

Michigan HockeyCast 9.4: I Ain't Afraid Of No Ghosts
1 Hour and 11 Minutes With David Nasternak and Alex Drain This Podcast Has a Sponsor: Michigan Law Grad Jonathan Paul is the guy with the C you want skating next to the ref and pleading your case. He's also a good guy to sit next to at the hockey games. Segment 1 A discussion of visual podcasts and pets. The first Denver game was a pretty complete victory, sans DuPont and Johnny Hicks. Michigan scored early and led all the way. Jayden Perron has a goal in every game so far. Got the split that was needed at the very least, with the opportunity for more. Segment 2 The second Denver game was dicier, with DuPont back. DU scored the first goal, then Michigan answered with three. Then DU came back, including some of the craziest goals we’ve ever seen. Michigan had to kill two long 5v3s. Then a roundup of games this weekend, including discussion of the B1G’s depth looking bad. Just one game this weekend, vs. WMU, and tickets are pricey.

MGoPodcast 18.7: Everybody Got His Wish
2 hours and 19 minutes The Sponsors Thank you to Underground Printing for making this all possible. Rishi and Ryan have been our biggest supporters from the beginning. Check out their wide selection of officially licensed Michigan fan gear at their 3 store locations in Ann Arbor or learn about their custom apparel business at undergroundshirts.com.

Offense vs Penn State Starts at 0:54 One of Brian's absurd score predictions almost hit. Opposing Penn State fans were quite pleasant because they were also complaining about their team. In 2014 Devin Funchess was the difference, in this game it was split stretch. Just get out of your own way with the pre-snap frippery. They're finally running the plays they're good at (stretch) and it took six games, three horrible, to figure it out. If Jason Beck can take a step back and look at this game as an example of how to simplify things then he might be okay. Tommy didn't seem like a tremendously better QB than Bryce but the play calls were a lot better. Bryce was going along fine then had a bad series, started spiraling, and it was gone. They needed a change on offense and the best way to do that in football is change the QB, it sucks that it's a true freshman. Tommy didn't go out and win the game but he certainly didn't lose it. Curt Cignetti is probably excited to scheme against a true freshman QB. Does Bryce still have the higher ceiling on the season? It's hard to judge anyone based on what's happening tactically. Kuzdzal's touchdown was well blocked, Goodwin has that JJ McCarthy "how are you that fast??" speed. Hiter looked pretty good. If you have the defense thinking about stretch and then you run duo you can catch them off guard. It's not the offensive line's fault that they can't run the ball, which is an insane thing to say. There's a time and a place for the rhino, but it can't be half of your snaps. [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP] 2. Defense vs Penn State Starts at 51:33 Cornerback play was a little disappointing, Penn State was getting a lot of contested balls. WR Chase Sowell is a dude, though. This game didn't bode well for having to face and bracket Jeremiah Smith. They don't jump routes when they're in zone, they look less confident. Penn State ran well on the first drive and then it disappeared. Palepale came in and made a great play. John Henry Daley looked really good, he danced around a lot to make a play on a sack. Carter Meadows saw some play time. Troy Bowles had some nice plays and is the blitz guy. Chris Bracey was all over the place and had an amazing game. He had an interception and made up a lot of distance to break up a late pass play. Rod Moore injured his ankle after his interception and had to be carted off but came back with tape. How will this defense hold up against Indiana? Did Josh Hoover get injured? This is not a shut-down defense but they're hard to crack. 3. Hot Takes, Special Teams, and Game Theory Starts at 1:18:20 Takes hotter than split stretch in the second half. They correctly used a timeout to get the ball back which was correct. It doesn't feel good punting from the +35 but do you think you can hit a field goal there? Should you go for it on 4th and 1 from your own 35? Why don't they have a short yardage package with Bryce? JJ Buchanan's hold was legit, sorry bud. Most of Michigan's penalties were legit. Why wasn't there a delay of game? It seemed egregious. Cam Brown's punting was not from where he's most efficient. K

