Good morning, Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Happy Friday, everybody.

T-G-I-F.

It is Friday, January 23rd, 2026.

This is the Michigan Insider.

This is the Big 1050, WTCACA online at the big 1050.com.

A lot to get to here on the show this morning, here on the Michigan Insider.

And so looking forward to a really fun edition of the show for you.

Coming up on the show, of course, in the 8 o'clock hour,

we're going to have a live edition of the Michigan Basketball Insider podcast with Sam Webb and Tim McCormick. Timmy Mack is going to join us live here on the show. And so excited about that for a live edition as we get ready for a big basketball matchup tonight here at the Chrysler Center. John Eubaken joins us for the 9 o'clock hour here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTCA online at the big 1050.com. I don't need to be the one to tell you, but I'll tell you anyway. It's cold outside. It is really cold outside. And so plan accordingly. Really stay indoors. And when I mean stay indoors, stay indoors at home or, well, at the Chrysler Center.

And if you're not planning on going to the Chrysler Center, either tonight and or Sunday,

but you'd like to join us at the Chrysler Center this weekend for the men's basketball game

tonight against Ohio State and the Trayburg Jersey retirement ceremony or Sunday against USC and the jersey retirement ceremony for Caitlin Flaherty to number three is going up in the rafters this weekend.

We will be giving away a pair of tickets to tonight's game and we'll be giving away a pair of tickets to Sunday's game.

Both of those giveaways coming up a little bit later on here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTCA online at the big 1050.com.
