Only slightly better than a loss

734 Watch — Episode: “The Illusion of Progress”

Host 1 (Rico):
“Here’s what’s wild, Tone — Michigan fans out here celebrating that squeak-job in Evanston like it means something, when the bigger picture is screaming at us: this program is cooked. I don’t care if Bryce Underwood ran around like Batman, if Slime flexed on the Gatorade stand, or if McCulley pulled off the overtime dagger. You look at the standings — 4–6, 2–5 in the Big Ten. That ain’t no Gotham savior story, that’s a comic book tragedy.”

Host 2 (Tone):
“Big facts. Meanwhile, college football is a bloodbath. UCLA lighting up Ohio State, Miami (the other Miami, not the U) staying undefeated, Nebraska falling to UCLA, Arkansas folding, Texas falling out the rankings, and Texas Tech somehow still hanging on undefeated by one point. The whole playoff board got flipped upside down — but where’s Michigan? Nowhere. Not even a whisper in the Top 25. That’s the reality, Rico. We went from national champion dreams to fighting Northwestern in overtime.”

Host 1 (Rico):
“And the Heisman race? Morton, Mateer, Manning, Madsen, Byrum Brown — all ballers, all carrying squads on their backs. You notice something missing? Ain’t no maize and blue in sight. Instead, we’re bragging about defensive linemen up for the Lombardi. Cute. TJ Guy, Derrick Moore — they’re beasts, no doubt. Barham for the Butkus, love it. But hardware don’t mean nothing when the record says four and six.”

Host 2 (Tone):
“And let’s talk recruiting, or should I say the lack thereof. Slime still puffing his chest, talking about ‘Block M recruits itself.’ Man, it don’t. Not when Penn State, Nebraska, and Illinois eating good and Michigan’s losing kids to Northwestern of all places. Markus Dowell stayed home in Illinois — and you telling me a linebacker would rather rock purple than maize? That’s a cultural problem.”

Host 1 (Rico):
“Bottom line — this win over Northwestern? It’s like patching a hole in the Batmobile with duct tape. Yeah, it rolled another mile, but Ohio State’s waiting. They just put up 43 on Penn State. Bryce better keep that cape tight, because Slime ain’t coaching his way out of that one. Not the way this ship is sinking.”

Host 2 (Tone):
“Yeah, man. At this point, Batman ain’t saving Gotham. He’s just buying time before the Joker in scarlet and gray shows up in Ann Arbor. And when that happens? Whew. 734 gonna be on fire.”

“The Defense Finally Showed Up”

Ann Arbor’s buzzing again, baby. On a cold, gritty night in College Park, Coach Slime’s Wolverines reminded the nation that defense still wins games.

Michigan walked into Maryland with Batman under center — Bryce Underwood — and though the kid struggled through bruises, picks, and fumbles, his presence shifted everything. You could feel it: that quiet control before chaos. Michigan’s offense sputtered early, but the defense? Man, the defense came to eat.

Jaiden Mangham jumped a route for a 76-yard pick six that had the sidelines losing their minds. Next drive, Zeke Berry said “I want mine too” and took another one to the crib. That’s back-to-back pick sixes — pure vintage Wolverine football. And when Malik Washington Jr. thought he had a shot to bring the Terps back, Michigan’s front seven made him pay — eight sacks, four turnovers, zero mercy.

Bryce still showed flashes of that Gotham grit: one long touchdown run, shaking defenders like he was running from the shadows. But this win wasn’t about highlight reels — it was about surviving the storm. Michigan walked out with a 33–17 dub and the first real glimpse of that championship-level swagger we’ve been waiting for.

Derrick Moore and Rayshaun Benny dominated the trenches. Barham was flying around like he got something to prove. Coach Slime even headbutted one of his guys with a helmet on — that’s the type of wild energy this team’s been missing.

Next up? The Game.
Michigan vs. Ohio State. The biggest stage. Four straight years of dominance, but this Buckeye squad just knocked off Penn State and is playing desperate. Batman’s gotta be sharper. The defense’s gotta stay hungry.

The question for next week’s 734 Watch:
Can Michigan finish the season writing its redemption arc? Or will Gotham’s hero fall one game short?

