Hey y'all, it's Lainey Wilson.

St. Jude gives kids with cancer the chance they deserve.

Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food.

But we can't help these kids without you.

This holiday helps St. Jude find more cures for more children.

Good morning, Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Happy Friday, everybody.

T-G-I-F.

It is Friday, November 21st, 2025.

This is the Michigan Insider.

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

Friday before Michigan football game, so we've got a lot to get to, including behind enemy lines with Alejandro Zaniga, previewing Maryland. We're going to have our OT sessions with Vans Bedford and Al Borges. All that leading up to the 8 o'clock hour. At around 815, we're going to be joined this morning by John E. Bacon. Bakes has agreed to join us about an hour early this morning.

And it's actually really early for him because he, I believe, is in the central time zone.

But we are going to be joined by John at around 815 this morning because in the 9 o'clock hour in studio,

we have our one-on-one conversation with Ward manual.

So Sam's going to have Ward in our TV studio.

You're going to hear it right here on the Big 1050 WTKA online at the big 1050.com.

So we are excited to have Ward coming in studio for the 9 o'clock hour.

Obviously going to talk about private money in the Big Ten or maybe lack thereof in Michigan

stance on this.

And in fact, I completely and totally agree with Michigan stance on that.
