Earlier this month I was contacted by NBC Sports to do a short preview of the Rose Bowl Game with a blogger representing Illinois. I got lucky, as my Illinois counterpart was none other than Illinois alum Will Leitch from Deadspin. Those of you who know Will know that he very knowledgeable, very energetic and he also has a quick wit.

This was fun to do and the folks at NBC as well as Will were patient with me as my surgery schedule got in the way at the last minute and they were gracious in rearranging their schedules for me. There are some good things here as the whole segment was good- natured. The added benefit is that you get to see my ugly mug, I feel sorry for you people.

Here is the video link to NBC...enjoy!