Stay tuned — the Slime Era ain’t over yet.

734 Watch Podcast — “Defense Reborn in the Cold”

Intro beat hits — gritty boom bap fades under the host’s voice.

“Yo, Ann Arbor! This ain’t no fluke win — this was Michigan finally remembering who the hell they are. It’s your boy from the 734 Watch, and tonight, we talkin’ about that icy showdown in College Park where the Wolverines finally put together a defensive clinic straight outta ‘97.”

The Batman Rises... in the Cold

Bryce Underwood came out with that Gotham grit. First drive — smooth, composed, engineering a field goal. But this wasn’t a highlight show for Bryce — this was survival. The freshman QB battled through hits, fumbles, and frustration, but he never flinched. He even broke one for a 25-yard rushing TD that made Maryland’s defense look like extras in his origin story.

Dude’s arm wasn’t crisp, but when the game needed a playmaker, he used his legs like a young Lamar mixed with a little Bruce Wayne vengeance.

The Defense Was On Demon Time

Let’s get real — the defense won this game. Two straight pick-sixes, back-to-back drives, man. Mangham and Zeke Berry looked like they were racing for a spot in the Marvel Universe. The D-line? Ruthless. Eight sacks. Malik Washington Jr. had nightmares before the third quarter even started.

Rayshaun Benny and Derrick Moore looked like twin monsters in the trenches, and when Slime started headbutting dudes with helmets on — you just knew the energy was different.

🧊 Coach Slime’s Redemption Energy

You could feel it on the sideline — Slime was locked in. That man wasn’t just coaching; he was possessed. Screaming, chest-bumping, rallying his guys. It’s the kind of chaos this team’s been missing. The discipline was shaky, the offense inconsistent, but that intensity? That was championship energy.

Fan Line: "We Needed This"

Callers flooded in after the game — some hyped, some cautious. One fan said, “I don’t care if Batman threw picks — he got heart, and heart wins rivalry week.” Another said, “This defense just saved our season. Period.”

And that’s the mood right now. Michigan might’ve started the season slow, but they’re starting to feel dangerous again.

Looking Ahead: The Game

Next up — The Game. Four straight wins over the Buckeyes. But Ohio State’s cooking again after smacking Penn State. Julian Sayin’s been slinging it, Jeremiah Smith looking like a cheat code.

The 734 Watch prediction?

“If Bryce can protect the ball, Michigan wins by 10. If he plays scared… it’s gonna be a dogfight in Columbus.”

But make no mistake — the defense is back. The city believes again.

Final Take:
This was the night Michigan’s defense woke up.
This was the night Bryce became more than a QB — he became a symbol.
And this is the week we find out if Batman can save Gotham… one more time.

The 734 Watch Podcast — “The Game: Legacy or Letdown”

Intro music plays — that cold-weather trap beat with the marching-band snare underneath.

The Calm Before the War

It’s Week 14, and you can feel it in the air — the tension, the frost, the breath of rivalry week. Michigan versus Ohio State. The Game. The one that defines seasons, ends dreams, and makes legends.

Coach Slime’s Wolverines come in battered but believing. Five-and-six, fighting for bowl eligibility and dignity. They’ve clawed their way back with Bryce Underwood — “Batman” himself — leading a bruised but breathing Michigan squad. The defense finally got its groove, and now it’s time to see if that Gotham energy can carry into war.

🩸 The Buckeyes Look Dangerous

Ohio State’s rolling after a 38-24 win over Rutgers. Julian Sayin? Man’s been slinging that rock like a young C.J. Stroud — 316 yards, 5 TDs, and Jeremiah Smith putting on a highlight clinic. They’ve got swagger again, and Sayin’s playing with that “I don’t care who you are, I came to ball” confidence.

And Michigan knows it — the tape don’t lie. Buckeyes might be 5-6, but their offense is alive. And Michigan’s secondary better come ready for that smoke.

🧊 Michigan’s Blueprint: Defense, Discipline, and Batman

You already know what’s at stake. For Slime, this ain’t just a rivalry — it’s a statement. After getting cooked early in the season, Michigan’s defense has found redemption: two pick-sixes last week, eight-sack domination the week before.

