Welcome to the debut of the Meet at Midfield subscriber-only edition of The Bucket Problem. On this week's show, Dan (aka Thicc Stauskas) joins for our first edition of the Thicc Six. We took six listener questions — that's brand synergy, folks — covering the following topics:

1. Who we'd want as U-M out-of-nowhere breakout player.
2. The freshmen who'll burn their redshirts.
3. Expectations for the first-year defensive backs.
4. Whether Ohio State fans can be sated by anything that occurs against Notre Dame.
5. How long Jim Harbaugh will remain at Michigan.
6. The "fair" way to split up an expanded Big Ten.

We also give our quick thoughts on Colorado State and Dan provides his season prediction.

Thank you for subscribing. Welcome to football season.
