About this episode

Ken discusses his issues with Michigan's attitude towards football and contrasts it with Ohio State fans, while analyzing J.J. McCarthy's performance and the national sentiment against Michigan.

Ken makes clear he doesn't hate Michigan, but he can't stand the program acting above the fray on scandals while pretending football matters less to them than academics, contrasting it with Ohio State fans who at least own their history. He and Anthony revisit J.J. McCarthy's underwhelming title-winning résumé and argue the whole country is now rooting against Michigan heading into their Oklahoma matchup after the disputed Western Michigan finish.
