Welcome back to another edition of the Ballas and Skeen show.

This is not live.

We are recording live in front of not a studio audience, but with me, I'm Chris Ballas, with me,

former Michigan All Big Ten offensive lineman Doug Skeen, five-time Big Ten champion, played for Bill Parcells for anybody who's been living

under Iraq and hasn't watched this show before.

And along with some other Big Ten guys, you played with Harlan Barnett.

I forgot about that.

And Corwin Brown?

Corwin Brown, Bernie Leggett, Buster Stanley, a lot of Michigan and Michigan State guys

out there in New England when we were there with the Patriots. So it was good. Why'd Bill Parcells like the Michigan guys? Because they cared because they weren't there. They were just, you know, guys, they're one of the things he used to say is, you know, one thing you'd always know about Michigan guys, they love the program and they, and they were team guys.

Yeah.

And that doesn't mean that other guys from other programs weren't, but that was the one thing that he would always say to us Michigan guys.

And we were the only guys in practice ballast.

This happened usually once or twice a season in training camp.

We had to sing the victors for the rest of the for the rest of the fans and the new england

patriot football team because no one cared about anybody else's fight songs that's pretty cool

half the guys didn't even know the the words that are fight songs but right we're

of course we knew ours and we sang it for the team every year and sing it proudly that's right

so and probably badly if we're being honest of Of course. Yes. All right. First things

first. Let's get to a read here. I want to talk about one of our sponsors game time that I've

used now twice. I was actually right now coming to you folks from an hotel in Austin, Texas,

because I'm stuck here for another day. I'm down here for a wedding of a good friend's son, and I decided I was going to go to the Texas game, and I'm like, all right, these tickets are probably going to be crazy, expensive, right? But I knew I could get the best deal from Game Time. I've got the Game Time app because they are a sponsor, but I can promise you that it is the best thing that I have ever done in terms of getting secondary market tickets.
