Radio recap (9/9): Revisiting Michigan's loss to Texas. What is fixable?
This post is unlocked and available for all readers
Earlier today, I was on the air for my weekly radio appearance over at The Michigan Insider with Sam Webb and Ira Weintraub on the newly rebranded The Big 1050 WTKA in Ann Arbor. I’m sending this newsletter to share audio of the appearance, plus a timestamped topic guide of what was discussed and when.
In case you missed it, my Texas-Michigan column went live this morning. Premium subscribers can read that HERE. It’s a nearly 5,000-word look at what went wrong over the weekend.
Looking ahead, here’s the content plan for the remainder of the week (please note that I’ve decided to combine my Stock Watch and Power Rankings into one newsletter going forward. I’m sending the radio recap today, but starting next week, it will go out on Tuesdays so people can go back to expecting one piece of content in their inbox each weekday):
Today: Michigan-Texas column and radio recap
Wednesday: Stock Watch + Power Rankings
Thursday: Subscriber Q&A
Friday: Week 3 viewing guide (picks/predictions)
Saturday/Sunday: Michigan-Arkansas State coverage
All newsletters besides the radio recap are behind the premium content paywall. If you’re a free subscriber and are interested in upgrading to a premium membership, you can explore those options at the bottom below:
And with that out of the way, here’s this week’s audio:
