In this special Bonus Episode of Conversations we go on campus to Ann Arbor with University of Michigan senior, Andrew Livingston, to get the vibe of what's happening in town in advance of this week's UM-MSU game. Livingston, a molecular biology major (yes, you read that right!), carved a bit of time out of his busy schedule to share how he found his way onto the Michigan State University campus in East Lansing for his first two years of undergraduate studies before transferring to UM. The son of Jim Livingston (heard here in Episode 10), Andrew has been a sports fan for years. His entree was the 2006 Detroit Tigers and a weekly trip to 7-11 with his dad and older brother for a newspaper, player pin, and doughnut. In addition to Major League Baseball, Andrew's favorite sports are college football and basketball. In this episode he provides his take on who's got the inside track for the college football playoff as well as how he sees the B1G men's basketball season unfolding. A perennial contender in his Fantasy Football League he's hopeful Josh Jacobs and Jalen Hurts can help overcome the recent injury to Ja'marr Chase.
Because of scheduling quirks and the pandemic, this will be Andrew's first UM-MSU game on either campus. He provides a bit of insight into what the college student tailgate looks like. (Hint: The food is not likely to be grilled.) His wish list of stadiums to visit include the MLB classics (Wrigley Field, Yankee Stadium, and Dodger Stadium) and B1G road games at Camp Randall Stadium (Wisconsin), Beaver Stadium (Penn State), and the Rose Bowl (UCLA).
