Happy New Year! We here at "Current Sports with Al Martin" are hoping you had a better start to 2018 than the Michigan Wolverines. To kick off the new year, Al and engineer Ian Hawley discuss the meltdown by Jim Harbaugh and Co. in the Outback Bowl against South Carolina. Michigan's loss closed the book on a season that ended winless against teams with a winning record. Al is joined by DeShaun Tate to discuss college basketball, including Michigan State's recent promotion to the No. 1 overall ranking.
