There’s no football on this week; so, in this special episode of Touchdown and Ties, we like to call this segment “The Bye-Week.” Similar to “The Off-Season” once football season is officially over, we’ll be diving into other exciting events around the sports world. In today’s episode, Daddy and I recap the Australian Open where Elena Rybakina has her maiden victory down under and wins her second Grand Slam title, and Carlos Alcaraz accomplishes his career slam. We then move on to Michigan basketball who is having a hell of a season and has come out BIG this past week, taking down No. 5 Nebraska and ‘lil bro, aka, No.7 Michigan State on the road.

This was a must win for the Lions if they wanted to keep their playoff hopes alive. And in true Lions fashion, they did just that. In a dominating 44-30 win, the Lions showed up when they needed to. From great offensive play calling, efficient play in all three phases, and record tying performances, the Lions season is still very much alive. Whether you’re a Lions fan, a Lions hater (😉), or just like to watch/talk good football, we hope you enjoyed this conversion.&nbsp;</p><p>Be sure to follow us wherever you listen to podcasts (Youtube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts) and on our social media (Tiktok, Instagram and Facebook) @ touchdownandties so you never miss an update from us.

This was a must win for the Lions if they wanted to keep their playoff hopes alive. And in true Lions fashion, they did just that. In a dominating 44-30 win, the Lions showed up when they needed to. From great offensive play calling, efficient play in all three phases, and record tying performances, the Lions season is still very much alive.
