4 1/2 stars might be a more accurate rating
If you had to choose just one pod focusing on Michigan athletics, this should be in your final four. Ira and Sam make a good team. Each adds something. Lots of terrific analysts/commentators are featured in the various segments. John U.Bacon, Steve Clarke, the Round Table speakers, Joe Simon and various former athletes or coaches stand out. Excellent for recruiting info except often gets repetitious when there is really nothing new to say. Interviews with coaches and with recruits and their coaches and parents are another strong point. Ads that come from nowhere are a major annoyance - motivation to listen less. The very loud The Ticket at the beginning of each new episode is a major bother and became an ear worm. Turn down the volume on the intro. Also Sam will raise the same issues and make the same comments with different speakers in a day’s segments or even over 2 or 3 days. The repetition and the intro repeated in each of 11 segments each day is why I subtracted half a star, but in fairness I will acknowledge that the repetition probably reflects the fact that this pod is taken from a radio show, and the radio audience no doubt changes through the day, so some one commuting at 8:00 a.m. will be longer listening at 8:30 while someone tuned in at the latter time wouldn’t have heard Sam make the same point half an hour earlier. But as a podcast one can listen to all of the show or as many segments as one wants.

Good team, great show. Knowledgeable and Entertaining. They are my #1 go to for UM sports. So good that OSU fans tune in to catch up on the latest UM news. Sam rocks it! I also highly recommend the “Michigan Insider” with Sam and Tim… in some aspects, an even better show.
