Bonds a Tiger? "Only if Gary Sheffield retires..."

Detroit Tigers radio play-by-play announcer Dan Dickerson joined me on the show yesterday, and we had a chat about the Tigers struggles, the heat Leyland and his coaches are feeling, and whether Barry Bonds is in the realm of possibility for the Tigers. Dan's always a great interview, and yesterday it was no different. Take a listen:

Keith Nichol will not return to MSU

At least that's what Spartan Mag's Paul Konyndyk thinks. Our friend Paul joined us on the show today to talk about Keith Nichol's decision to transfer from Oklahoma, and where he might end up. Since Paul has covered Keith since his freshmen year in high school, I figured he was a pretty good guy to talk to about this. Interestingly, Paul thinks that Keith will not end up at MSU, the school he originally verballed to. In his words, "it's not gonna happen".

Listen to Paul discuss where Keith might end up, why he should be wary of Michigan, and the latest on Spartan basketball and football recruits:

Michigan football recruiting update

Ok, so this was an interview from last week, but I didn't have time to post it till now...sue me. Actually, don't bother; I'm tougher to collect from than Rich Rodriguez. Bad joke, but anyways, our good friend and Grand Haven native Tom Beaver gave us a lengthy and interesting discussion about the state of Michigan football. He comments on the commitments of Kevin Newsome and Shavodrick Beaver, the implementation of the spread run/pass offense, and how running that system at Michigan could change college football and possibly the NFL (about the 6:00 mark). As always, a great interview, and if you're a MI football fan, I can't think of a better way to kill 18 minutes while you pretend to work. Enjoy:

Ekpe Udoh, and the state of Michigan Basketball

Eric Lacy from the Detroit News is always a great guest, and he and I had a lengthy talk on the show yesterday about Ekpe Udoh's transfer, how that reflects on the Michigan Basketball program, and whether John Belein will be able to pull this thing out or not. It's a great interview regardless, but if you're a fan of MI hoops, you really need to take a listen:
