Welcome to MGoBlue Podcasts -- the new podcast home of Michigan Athletics. Here at MGoBlue Podcasts, you'll find several recurring series: In the Trenches (an in-depth look at the Wolverines' football program), Defend the Block (interviews, game recaps and more with Michigan men's and women's basketball), and Conqu'ring Heroes (a one-stop show for the latest on every Michigan program). MGoBlue Podcasts are produced by the Michigan Sports Network from LEARFIELD, in partnership with Michigan Athletics.
Jon and Brian catch up on some of the newsworthy items from the last few days, like the NCAA's safety standards for competition (11:30), the cancellation of the Rose Parade (16:00), and some preseason recognition for Kwity Paye and Ambry Thomas (23:00). Then, fullback Ben Mason joins the show to discuss the origin of his nickname "Bench" (28:00), how the Wolverines have handled this difficult offseason (31:00), his position flexibility and where his focus is now (33:30), how he balances football with schoolwork (41:40), and the status of his hair (47:00).