Featured Musician: Canada THE VIDEO: [After THE JUMP: The show notes.] --------------------- 1. Penn State Preview starts at the top. OFFENSE: Meh. Becht has been starting for Matt Campbell for four years, is decent at reading out a defense but his level of play has dipped as the competition surpassed his ability. He's not a Brock Purdy sleeper NFL QB. Both RBs are just guys. WR Chase Sowell is on his 4th school but has been ranked higher in the portal every time, is now their most important offensive player because downfield threat Koby Howard is injured. OL doesn't scare us; Malachi Goodman is not ready for Big Ten pass pro and the other guys don't move people. Their TE room is pretty okay—they did work by playing a bunch of them together. DEFENSE: D'Anton Lynn is one of the Ravens guys, the safeties coach Baltimore hired when Minter left for Vanderbilt. After the system didn't take in SoCal he's brought it to Happy Valley, and brought along players from UCLA and Iowa State to run it. One difference: the HEAVY OLB becomes the END in their 5-2 sets, which effectively means they're adding a DE not a DT when they go out of nickel. For Michigan it might mean they can try to plow against a defense that is built to not allow that first and foremost. For PSU it means they've been a little sus against quick-hitting offenses. The Wing-T blew them apart. Experienced LBs make it work most downs however. Hope Beck's finally got his head out of his ass. All-Big XII safety Marcus Neal got benched, and might be moving to LB. 2. Hockeytalk, and a little Hoops starts at 26:52 A 4-0 start for the icers goes on the road to the defending champions with the #1 ranking on the line; does their weird juju apply to the regular season as well? Most impressive performance so far might be that return game at Bowling Green, where they were outplayed for a period then roared back. Ivankovic has been better than anyone realizes. Jayden Perron has been outstanding. Landon Dupont everything advertised. 3. After Further Review: Minnesota starts at 41:49 Unnnnghhhh. Jason Beck's offense is all counters, no meat, and does nonsensical things like pull a guard on a passing down. Avery Gach had a rough outing IDing his blocks, which is understandable since he was a guard until thrust into duty, and those blocks are unique to TEs. But everyone wants to know about the defense, right? Tackling was an issue because they got tired. Tariq Boney met his match in lengthy OTs who can grab at will and don't have to dropback pass pro. 4. Sklars! starts at 1:04:41 The brothers are in town all weekend, with shows last night, tonight, and two on Saturday (they'll hold the start of Show 1 for people coming from the PSU game). Featured Musician: Canada They call themselves a "seven-piece chamber folk-pop band." I call them a perfect distillation of the kind of music coming out of Ann Arbor in the mid-2000s, when they put out the How Dare You EP, which I had in the band box. I think I actually bought this one when they opened for Saturday Looks Good to Me. Unfortunately it's scratched to shit, so I went on Spotify

WTKA Roundtable 10/15/2026: The Monkey's Paw Curled
Things Discussed: Tactical issues: They run constraint plays without establishing the base, so they overreactions to what they're doing. They don't punish the safeties being at 8 and 6 yards. Two different OC types: Lindsay type attaches his stuff to what you're doing; RR/Beck types want to install their offense. Watch Utah last year: Beck last year would not like what Beck does this year. Feels like Jason Beck is on tilt; he's trying to win the game with every playcall, and he's not getting the homers. You can put Max Bredeson on the field but he's got to be at least a little bit of a threat. Alex Bauman? He's a blocking TE who makes good reads so he might be an answer. But Zack Marshall was that guy. How many seams have we thrown this year? None. How did Purdue get a big run vs Minnesota at the start of the game, threatened the seam, safety steps back, blockers win. They don't run Dagger. They don't throw to anyone but their first two receivers. Brian got a QB running game and the monkey's paw curled. This is probably the biggest disconnect between expectations and reality we've ever faced. Hockeytalk: Michigan has an incredible concentration of talent, they're not the only ones. Heady time to be a college hockey fan because there are some great teams out there because CHL players are now in the Big Ten. Think the season will be less frustrating but the Tournament will be brutal because several schools (MSU, Denver) have their best team ever. Hoopstalk: Not last year's team but pretty good. Trey is the star but he's a shooter; his offense should be shoot or go downhill. Expect them to do some shooting, work in Quinn Costello as a movement shooter, and OREB. Thiam has to learn better shot selection, develop a two-man game with Cadeau. He can't be taking the bad shots because the other guys should be taking those so Thiam and Estrella can put them back.
