WTKA Roundtable 11/12/2026: The Emperor's New Headset

Things Discussed:

• Whit's done. Basis: Revolutions Podcast.
• Why is Michigan a blue blood? The fans. What we can do is come to the UCLA game and cheer. We've done this before. The banner exists because of it. Tell the team you love them; that's all there is left.
• Whittingham's errors: Didn't have a Michigan person around, and delegates everything, which works if you have Jay Hill, and not if you have Jason Beck.
• Getting the most expensive guy isn't working out (Beck, Wink, BU), maybe we should get the 10th guy.
• Beck probably knew he was riding a great QB, which was why it took so much to get him out of there.
• M keeps changing bases, guys don't know what they're doing. No understanding of how to chip, no understanding from RBs in setting up their blocks. Beck has no idea how to iterate, stick & move.
• Even Al Borges saw spring ball and was like "I dunno guys, this won't work."
• Hoops: Yaxel going to be an all-pro! Deferred last year because his teammates were better at Michigan than Golden State.
• Marquette: omigod was that kid a headband! Glad we played him because he seemed to unlock Cadeau.
• Thiam really did look like the defensive anchor they need him to be.
• Need to have all five involved in rebounding. Big boards last night from Roddy, Cadeau, Trey.
• WBB vs UConn: They're national championship caliber. Need 3 stars and with Delfosse ready they're there.
• For the person in the chat: here's Patrick's album of otters.
