Before the game started, it was announced that Divine Ugochukwu was out with an illness. Kur Teng got the start at shooting guard. Even without missing a starter, we knew this was going to be a tough game. I don’t think anyone imagined it being as ugly as it was. There was a slow start […]
Here we go! Big Ten conference play is in full effect, and we are getting 2026 started with a top 25 matchup as our #9 Spartans visit the undefeated #13 Nebraska Cornhuskers. Time to see if MSU can pick its level of play back up to what it was when we were taking down ranked […]
First, a brief recap: ReliaQuest Bowl: Iowa 34, Vanderbilt 27 Las Vegas Bowl: Utah 44, Nebraska 22 Citrus Bowl: Texas 41, Michigan 27 Brian Gillis: Michigan played hard in a back-and-forth affair against Texas, but a couple of late Bryce Underwood interceptions paved the way for a disappointing 14-point loss to the Longhorns. A fitting end, you […]
Given everything that’s unfolded in Ann Arbor over the past few weeks, you’d be forgiven for forgetting that Michigan’s season isn’t over and that the Wolverines still have a bowl game to play. With so much off-the-field news, the Citrus Bowl has become somewhat of an afterthought. Which is a bit ironic, given the matchup. […]
With just a few days until the portal window opens, NC State officially has 13 players who’ve announced their intent to transfer and cast their fates to the wind and/or a Michigan directional school.

Bowl season wackiness is upon us. The Big Ten is bragging about beating up on blah non-Power teams while the SEC had some struggle with utilizing back-up quarterbacks and thin defenses. ESS-EE-SEE GATOR BOWL: Virginia 13 Missouri 7 – With Beau Pribula being a baby, Mizz was stuck with underdeveloped freshman QB Matt Zollers at […]
After taking last week off from the surveys, we are back at it. We have a question regarding the quarterfinals of the CFP. To remind you all, in last year’s 1st-ever 12-team field, all four teams that had the opening round bye got knocked off immediately by teams that played the week earlier. So we […]
Kentucky Football is expected to hire Chad Wilt as its next linebackers coach, according to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports, adding a highly experienced defensive assistant to Will Stein’s staff as the Wildcats continue to reshape their defense under new defensive coordinator Jay Bateman.

Jay Hill has been the defensive coordinator and associate head coach at BYU for the last three seasons since the Cougars joined the Big 12. BYU has […]
Eli Drinkwitz mentioned earlier this week that he wouldn’t hire Kirby Moore’s replacement until he felt comfortable with the Tigers’ approach to the bowl game. According to the latest report from CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz, Drinkwitz’s plans for Virginia must be coming along nicely. According to a report from Zenitz this afternoon, Michigan offensive coordinator […]
Penn State got humbled on the road against Indiana, then nearly pulled the upset against Michigan State back home. They played exactly like a young team would, with high highs and low lows. Now, they get to face a much easier opponent in the Pitt Panthers, who have already lost to the likes of Quinnipiac […]
Time for our annual (can I say “Rivalry”?) game against the Oakland Grizzlies from Little Caesars Arena in Detroit. Last year gave us the wonderful photo of two head coaches in matching sweaters. I am looking forward to seeing how these two outdo themselves this year. Oh, and there is also a basketball game. But […]
Happy Friday, TOC Nation. Here are the results from our two survey questions this week as well as the results of the four national survey questions. If you want to partake in those questions moving forward, you can sign up for that here. The first question we asked this week turned out to be our […]
To say it’s been a tumultuous week in Ann Arbor would be putting it mildly. After the shocking dismissal and subsequent arrest of head coach Sherrone Moore last Wednesday, Michigan abruptly shifted its focus from its New Year’s Eve bowl game against Texas to an unexpected search for a new football coach. The timing couldn’t […]
Hey everyone, time for this week’s survey questions. First up, we are looking back at some of the big individual performances we have seen from our basketball team. Which one has been the most impressive one of the bunch? And second, new head football coach Pat Fitzgerald is continuing to assemble his coaching staff. So […]
Let’s just start with this: After a year of trusting another defensive coordinator, head coach Brent Venables is back to acting as the DC this year. And, well, they’re giving up all of 14 points per game – one of the best in the entire country. The’ve absolutely stymied most of their schedule, but Michigan, […]
The two December Big Ten games are out of the way, and now MSU has a trio of non-major teams to get through to wrap up 2025. The stretch begins today against the Toledo Rockets. Our Spartans are favored by 24.5. I’m personally calling for a 30-point win. Got to clean up the mistakes from […]
We’ve only heard excerpts so far, but this is a fun episode of the Brotherhood Podcast. A couple of high points: Caleb Foster and Isaiah Evans laugh about Michigan State taunting Cameron Boozer with the weak “Eff Cam Boozer,” saying they knew it was going to get him going – and it did. Then there’s […]
After a full week off, an eternity when coming off a stinging loss, the Michigan State Spartans get back on the court today for their second conference game. This time they are on the road to take on the Penn State Nittany Lions. MSU is favored in this one by 12.5. Hopefully we blow way […]

Happy Thursday, everyone. As Brent covered last night, Michigan fired head coach Sherrone Moore after a bizarre and dark episode that could very easily have turned tragic.
