Greetings, everyone. Happy Monday night, December 18th, here on the Wolverine.com YouTube channel

live here for the first time in a few weeks on a Monday. Getting back on schedule, push back an hour

tonight for some media availability as Rose Bowl prep is fully underway for Michigan football

as they prepare for Alabama Crimson Tide. Two-man booth tonight, Anthony Broom here with our Chris Ballas. And Chris, it feels like forever since you and I were on a show together. I know it. It's not without Anthony or without Clay or without me, whatever. Man, I've been sick for a month. I'm just happy to be back here and been up and down. And so ready to talk Rose Bowl, man, ready to get back into football. It's amazing. The season ended, what, just two or three weeks ago or something like that? And it feels like months. So as long as that season seemed to take. And it's not over yet, man. We are one of the fortunate few that get to cover a playoff game. That's right. All the travel accommodations are made. The credentials are in.

The three of us will be there. So excited for that. We will talk about Rose Bowl Prep,

was able to get into Schembeckler Hall today and talk to Michigan players. We'll talk to

coordinators on Tuesday. Some more players later on this week. So we will hit on that.

Michigan held its awards banquet

last night. So Chris and I are going to take the opportunity to hand out our own Michigan football

awards. So we'll do that as well. Talk a little bit of hoops and then take some questions at the end and

get out of here and a jiff. But before we do that, I want to shout out. As you can see me wearing

the crewneck sweatshirt here.

Shout out our friends over at homefield apparel.com.

They've been amazing, incredible partners for us throughout.
