Analyst Doug Skene, a former Michigan and NFL (New England Patriots) offensive lineman, HawkeyeReport.com’s Tom Kakert, On3.com’s Ivan Maisel and TheWolverine.com recruiting guru E.J. Holland will also join Simonson, whose Huge Show is heard daily across Michigan.
On3.com launched this year under the leadership of Shannon Terry and his team, the founders and creators of Rivals.com (acquired by Yahoo! Sports in 2007) and 247Sports (acquired by CBS in 2016).
On3.com debuted Aug. 16 with the goal of becoming the preeminent source for college sports coverage and recruiting news, TheWolverine.com joined Terry and Co. Nov. 1 and has already set records for page views and sign-ups in a month.
“Over the next several months, we will be launching various aspects and features of what will be the next-generation college sports media and data company,” CEO Terry said Aug. 16. “Today is just the beginning.”
Just as head coach Jim Harbaugh believes a 42-27 win over Ohio State and Saturday’s game with Iowa is a new beginning for his program. Asked by Borton if how the program prepared for Ohio State — year-round — could prepare the roster for other games, he paused.
“That’s a great question … just in this next challenge, this next task, the one we just prepared for, we knew that was coming,” he said. “We knew that that team was scheduled, was going to be played on November 27, and we had to prepare for it.
“Iowa, we didn’t know that one was coming. So … the way it does help us, we’ve got to understand, that’s the way we’ve got to prepare for this one. The same way we prepared for Ohio State mentally, physically, spiritually.
“In every way, we’re going to have to do that this week in order to be successful because we planned for Ohio State and understood and thought they would be the best opponent on our schedule, and now it’s Iowa. Iowa’s been ranked No. 2; they’ve had a tremendous season. Now you’re watching what they do week-in and week-out and have a clear understanding of what they are, who they are. It’s going to take the same kind of preparation.
“So how does that help us moving forward? Just understanding that’s the level—mentally, physically, spiritually. Have to prepare for a great team.”
