    Michigan & the Big 10 Ballin’ Out at the Dance PLUS a Spring Football Practice Breakdown
    Mar 27 2026
    On the latest episode of The Blue Print with Devin Gardner and Jake Butt, the guys are getting pumped about Michigan dancing their way into the Sweet 16! Jake explains why he’d bet his life savings on Dusty May winning a title at some point and Devin contemplates the Big 10 becoming the nation’s preeminent basketball conference. Then, we’re talking football as Jake brings back his intel from Wolverines Spring practice. It was a good day for the defense which unfortunately means it wasn’t a great day for Bryce Underwood – does that raise any cause for concern or is it all just part of the process?. And, if you’ve ever wondered what the difference is between real energy and “dirty energy” around a college football program, this is the pod for you. We’ll dive into all of it on this edition of The Blue Print!

  • Michigan Hoops’ Special Season & Recapping a Scouting Combine that we Hated and Loved

    Michigan Hoops’ Special Season & Recapping a Scouting Combine that we Hated and Loved
    Mar 5 2026
    On the latest episode of The Blue Print, Devin Gardner and Jake Butt show some love to the Michigan men’s basketball team on winning the Big 10 regular season title! How has Dusty May managed to get this level of buy-in from such a star-laden team? And while conquering the regular season crown is nice, is this only step 1 to securing a much BIGGER crown? Then, we’re breaking down last week’s NFL scouting combine, one which you might say we had a love/hate relationship with. Why did we hate it? Because so many dang Buckeyes tore it up. Why did we love it? Because it means they aren’t playing for the Buckeyes anymore! We also share our thoughts on Fernando Mendoza’s decision not to throw, and we tell you why we’re not getting swept up in the Drew Allar hype.