If Bryce can protect the ball and Justice Haynes keeps pounding on the ground, Michigan can drag Ohio State into the mud and make it ugly — Big Ten-style. Expect Underwood to use his legs heavy, rollouts, RPOs, and maybe a trick play or two.

Because when Batman’s in survival mode, he don’t need perfection — he needs chaos.

Around the Nation

While Ann Arbor preps for a cold-weather brawl, the rest of college football’s been wild. Oregon’s #1. Florida’s #2. Texas Tech still undefeated. And Nebraska — somehow, someway — is still hanging around with playoff hopes.

It’s chaos season. Everyone’s got something to lose. And for Michigan, the only goal left is ruin Ohio State’s season and save their own.

Coach Slime’s Message

In the presser, Coach Slime was calm — too calm. Smirking, sipping his coffee like a man who already knows how the movie ends.

“We’ve been counted out before. But these kids? They don’t flinch no more. We got our Batman back, and we ready to dance.”

When he said that, the reporters looked nervous — because they’ve seen that look before. The look of a man who believes in the storm he’s built.

Final Thoughts

Ohio State’s playing for pride. Michigan’s playing for resurrection.
Bryce Underwood’s legacy starts now — you beat the Buckeyes, and you etch your name in Ann Arbor history forever.

So bundle up, turn up the 734 Watch, and lock in.
Because when that ball kicks off — it’s not just football anymore… it’s faith, grit, and glory on the line.

Looking forward to the outcome. Only one team will be bowl eligible. Slime himself been through the trenches. He needs this win

“The Game: Five Straight for the Maize & Blue”

“35 Degrees and Heaven’s Chills”

It was 35 degrees, the kind of cold where breath turns to steam and legends are carved in frost. Ann Arbor stood still — not out of silence, but reverence. The Game. Michigan versus Ohio State. The stage where hearts are broken, dynasties are defined, and heroes turn myth.

The Wolverines walked into this one hunting history — four straight over the Buckeyes, looking for five. And by the time the smoke cleared, Coach Slime’s boys had made it five in a row and sent Ohio State home for the year.

Round One: The Calm Before the Thunder

Ohio State opened sharp. Sayin had them moving early — a 72-yard drive that fizzled out at the 3-yard line, leaving a field goal to show for it. Michigan answered with a Dominic Zvada 63-yard bomb, tying it up 3-3.

The first quarter ended even. But there was something different in the air — that feeling that this wasn’t gonna be another slow grind. Bryce “Batman” Underwood looked loose. Composed. Calculating.

Then came the 2nd. Jeremiah Smith did what future first-rounders do — snagged a 4-yard TD to give the Bucks a 10-3 lead. But Bryce wasn’t blinking. He found Anthony Simpson on a 25-yard strike — smooth as silk. Tie game, 10-10.

Rod Moore picked off Julian Sayin on the next drive, and while a drop from Prieskorn cost Michigan six, they still took three and the lead. Then Derrick Moore — the beast of Ann Arbor — stripped Sayin clean, and Damon Payne scooped it to the house. The Big House erupted.

Michigan 20. Ohio State 10.

The Buckeyes tried to claw back — Inniss grabbed one before the half to make it 17-20. But when the refs threw that flag for roughing the kicker, giving Zvada a second life to hit a field goal as time expired, you could feel the tide turn.

Michigan up 23-17 at half. Coach Slime was laughing. You knew he smelled blood.

Round Two: When Batman Took Control

Underwood was surgical coming out the half. He’d already topped last week’s passing total by the 3rd quarter. Another Zvada nuke — 61 yards this time — extended Michigan’s lead to 26-17.

Ohio State tried to punch back, but Michigan’s defense wasn’t folding. The Buckeyes’ next field goal attempt got blocked. Momentum was now a living, breathing monster — all Maize, all Blue, all Slime.

🩸 Round Three: Clock-Killer Mode

Fourth quarter — C.J. Hester punched in a rushing touchdown. Two-point try? No good. But Michigan was up 32-17 with eight minutes left.

