The Brothers Fogel

Fun. Unrefined. Two brothers who grew up on Michigan Football and read way too much mgoblog providing the fans take on each game every week of the season.

State champs - Michigan 24, MSU 17

Another week, another win for Michigan. Ok it came against a mediocre team in year 0 of a rebuild. And it wasn’t always pretty. And the 1st quarter was downright dreadful. But it was a win and a rivalry win, and we’re one more Northwestern win away from a bowl game.

On this week's episode we dream up a path to the playoffs, discuss best strategies for surviving the Oregon game as a fan, and give thanks for a most enjoyable second half against MSU.

There are good things in the world - Illinois 21, Michigan 7

It was not another week, it’s been more like 4 weeks. And it was not another win, it’s been 2 losses. But it's still be more than 1750 days since Ohio beat us. On this week's episode, we remind ourselves of good things in the world (think apple cider, donuts, leaf piles), begrudgingly talk about where Michigan goes from here, and pick a team to root for in 2024 now that Michigan is officially out of the CFP.

A Win's a Win - Michigan 27, Minnesota 24

It wasn’t a big win, or against a very good football team, or particularly pretty, or you know fun, but it was a win - and we are technically the #10 in the country. On this week's episode, we treasure the time we get to watch Mullings and Graham, wonder if we should turn the offense into Army 2.0, and discuss what needs to happen for Michigan to go undefeated in October.

Hope Springs Eternal - Michigan 27, USC 24

The haters will hate on 32 passing yards or 9 second half yards until the final drive or a corner blitz without safety help that led to a walk-in touchdown. But haters can’t take away a win over a top-15 team - a win that somehow makes us 1-0 in the Big Ten, and a win that keeps everything on the table for the Wolverines.

On this week's episode, we toast to Kalel Mullings (the pride of MA!), rejoice in the return of real football emotions, and wonder how far you can get in 2024 without throwing the football.

Let the Orji era begin? - Michigan 28, Arkansas State 18

Another week, another win for Michigan. It wasn’t the prettiest or one that necessarily leads you to believe there will be a whole lot more to come. But it was a win, and it was a return to form for the run game, and it was a dominant performance from the starting defense, and it was a lot more fun than last weekend.

On this week's episode, we welcome the start of the Orji era, call for more Mullings carries, and pray for Loveland's shoulder. We also discuss what needs to go right for Michigan to pull the upset against USC and wonder how much of the success against Arkansas State can hold up against better teams.

1746(!) Days - Texas 31, Michigan 12

Did you know that it's been 1746 days since Ohio State beat Michigan. That's almost 5 years! That was before COVID! That was a long time ago! On this week's episode, we reflect on a crisp, sunny Saturday in Ann Arbor, marvel at the Texans' hats, and I guess talk about football and where we can find hope to turn the season around.

Peaks and Valleys - Michigan 30, Fresno State 10

It wasn't always pretty or, you know, fun, but there were moments of glory (thank you Will Johnson) and signs of hope for a more fluid offense (hello Kalel Mullings). On this week's episode, we rejoice in the return of football, debate whether it's possible to rattle Matthew McConaughey, and discuss our evolving takes on the 12-team playoff. We also preview our trip together to Ann Arbor and talk about what it will take for Michigan to knock off Texas on Saturday.

Preseason 2024: Keep the dream alive

It's been 9 months. Maybe you've forgotten the feeling. The up-in-the-night, pit-in-the-stomach waves of nerves that give way to pure bliss as Rod Moore cradles an errant Kyle McCord pass or Jalen Milroe runs straight into the best Michigan D-line of our lifetimes or Mikey Sainristil picks off Michael Penix to cue the confetti. Fear not - 16 Saturdays is back to shake off the cobwebs of lazy, drama-free Saturdays and return to the chaos and glory (or heartache) of another season.

On this episode, we look back at the edenic, legendary season that was and dream a little bit about what could still be. We hope for an answer at QB, pray for a WR to emerge, and beg to the injury demons to let us see this defense make it to Columbus fully intact. Go blue!

Bring on the 16th Saturday (or Monday) - Michigan 27, Alabama 20

Another week, another win for Michigan - and in the words of Keith Jackson, whoa nelly this was not your average win. Michigan 27, Nick Saban-led Alabama 20 in overtime at the Rose Bowl, and now there’s only one more left to etch this team’s place in immortality.
