Episode 5 is chock full of goodness.

Mark and Jason recap Oakland’s exhibition against Tennessee State, debate whether there’s anything to actually worry about, introduce Underreaction Theater and discover that credentials apparently do not guarantee access to a buffet.

Then, Oakland Director of Broadcasting Neal Ruhl joins the show for a wide-ranging conversation about his career, his “pinch me, I’m doing this” moment, the changing world of college sports broadcasting and plenty more. We also somehow come dangerously close to our first lawsuit.

Finally, we go Behind Enemy Lines with University of Michigan beat writers to get the scouting report on the Wolverines before Oakland heads to Ann Arbor.
