    Aug 14 2025

    As the Michigan football season creeps closer and closer with kickoff just 17 days away, Tony and Andrew are back for another episode of "Hail Yes" during the dog days of camp.

For now, it looks like Underwood continues to lead the way.

    Then after a quick break, Tony and Andrew talk about why these next few days are so important for Michigan football's roster battles and which units fans should really lock in on. Plus, what to make of the alleged gambling situation surrounding Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer, who the Wolverines will face in Week 2.