Ohio State found life with Inniss again, cutting it to 32-24. But Bryce went full Batman. Clock bleeding, crowd roaring, 3rd and 9 — he scrambled, cut right, dove for the marker. Ten yards. First down. Game over.

Coach Slime climbed the bench, waving the headset, yelling to his QB:

“If you didn’t get hurt, we’d be in the playoff. But next year? We taking it all.”

The crowd lost its mind. Michigan closed out their season with a win that means more than the record. It’s about grit. Growth. Grits and grace.

Final Thoughts — Batman Rises in the Big House

Bryce Underwood finished with 190 yards passing, 39 rushing, and a calm command that screamed He’s HIM.
CJ Hester’s touchdown sealed it. Derrick Moore was everywhere — strip sack, forced fumble, chaos engine. And Dominic Zvada? The sniper from deep — 4/4, including a 63-yard blast that echoed across the Great Lakes.

The stats were even. The heart wasn’t.
Michigan had it. Ohio State didn’t.

Five straight.
Ann Arbor belongs to Slime.
Batman’s era has begun.

734 WATCH PODCAST — “FIVE STRAIGHT: THE GAME RECAP”

Hosts: Tone, Big Reek, and Coach D with guest call-in from “Ann Arbor Batman” himself, Bryce Underwood

TONE:
“Yo, yo, yo! Welcome back to the 734 Watch, the voice of the real ones from the mitten! And I ain’t gon’ waste no time, Big Reek — FIVE STRAIGHT over the Buckeyes! Five! That’s one for every cold winter we’ve suffered through talkin’ about ‘wait till next year.’ Next year? Nah, this year is the year. Michigan 32, Ohio State 24. That’s a dub, baby!”

BIG REEK:
“Man, I’m tellin’ you — I saw Coach Slime on that sideline goin’ full preacher mode. Dude was in the zone. He climbed up on the bench, headset off, veins poppin’, yellin’ like Moses partin’ the scarlet sea. And Bryce ‘Batman’ Underwood? My boy was glidin’ through that defense like Gotham’s finest. He didn’t even need a Batmobile — just a first down to kill the clock!”

COACH D:
“Look, fellas — I don’t even think Ohio State was ready for that energy. Bryce controlled the game. That young man’s composure? Different. I’ve coached a lotta QBs in my day, but what I saw Saturday was a general — not a freshman. Every snap, every scramble — surgical. He made the right reads, and when it was time to run? He looked that linebacker dead in the eyes like, ‘You sure you wanna try me?’”

TONE:
“And bro, let’s talk Zvada. FOUR-FOR-FOUR on field goals, including a 63-yarder. Man was hittin’ bombs like Shohei Ohtani! Every time he lined up, Ohio State fans got quiet like church.”

BIG REEK:
“Yo, Zvada different! But Derrick Moore — that strip sack? C’mon, dawg. Scoop and score had me jumpin’ off my couch spillin’ wings everywhere. That’s the kinda play that breaks a team’s spirit. You could see Sayin’ on the sideline like, ‘Coach, I don’t want this smoke no more.’”

COACH D:
“Man, you know Slime told Bryce after the game, ‘If you ain’t get hurt mid-season, we’d be talkin’ playoff spots right now.’ And he right. Michigan found their rhythm too late, but you can’t deny what we see brewin’. This program? Reborn. Defense back to bullyin’, offense got a general, and the culture — pure grit.”

CALL-IN: “BRYCE UNDERWOOD”
“Man, y’all crazy. I just wanna thank Coach Slime for believin’ in me. All season long it was ups and downs, but we locked in. This team — my brothers — we built different. And next year? It’s Batman season.”

TONE:
“You heard the man! Bryce ‘Batman’ Underwood — the savior of Ann Arbor! Five straight over the Buckeyes, Coach Slime certified, and Michigan fans finally breathin’ easy again. From 3-6 to respect earned. The Big House belongs to the dark knight now. ”

OUTRO MUSIC:

“From the 734 to the world — it’s Maize. Blue. And Slime. See y’all next week for our Bowl Game Breakdown and offseason player awards special. Until then, stay blessed, stay loyal, and remember — ‘It ain’t over till Slime say it’s over.’”
