| 0:49.7 | I am joined today, as always, by the Athletics senior writer Chris Vanini, fresh off a Michigan Daily shutout win over the state news of Michigan State. |
| 1:00.8 | Chris, we are still in speaking terms, but I am very excited for you to celebrate the Michigan Daily's win in that newspaper touch football rivalry game. |
| 1:10.7 | Yeah, we'll get to it. |
| 1:11.7 | I know we made a wager last week. |
| 1:13.5 | Sure did. |
| 1:14.6 | Sure did. |
