Calling All Wolverines: Tuning in to Michigan Football on the Radio
Ah, college football season. Crisp air, Saturday tailgates, and the dulcet tones of Jim Harbaugh barking motivational sayings from the sidelines. But what if you can't make it to the Big House, or, let's be honest, those brats just aren't calling your name this week? Fear not, fellow maize and blue warriors, because there's a way to catch every play, every touchdown, every questionable referee call – from the comfort of your couch (or, you know, that air-conditioned office you swear you have to be at).
Your Ticket to the Wolverines Radio Network
That's right, we're talking about the glorious world of Michigan Football on the radio. Here's your cheat sheet to becoming a radio day extraordinaire:
Station Showdown: Where to Catch the Game
- The Flagship: WWJ 950 AM in Detroit is the heart and soul of the Michigan Sports Network. This is ground zero for all things Wolverines football.
- Fan Favorites: There's a whole network of affiliate stations across the state, bringing the game to your ears no matter where you are in Michigan. Check out stations like WXYT-FM 97.1 or WQBX 104.9.
- Beyond the Borders: Can't be in Michigan? No problem! The Varsity Network app lets you listen live from anywhere. There's even a presence on Sirius Satellite Radio for those superfans on the go.
Bonus Round: Gearing Up for Game Day
- Pregame Pump-Up: Most stations will have a pregame show to get you hyped for kickoff. Stock up on snacks, dust off your lucky jersey, and get ready to yell at the radio (we all do it).
- Postgame Pandemonium: Don't miss the postgame show to dissect every play, every call, and every questionable fashion choice on the sidelines.
