Maize & Blue Review Podcast

Hail to the Podcast: Our biggest spring storylines, recruiting talk and more

M&BR is back with another episode of Hail to the Podcast. In this episode, we discuss the upcoming Michigan-Michigan State basketball game in the wake of the tragedy in East Lansing, recruiting talk and our biggest spring football storylines.

UM & MSU Basketball & Spring WR Depth; Good Afternoon, Michigan Football & Basketball

Interesting weekend for the maize & blue on the hardwood and ice. UM will welcome in MSU to the Crisler Center in a game that everyone hopes can help E. Lansing and the state of Michigan continue to heal after the tragedy this week. In addition to the brotherhood between the two schools UM will recognize its 2013 Final Four team back for a ten year reunion. Michigan hockey will play an outdoors game against Ohio State in the Cleveland Browns NFL stadium. That outdoor game brought up lots of feedback about sports arenas and players you remember growing up. Towards the end of this pod, I spend a half hour going over the UM WR room. Lots of options (WR's, TE's & RB's) for Sherrone Moore as the OC for next year when it comes to pass catchers for the UM offense.

Fast Five Recruiting Targets; Good Afternoon, Michigan Football

As the title to the pod suggests we will examine Michigan's chances at getting players from our top five target list. There is also a mystery audio piece that is played at the begining of the show where a person is talking about a big Michigan figure in the past who painted 'Go Blue' on his teeth. See if you can tell who we are talking about. Alex Orji's name is brought up as a player to look out for in the spring and in the Spring Game. Finally, I go down a rabbit hole and show pictures of Michigan "Grillz" on the internet.

What UM can learn from the Super Bowl; Good Afternoon, Michigan Football & Basketball

Couple things stood out to Michigan fans watching the Super Bowl last night. The field was slippery and so were the refs. We discuss those two things and look at some ideas that the Michigan football team can use next season. Juwan Howard said in his postgame on Saturday night that. "We weren't able to get to what we were asking from the offensive end because there were times when the guys want to go ahead and do it how they want to do it." Not a great sign for UM with now six games remaining in the regular season. Michigan hockey with a dramtic sweep of Michigan State over the weekend.

Should UM play MSU every year in football?; Good Afternoon, Michigan Football & Basketball
