Coming up on the show in just a little bit,

we're going to get our first check into the season with Michigan men's lacrosse coach Kevin Conner.

Yeah, I know it doesn't look like lacrosse season, but it is in fact the beginning of the lacrosse season.

We're also going to get to the Michigan Recruiting Insider podcast for this week.

The guys discussed the Michigan football staff's in-state recruiting efforts.

The guys discussed 2027 linebacker recruiting. They also cover 2027 quarterback recruiting as well. And Michigan has a commitment in that class that they are trying to hold on to. So you'll hear from the guys talking about that coming up in the Michigan Recruiting Insider podcast, Sam Webb, Bryce, Marrett, Steve Lorenz later on this hour and into the 7 o'clock hour here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTK. In the 8 o'clock hour, we're going to have the top dog of the week with the Humane Society of Here on Valios. We do each and every Thursday at around 805 and then around 825 a day late and what is it, 24 hours and 20 minutes after it's normally scheduled. We're going to go inside the huddle with Michael Spath at around 825 this morning. He had a scheduling conflict yesterday. EA had his scheduling conflict Tuesday. So we had Eric Edelson on with us yesterday in the 8 o'clock hour. We're going to have Michael Spath on with us this morning at around 825. and then we will have the M. Goeblah Roundtable with Brian Cook, Craig Ross, and Seth Fisher in the 9 o'clock hour here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050.com.
