What BBN said about it

  1. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorMichigan's offense is struggling, and Yahoo Sports says Kyle Whittingham's explanation for starting Bryce Underwood only raises more questions.

  2. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorSo into the Hot Seat he goes. I'm calling it three-alarm, right below the surface of the sun.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWhy is the chair on fire? Is that the school color?

  4. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorIt is a cartoon fire, Vera. The heat comes from the offense, and the coach's answer made it worse.

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFan question. Can a quarterback cool a coach down just by playing well?

  6. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorYes. Move the ball, score points, and then the explanation stops mattering. That is how you cool it.

  7. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSimple. Do the football part better.

  8. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd the helmets look lovely, so I'm rating the heat a lukewarm.
