Bench Mason. I don't know that much more needs to be said. He's got a great personality. He's a

fan favorite, and he is doing so much on campus, utilizing everything Michigan has to offer

on the field, off the field in the classroom. We'll talk to him in just a few minutes here 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.

A lot of people looked at this a little bit of adversity that we face

as an opportunity to get better.

And they've honestly handled it very professionally which

I think it's going to benefit us going forward this season. Once again, here's John Jansen.

Welcome back friends. As we have every time that we've come on here on in the trenches, we've

got news. It seems to break every minute, every day. And so we've got NCAA news, we've got

national news, we've got Big Ten news. There is just so much that we need to get to. We also have,

as I said in the open, Ben Mason will be coming up, who is a tremendous football player. He's

played a number of different positions,

offensively and defensively, but he's also been very successful in the classroom.

And he kind of goes into detail in regards to how Michigan and the support staff,

everybody involved in the program, has helped him accomplish that.

So we'll get a chance to talk to him in just a few minutes,

but I now want to get to the play-by-play voice of Michigan basketball.

My little buddy, who I introduced him a couple of weeks ago as my little buddy,

and I know it's been a fan favorite in the head offices there in Leerfield, IMG. The brains of the operation has taken to my little buddy. And that is Brian Bush.
