Good morning, Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Happy Thursday, everybody.

It is Thursday, July 31st, 2025.

This is the Michigan Insider.

This is the Big 1050 WTK online at the big 1050.com.

It has been 270 days, 2070 days and counting since Ohio State last beat Michigan on the football field. And we've got a lot to get to on the show this morning, including, of course, the countdown to the Michigan football season, which we'll get to in just a little bit here on the show. We'll also, of course, it's Thursday, which means we will get to the top dog of the week

with the Humane Society of Huron Valley.

We'll also get to the MGOBlog roundtable

in the 9 o'clock hour here on the Michigan Insider

on the Big 1050WTCA online at the big 1050.com.

So it looks like the rain may be almost done maybe in the area.

We had some really wicked.

Probably not.

Probably a couple more hours where the rain is going to linger around in town.

But the hardest of the rain hopefully is gone.

It has been pouring out there overnight into the morning.

A lot of standing water.

So please be careful wherever you are going this morning.

A lot of extra water on the roads and

if you have to do any walking outside hopefully it slowed down a little bit because man it was

it is supposed to dry out and stop raining by maybe on and off but by midday is supposed to stop raining and then we'll keep our fingers crossed. It looks like not hot temperatures, but comfortable temperatures for the next couple of days, next few days. In fact, through the weekend, not supposed to get above like low 80 degrees. It looks like a really nice few days coming up here in southeast Michigan. So a lot to get to on the show this morning here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTKA online at the Big 1050.com. First, a couple of news and notes from we'll talk Tigers and we'll get to the countdown in just a little bit. In fact, the countdown is going to take a while this morning so it may take the next couple of segments. But first, how about them tigers? Fourth win in a row, they complete their series sweep over the Arizona Diamondbacks with a seven to two victory yesterday afternoon at Comerica Park. It was one one heading into the fifth, then big innings. Three in the fifth, three in the sixth, and the tigers pull away and win the game seven to two. They give up a run of the ninth. But let's start with Chris Paddock, who the Tigers just traded for. He wins six innings. He gave up three hits, one run, five strikeouts, no walks. And we talked about him being an innings eater. If he can do that, he can give up one run, if he can give you quality starts,
