0:10.7

You're not a special guest anymore because I know you too well. But two great Wolverines,

0:15.9

two guys with more enthusiasm for the program, I think, when they were there. And since then,

0:20.1

than just about anybody I've ever come across. So have you guys run across each other? Do you guys know each other at all? Oh, yeah. I remember done from back in the day. Absolutely. I was going to say a long time ago, Aaron and I haven't talked in a long time. But, you know, there is, there's, you know, there people talk about and they hear about the kinship amongst michigan football players it is

0:38.7

true and it could be it could be at one reunion it could be at several reunions but i'm sure

0:45.0

aaron will say the same thing you get to meet guys that are decades younger than you now or maybe

0:49.7

decades older than you and you still feel that connection yeah i. I was out in San Diego and Jamal Williams was our Pro Bowl nose guard

delimant and he said, he goes, I've never said all the universe, he went to Oklahoma State.

1:03.0

He said up and he says when Les Miles was a coach, he would be talking about Michigan to the team.

1:08.0

And he goes, they're now playing with some Michigan guys. You guys have more school pride than any school I've ever met in my life. And then even with the Browns and different people, like living in Ohio now, if I hear the word in Michigan, I look just to see what they're saying. You know what I mean? So it's definitely about a pride in the brotherhood and Michigan man. Yeah, and Bill Parcells, who Doug Skeen played for at New England, said the same thing. He said, man, these guys have more pride in their school. And he tried to get those Michigan guys on his team, the Corwin Browns, the Doug Skeens. You know, some of those fringe guys, Skeen says he wasn't a great athlete, and I probably agree with him on that, but he was a great football player. Yeah. And go ahead. That's all it matters. He might disagree with that ballast because now we might not be playing football anymore, but when we play golf, you know, I still can figure stuff out athletically. Yes. Yeah, you can. There's no question about it. Yeah, he shoots for his number, 72. And it's interesting when we were setting up the time, Aaron Shea says, how about 336? And all you guys with your numbers, man, John Colossar has a couple 40s in his number. I don't want to tell people where, because otherwise people will be calling him and bothering him. But it's amazing the pride that you have did you ever use when the uh you for
