Has this show gotten better yet? It seems it really went to crap for a while

MGoCoolStoryBro: Caleb lived on the same floor as me in Bursley Freshman year, awesome to see him living out his dream. I remember watching his play with the rest of the guys from my floor at the Walgreen Center on North Campus.

Barrett Foa backwards is Boba Fett, er something like that.

Have you ever seen them in the same room together? Just sayin . . .

I didn't realize Barrett Foa was a Michigan guy. That's cool. Figures that the nerd would be the UM grad
And, of course, Mark Harmon, leading man for the original NCIS and the 1986 People Sexiest Man Alive is the son of Michigan legend, Tom Harmon.
EDIT: Another (state of) Michigan connection is that Linda Hunt (Hetty) attended Interlochen Academy. I grew up in Atlanta, but had several friends attend the Interlochen summer music programs (along with others like Brevard, Tanglewood, etc.).

Michigan has been turning out LOTS of performance folks the past few decades. Its reputation as a performance school is routinely in the top 5, with NYU, Yale, Carnegie Mellon, and Northwestern.
Michigan's rep is based on performers AND folks behind the scenes, including Jeffrey Seller, a leading Broadway producer (Rent, Avenue Q, Hamilton).

I know Caleb!

Joey Bottaboom, OSU Grad, Guest Stars as "The Toilet"

Is this the show starring Tom Harmon's son?

Mark Harmon is the lead on NCIS, the original series in the franchise. NCIS: LA is the first spin-off, I believe. There is also now NCIS: New Orleans.
NCIS is itself a spin-off of JAG.

Another Michigan connection:
Caleb Foote's dad was UM All-American and Super Bowl Champion LB Larry Foote

for those not familiar this is sarcasm

I watch games with Caleb at the Parlor in West Hollywood on Saturdays. His best bud Will Ropp (another Michigan grad) co-stars in Ben Affleck's next movie, The Way Back.
