MGoRadio 3.3: When the Cat Person’s Away

This edition of MGoRadio was recorded before a live happy hour audience at HOMES Brewery in Ann Arbor. If your bar would like to host us on a week Michigan’s playing on the road, hit me up.

Special Guest: Rishi Narayan, co-owner of our presenting sponsors UGP & the Bo Store, won’t come on the podcast when it’s in his store, but put him somewhere he can get a beer and he makes Rich Rod jokes on the Gimmicky Top Five!

Special Brian Replacement: Brian is sick so Seth Fisher (Hi Mom!) sat in in his stead while Ace hosted.

---------------------------------

The Sponsors

We can do this because people support us. You should support them too so they’ll want to do it again next year! The show is presented by UGP & The Bo Store, and if it wasn’t for Rishi and Ryan we’d be talking to ourselves.

Our other sponsors are also key to all of this: HomeSure Lending, Peak Wealth Management, Ann Arbor Elder Law, the Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown, the University of Michigan Alumni Association, Michigan Law Grad,, Human Element, DEO Bookkeeping, and Lantana Hummus

Air Force After UFR: The Offense

starts at 1:00

Yeah now we’re worried about Speight. The not seeing his best receiver wide open problem is a new one to tack on to can’t throw a fade and inaccuracy issues. It may be pressure (that right tackle spot isn’t going to fix itself overnight). Positive: he looked kind of like this last year. Running game execution is what it is. Receiver execution is youth. Fanbase is going through growing pains with this team.

After UFR: The Defense

starts at 21:53

When can we give Winovich a shield? Offense designed to make you look foolish made Michigan’s defenders look like savants…except for that one play. Gary is probably equally good but for whatever reason Air Force chose to double him and live and die on whether they can beat Winovich. Good choice.

Gimmicky Top Five: Things We’d Do With MGoBlog While Brian’s Away

starts at 40:03

UGP & Bo Store co-founder—and MGoBlog’s longest-serving sponsor—Rishi Narayan sat in with Seth & Ace as we used the opportunity afforded by Brian’s absence to dream of what we’d do with the site without him. OMG Shirtless Draftageddons ahoy!

Purdue Preview

starts at 50:05

Louisville game was eye-opening; Mizzou has given up on breathing. We’re still pumping the breaks here. Microcosm of the Big Ten: lots of good running backs and linebackers, very weak on receivers, linemen, and safeties, project to get a lot better. Sindelar is the guy Michigan fans think Speight is. PLAY. ASSIGNMENT. FOOTBALL. Talk is cheap.

MUSIC:

YouTube changed up their policies so we're trying to stay away from copyrighted music on live broadcasts. If you or a friend made some good tunes and don't have a label out scrubbing for them we'd be happy to feature you.

This week it's The Champaign Saints, a local band who sent us their music (and had a four-name law firm in their signature because that’s how MGoBlog readers roll). Songs:

• “Don’t Cost My Name”
• “The Love Unconscious” because Devin Bush
• “Ann Arbor Midnights”
• “Across 110th Street”
