Hi everyone. I recently found out my multiple myeloma cancer (cancer of the bone marrow) has returned after about a 6.5 year hiatus. The good news is the doctors caught it early and I think it will be treatable. I'll find out more after some additional testing this week. I assume I'll have to do chemo and a stem cell transplant (which is a very effective, but a pretty intense and painful treatment). I'm still both angry and sad. I think relapses are something I'll have to deal with the rest of my life and that makes me angry too. I feel like God and Jesus hate me.

Well, I just wanted to vent my frustrations. I'll battle for my wife and kids and kick cancer's ass! Any advice from doctors or multiple myeloma and myeloma survivors/caregivers on here would be greatly appreciated (thanks in advance). Heck, advice from anyone is appreciated...lol.

I had Duke and Auburn in the NC game so my pick will most likely be wrong…….. Houston!

College years, it was a staple of this time of the year.

Nothing was better than St Pattys, March Madness, Baseball opening week, The Masters. Felt like we partied for three weeks straight. My buddy's birthday was always in the middle of all that and he always got an Oberon keg. It was the kick off to summer in so many ways.

Felt like the beer hadn't been as good in recent years, blame the mass production now that they are owned by a bigger company. Tended to just grab Blue Moon instead. I picked up some Oberon with the release this week and man. It's so damn good. Now I'm getting a nostalgia hit from the younger years too. Nothing beats a great beer.

CFB began having scrimmage partners for a spring game. WHO would everyone think Michigan could partner with for a spring game scrimmage? Would we go with another D-1 program? Or an FCS program. Neither program will show much of anything. But, to get some live action against other bodies. Just a thought.

Former Wolverine Jim Scarcelli joins the show and discusses what UM's offense will look like this year compared to last year. Scar also gets into NIL, analystics and spring games from around the country. Hot dog eating contests are also explored.

Not trying to deify the 17 year old too much but my goodness something just feels different. Probably because of all the hype but still!

One theory . . . Dusty is trying to improve the length and athleticism of the team.

It was nice having the twin towers of Goldin and Wolf this year but other than those guys, we were a bit on the shorter size. Donaldson (despite being listed on the roster as 6'3" is probably 6'0" at best). Having 4 guys at 6'5" and under at the wing positions is playing somewhat undersized. Tschetter at 6'7" with subpar length and explosiveness is playing undersized.

With Wolf and Goldin likely gone, we need to improve the length and athleticism at the other positions to be able to be more effective on defense and on the boards.

Replacing Donaldson with Cadeau makes us bigger (Cason is a legit 6'2" and plays bigger than Donaldson).

I think we're going to see a lot more turnover/additions still.

...and XL 18" double pepperoni pizza and a med meat lovers from our FAVORITE pizza joint in Colorado Springs.

Where's your go to when you don't feel like cooking on a Friday night?

You know better than anyone that we have each had a run of things in our lives that have derailed the podcast for a bit now.
We are excited to be back tonight and hopefully back in the regular routine moving forward.

No doubt, we lost a lot of the momentum we gained in terms of viewership and exposure for the pod. We could use your help.
If you like the show, let friends know about it, post on social media. Help us spread the word. We were seeing some strong numbers for awhile there and in some ways we will be starting over with so much time off.

Please join us LIVE at 7pm tonight. We're going tobe going through the depth chart and sharing all the intel and thoughts we have. As always, you can be part of the conversation.

"Michigan has everything I am looking for."

Four-star class of 2027 QB Peter Bourque took a visit to Michigan a couple weeks ago and came away impressed in many aspects.

STORY:

Last season, Michigan moved safety Makari Paige to nickel. Now, in a positionless defense, players like Mason Curtis are redefining the nickel position in modern college football.

Yup.

There's a 6'3" Valpo Guard in the portal named All Wright 😃:

Transferring to Xavier.

This PF ended up on Michigan's transfer portal contact list.

His numbers for UAB were eye-popping:
6'9", 240, 17.7 PPG, 11.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.8 blocks, 1.7 steals, 52% FG, 36% from 3, 76% FT.

Stat stuffer.
