Rounding up a few things that won’t otherwise make it into a post in time…
Podcasts!
Detroit’s Matt Holtz was on the Matt Shepard show in Detroit. Michigan’s John Paul was on the Michigan Insider on WTKA in Ann Arbor (starts at 5:50). A good time was had by all? The morning shows should just arm wrestle over who wins the game tonight.
Common Opponents
Ohio State
Detroit 8, Ohio State 14
Michigan 8, Ohio State 17
Bellarmine
Michigan 6, Bellarmine 12
Detroit 4, Bellarmine 10
Detroit had the upper hand against Ohio State in the opening game of the year, Michigan had a better performance against Bellarmine, early in their own season. Both teams have endured ups and downs over the course of the season (as have the opponents mentioned here), but it’s always interesting to see how they perform against a control group.
