Proud Wolverine and political flamethrower Eli Zaret dishes up some hot takes on the Big Game, which Big Blue lost, and the Blue Wave, which the GOP lost. ML and Marc carry the ball while Shawn rides a plane and Erika plots her triumphant return. 

STRAIGHT DOPE
The election is over, so ML compares the crew’s bold predictions against the actual results. Listen and learn how they did.

From election to erection, ML is still rock over the Big Game in Ann Arbor Saturday night, when his Spartans stunned everyone (except Marc) and beat the Wolverines. Soulmates can even see a video of ML dancing on the streets of Ann Arbor to Warren G’s “Regulate.” Hit this link to become a Soulmate.

Michigan Sports Hall of Famer Eli Zaret drops in to deliver his annual assessment of the MSU-UM rivalry (as well as his annual recycling of his SAT joke) — but first he reveals how he hooked legendary comedian George Carlin up with weed before a show in Toledo. Carlin, by the way, had a great show–  while Eli got the ‘noid in the second row.

One coach understood what was on the line in the Big Game Saturday, and one was clueless. It was almost a complete reversal of what happened last year. The crew reveals who was who.

Marc and Eli say they expect Wolverine head football coach Kyle Whittingham to be run out of town, while ML wants to see his contract extended.

ML decided to go on the Barstool political podcast on election night, only to find out one of the first questions would be based on candid conversations he had with a producer about how much ML disliked Portnoy.

Michigan’s offensive coordinator didn’t survive last week’s disaster, and Eli says Donald Trump and his MAGA movement also won’t survive their epic defeat at the polls last week. 

Eli says he is one of what turned out to be many Jewish voters who were concerned about Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, but voted for him anyway in his U.S. Senate race with Republican Mike Rogers.

ML’s latest column looks at who really won in that U.S. Senate race. Read it here.

Shawn is on his way to watch MSU take on another big blue rival — Duke. In the meantime, get his latest on the Wolverines coaching dilemma.
