Also on tonight's show - The Sad State of Michigan Football. Why we are DONE defending Jim Harbaugh and Don Brown after Michigan lost back-to-back games they should have won in blowout fashion.

Local Election Results:
- For the first time since 1996, Ron O'Brien will NOT be the Franklin County Prosecutor, as the six-term incumbent was ousted by former Judge G. Gary Tyack.
