Deciphering the Sounds of Spring | S4 Ep4
The most anticipated event until August 31st, the Michigan football Spring game this Saturday. We’ll tell you what to expect. The head coach Sherrone Moore pays a visit to the Professor, and the NFL draft is coming to Motown. It could be a record amount of draftees for the Wolverines and how high does JJ McCarthy go? Business! Call Nick! We are brought to you by⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nick Hopwood and Peak Wealth Management⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: Retire With Confidence. The rundown: ➡️ Spring football! What's were looking for, the QB situation, the challenge of truly taking lessons from spring? ➡️ NCAA Hoops & a special visitor! We close out hoops talk with a dicusssion of the pain felt in Purdue, a few shots across the Bizmarck from Bloomington and a few takes from the Professor who featured Coach Sherrone Moore in his leadership class recently. ➡️ JJ is so hot right. JJ! The Pundit breaks down the history of JJ's draft stock, and how other pundits are slowly revising their projections. ➡️ The Hallmark Channel, but for men We close with a few thoughts on The Masters, the event that turns 50+ year old men like us into blurbing babies. But we love it. Go Blue! We are brought to you by⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nick Hopwood and Peak Wealth Management⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: Retire With Confidence. Call Nick!

Back after a very brief hiatus to get through the neverending news cycle of Michigan athletics! Dusty May, NCAA tournament, the Caitlin Clark, hockey's ball-busting win over Michigan State for their 28th Frozen Four and more! Call Nick! We are brought to you by⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nick Hopwood and Peak Wealth Management⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: Retire With Confidence. The rundown: ➡️ Welcome Dusty May! The boys discuss this hire, actually pretty close to The Pundit's perfect candidate, John Beilein's role, and the immediate outlook for his staff. (And a peek at the pocket change of NIL money he's starting with.) ➡️ The Men's Bracket. While Michigan isn't part of the story, a team we've been following has - we discuss our favorite moments from March Madness including Purdue's special run. ➡️ And Wow. The women's tournament has turned from an afterthought to an absolute, much-watch spectacle. Caitlin Clark is grabbing all the headlines but the Pun argues its not just about the Iowa megastar. Either way, #22 is COLD BLOODED! All the action made us forget Michigan's wildly disappointing exit. ➡️ Frozen, Again. We must touch on hockey and its between-the-legs take-down of Michigan State, a crushing blow for the Spartans and another 3-peat for a major U-M program. Go Blue! We are brought to you by⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nick Hopwood and Peak Wealth Management⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: Retire With Confidence. Call Nick!

Juwan is gone. Sherrone's coaching staff coup. Women's hoops? Hockey? Huskers? We cover it all in this ep. Business first! Call Nick! We are brought to you by⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nick Hopwood and Peak Wealth Management⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: Retire With Confidence. The rundown: ➡️ Farewell, Big Nook. Juwan Howard is fired -- The Prof was shocked, the Pundit breaks it down. We discuss what happened and what might be next for the Wolverines. ➡️ NCAA hoops. Wait, they still play this sport without Michigan? They do indeed, and the boys discuss the B1G's recent tourney woes and their hope for 2024. At least the ladies are in action Saturday in LA. ➡️ Football Staff Highs and Lows. Undeniably a coup for taking RB coach Tony Alford from Columbus, and another not-so-needed headline from "Greg." ➡️ Hockey, Huskers, Huge TV deals and more. We close with a potpourri of topics including a quick look at Michigan hockey, the stunning move by Nebraska's AD Trev Alberts and finally the huge new CFP deal. Go Blue! We are brought to you by⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nick Hopwood and Peak Wealth Management⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: Retire With Confidence. Call Nick!

Spring break is over. The Prof and The Pundit are back engaged and all business: Call Nick! We are brought to you by⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nick Hopwood and Peak Wealth Management⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: Retire With Confidence. The rundown: ➡️ The Logo. Naturally given recent events we've upgraded our logo, now clutching the CFP championship trophy. And other news! Welcome back Nick for the balance of 2024. ➡️ Football Staff & Changes. The boys take a quick jog through the team and staff changes, and Dooley shares love for our home away from home: the NFL Combine in Indianapolis. ➡️ The Rise of Women's Hoops. The Pundit breaks down seeing U2 at The Sphere in Vegas, and we discuss the (actual) rise of women's college hoops. We are brought to you by⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nick Hopwood and Peak Wealth Management⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: Retire With Confidence. Call Nick!

The boys are back! Harbaugh, Herb, and others are not. And Coach Moore takes over. Business first: Call Nick! We are brought to you by⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nick Hopwood and Peak Wealth Management⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: Retire With Confidence. The rundown: ➡️ Exit Harbaugh. The Harbaugh isn't over, the Prof argues he's not in the same class historically as Fielding Yost. The Pundit runs down what we know about Coach Moore's staff and we discuss the outlook. ➡️ Warde's Critics. The AD has taken a bunch of heat, but Clarke and Dooley are united on the notion that much of the heat is unjustified. ➡️ Hoops Disaster. We grit our teeth and discuss Juwan and the state of the basketball program. The Prof can't watch. Clarke has no short-term answers. Ugh. We are brought to you by⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nick Hopwood and Peak Wealth Management⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: Retire With Confidence. Call Nick!
