Bowl season is finally underway and we are inching closer to the matchup between Michigan and Alabama on January 1 at 1 o'clock at Camping World Stadium.

The game, Michigan v. Alabama, Verbo Citrus Bowl. We'll get to that and a whole lot more 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.

Guys that seem to want it, you know, more than, you know,

the average guy.

You know, there's not a group that's looking to be mediocre.

Once again, here's John Jansen.

Welcome back and happy holidays.

Couldn't be any more excited to talk today about the,

well, we're going to talk a little bit about the bowl game between Alabama and Michigan,

but we're also going to talk a lot of recruiting.

We're going to have Coach Harbaugh stopped by,

Director of Recruiting Matt Dudec again as well,

because National Signing Day was yesterday.

And today we finally get a chance to talk about this recruiting class,

what we're losing in terms of graduating seniors,

guys going to the pros, how we're going to replace that talent talent and continue to build the depth of talent here in Ann Arbor.

But before we get there, I want to thank one of our sponsors.

We've been telling you for weeks about the newest hotel location in Ann Arbor, even hotels, which has something for everyone.

Enjoy organic meals at their restaurant, get the rest you need to accomplish more,

or stay active with mounted fitness walls in each room and a best in-class athletic studio.
