Welcome back to the Ballastin Show. This is a happy show. This is post Ohio State. This is a signing spotlight show, apparently. We got the wrong graphics up, but we got Doug Skeen, who's got, he said, maybe one or two snaps left in him, right? So looking like Dilbert today. I like those glasses. Yeah, yeah, you're welcome.

Tell us why you committed to Michigan.

Well, I've recommitted to Michigan because after 35 years of playing there,

I've found there's a glitch in the eligibility thing.

And I think I'm going to have two more years, Ballas.

So I'm looking forward to getting back in there competing for the offensive line, left guard spot, which I really love. Yep.

Can you play right tackle?

Yeah, sure. I can switch over. Yeah, I can do that.

That's me and me.

You know, I could probably give you two snaps of any position except center. Because I never really snapped the ball,

but I'm excited to recommit to Michigan. And of course, that's my school, was my school, is my school,

will be my school. And although at times I may be critical of the performances over a year like

this, deep down inside, Ballast um anybody that knows me way deep

down inside there's a stamped block in in my heart so i'm looking forward to going back yeah yeah no

question uh we need your height and weight at current height and weight please for uh for your profile

no you don't want to do that? That's okay.

Let's get to it, man. This is an unbelievable day. I got to tell you something, Skeen. We go into there. It wasn't the funeral march. I noted this. It wasn't the funeral march of the Rich Rodriguez years. You went down there after that Northwestern game. You said, and I wrote, there's a puncher's chance here if things go well. and I gave the keys to the game. And it was forcing some turnovers. It was shortening the game. It was not turning the ball over, which didn't go so well. But it was rattling Will Howard. And guess what? Everything lined up. So it was like in the first quarter, I'm watching the time as much as anything.

And a couple things, holding to Ohio State to a field goal on their first drive, I thought was critical.

And then I'm watching in the second quarter.

And when Michigan goes up and I'm looking at the rushing yardage and it's like 69 to 6 or something like that.

And I texted Janssen and Karsh in the in the booth. And I said,ansen and Karsh in the booth and I said,

these look like the same guys I've seen the last three years in terms of Ohio State.
