Wolverine TV podcast: Michigan football's biggest summer storyline
Michigan football heads into the summer with as much hype as any season in program history, coming off a pair of Big Ten titles and trips to the College Football Playoff. Nobody around these parts is wishing their summers away, but folks are chomping at the bit for the season to come.
On Monday night’s live show on The Wolverine YouTube channel, Anthony Broome and guest host Isaiah Hole discussed the biggest storyline heading into the summer. Both agreed that finding a way to stay hungry is what will define the next several months for Michigan.
“How do you move forward? How do you press on, how do you get better?” Hole said. “Going from 2006 to 2007, because that was the last time that Michigan had this level of expectations, right?
“Where it’s, ‘You have to make it to the national championship game.’ Otherwise, it’s a failure. What did they do straight out of the gates in 2007? The worst imaginable thing. So I certainly have that in the back of my mind a little bit. So it’s a matter of how do you press on, how do you press forward?
“The good news is the non-conference schedule theoretically sets up really well, and as long as they keep their focus, they’re in just such a good spot entering summer.”

Broome continued: “The continuity has always been fascinating to me. When you have that number of guys coming back and you have this level of the coaching staff from last year mostly intact, all of your key pieces are mostly intact.
“[The thought that they] could to come out and just kind of feel like they could skate through it, I think there’s, there’s a human element where in the back of your mind, as you said, you’re always kind of worried that the other shoe might drop, especially as a Michigan fan, because even when times are good, it always feels like there might be chaos or disaster lurking around the corner.
“But I think the biggest task that this program and this coaching staff have right now is finding ways to keep yourself hungry, to keep yourself motivated. And I think given the fact that bowl games were take them or leave them. Now the last two years you’ve been in the college football playoff and you’ve played two of your worst games of the last two years in on the biggest stage, that is motivation.”
