Episode Notes

After covering all the painful memories last week, Serena and Matt each share their most joyous/euphoric/exhilarating Michigan football wins (with some debate at the top), then briefly discuss the transfer portal pickup of Cam Goode and react to some, uh, questionable early-top-25 rankings that were released this week.

To the good stuff:

• Had to cover the flip side after subjecting everybody to all the depressing memories in our last episode
• The frontrunners:
  • 2021 Ohio State (not much detail needed here) -- Matt's #1
  • 2011 Notre Dame -- Serena's #1, and the game that made her (a student at the time) really fall in love with Michigan/college football
  • A few candidates at #3, including a couple Michigan State games (one of which you might not expect) and '97 Ohio State given the obvious Big Ten/national title/Heisman implications
• These are the games that get you hooked (although if you're old like Matt, that may have happened even earlier)
• Other topics:
  • The addition of Cam Goode from UCF will be extremely helpful for rotational/depth purposes on the interior D-line
  • A few early top 25 rankings came out this week, with Michigan a consensus bottom-half-of-the-top-10 team -- does this seem right?
  • In non-Michigan observations, every one of these rankings has at least one top-10 team that's extremely iffy -- we debate whether Texas, USC or Michigan State is the most/least believable
