Welcome back to the Wolverine.com podcast TV version.

This is Chris Ballas with me, Doug Skeen.

Michigan's all big 10 offensive linemen former.

If you had any eligibility left, you'd be frothing at the mouth this week.

But I do believe you're in the New York, England Patriots, Ring of Honor.

Is that right? No, not supposed to. Oh, okay. Well, I got confused. Okay, well, he did play with Patriots, did play for Bill Parcell, so he knows what he's talking about. I will say this. None of us, however, got our predictions right this year when it came to Michigan football, and we couldn't be happier. I predicted seven and five. You predicted worse than that. I figured Jim Harbaugh needed to get a swagger back to have a chance for this program to get back to where it needed to be and to have a good year. He's done that. I give him credit. I understand that you don't like to lose to Michigan State. It was controversial, whatever. It's one loss. and now there's two teams left standing, basically, in the East with a chance.

Those are tough places to play.

Those are three games that I, quite frankly, didn't think Michigan was going to win at the

beginning of this season.

But clearly, the vibe and the chemistry and the program has changed, changed for the better, hats off

to Jim Harbaugh and everybody that's made that happen down there.

And now here we are six days away from playing for a Big Ten East Championship and a chance

to go to that conference title game and do something Michigan hasn't done in the better

part of 20 years.

So please, please, let's make it happen. We just want to make it happen. Somehow it was a whole

Michigan football base of fans that have been on edge and waiting for this for many, many years.

And now there's a chance. And you can't get there until you give yourself a chance,
