Tuesday: graham couch
               Lansing State Journal
Born and bred in Lansing, Graham Couch returned to his hometown in September 2012 to be the LSJ's sports columnist. This former Sexton Big Red is the only co-host still in his athletic prime, and is carefully slotted between Griffith and Rexrode to provide some actual personality amid six brutal hours of talk radio.
