| 0:17.5 | cat murkker now what I'm talking about they over the podcast Columbus will like us what they may or may not like is two gentlemen |
| 0:24.8 | coming into town. I think you'll like the first guy, Will Howard from Kansas State. |
| 0:28.6 | I think people will love that that we got a quarterback in town today and Seth McLaughlin the center from Alabama. |
| 0:34.0 | Now people might not like that because he was the guy who made a lot of bad snaps in that |
| 0:39.2 | Michigan game. But first let's talk with they're both here today in Columbus and Merck you know a little bit about will Howard the family correct? |
| 0:46.0 | That's correct. Yep. We have a mutual friend. So I've kind of been in the inner circle if you will or just outside the inner circle. |
| 0:55.9 | You know kind of updating me on his visit here today. |

| 2:04.0 | you remember the player Ryan Joe Hanson in his first year Todd Richards had him playing on the |
| 2:07.6 | fourth line but you knew the kid was going to be a stud so my own thought was if he's your future number one center or the future of the |
