Welcome back to another edition of the Wolverine.com podcast. We were with Doug Skeen, Michigan's former All-Big Ten offensive lineman who played in the bowl game in Florida. One, I believe.

0:12.2

Yeah, it's just a beautiful. Yep. Yeah, but he's got the MVP trophy to show for it. Where is it? Do you guys like pass it among yourselves, the, the offensive linemen from that team? Or what? Who's got it now? Yeah, I think there are multiple trophies. And here's an unknown fact.

0:27.3

They only gave that trophy to the starting five offensive linemen. And I technically didn't start that game.

0:33.3

So around this room here, you can see behind me. I just have pictures of my classmates and a couple of linemates and my championship rings there behind me, but my helmet.

0:45.6

But I do not have a copy of that trophy, but I can tell you that ever it does.

0:50.2

And it's somewhere in the South Florida compound down there in the lower keys amongst all

0:55.3

airplanes and military jets, I just nerded totally out ballast. It was one of the coolest

1:41.2

experiences in my life getting to tour that ship,

1:45.0

and people don't understand that haven't been up close to one, just how massive they are.

1:51.5

So that was really cool experience for me and several of my teammates. And then the second

1:56.1

memory from that trip off the field was just being around Jacksonville and horsing around with my

2:01.6

buddies, fellow winemen and seeing the social side of Jacksonville, Florida for a week,

2:07.4

and then finishing that week out there on the coastline. We moved out. We were in some

2:13.8

our seaside resort. And after the game that night i remember uh several dudes in the
