Welcome back to another episode of the Wolverine.com podcast here. I am Anthony Broom,

joined today by former Michigan tight end and now emerging broadcaster, Jake Butt. Jake, welcome

back to the show.

I like that. It's got a good ring to it, Anthony.

Well, let's start with that.

Emerging broadcaster, analyst.

Analyst. Speaker of football. Well, let's start with that. Emerging broadcaster, analyst. Analyst.

Speaker of football.

Well, let's start with that.

And last time we spoke to you, you were kind of, you know, it was around the time of Michigan was in the college football playoff, had just won the Big Ten.

You know, bouncing around, podcast to podcast, doing your thing.

Fast forward to today, you just called a football game on

Big Ten Network over the weekend. So talk to us about what that was like and how that opportunity

came to be. They had reached out to me. It had been super fluid with the Big Ten Network in

terms of what an opportunity might look like. Also been talking to other networks. But they reached out and said, hey, you want to do color for the spring game? Analyst for the spring game. At first, I was like, I don't know, man. I don't know. It's a skill. Like being an analyst is a very, very hard thing to do. You've seen some guys try and fail. At the NFL level was pretty obvious,

some guys that stepped up to bat. So I commend them for the courage because that it really,

really was hard, but it felt really natural to me last week and still got a lot of room to improve.

But for the first game, I was pretty proud of how it sounded and going back and watching my film.

Went really well.

Got a lot of great feedback from the fans and felt there was timely, you know, facts and

color that was added throughout the game.

So I think we can really run this thing up and the sky's the limit the way I see it.
