This is a big week for some former Michigan Wolverine football players. Draft Week is finally here.

Thursday night. We'll find out where some of these players are going. And today we will talk to Ben

Bredesen to find out where he's been, what he's been doing, and what he expects to happen this weekend.

We'll talk to him next on In the Trenches.

Let's go in the trenches with John Jansen. The former Wolverines captain in Michigan

Sports Hall of Famer will take you inside the locker room with players and coaches. Once again,

here's John Jansen. Welcome back, friends. As I promised, we'll get to Ben Bredesen in just a few minutes,

but some business to take care of before that. First and foremost, I want to thank Brian

Bush for the tireless work that he has put into the podcast. He's not going to be with us for the

next three months. We're hoping that he will make a triumphant return.

We'll see if we can get him running out of the tunnel to start the original podcast

or the podcast come mid-July when he is able to return.

But for now, you're stuck with me. And I hope that I can continue to entertain

to bring you as much information as I can of what is going on at the University of Michigan,

in the athletic department, and around the state of Michigan. As I mentioned last week, the Michigan

Sports Hall of Fame released their voting ballot for the class of 2020.

You can go online to the Michigan State Hall of Fame website, which is mshof.org backslash ballot and cast your vote. There are five Wolverines on the ballot this year,

Derek Alexander, Jake Long, Jenny Ritter, Chris Weber, and Drew Henson. So best of luck to all

five of them, and please make sure that you spend as many times or vote as many times

as you possibly can and see if we can get some more Wolverines in the Michigan Sports Hall of

Fame. There has been a lot of bad news over the past few months, and all of us are looking

for a slight glimmer of hope.
