Good morning and Arbor, Michigan.

Happy Wednesday, everybody.

It's a hump day.

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2025.

This is the Michigan insider.

This is the Big 1050.

WTCA online at the big 1050.com.

It has been 2,153 days, 2,153 days, and counting since Ohio State last beat Michigan

on the football field.

But coming up on the show this morning, we're going to hear in a little bit for Michigan

women's soccer coach, Jane Klein, amazingly enough.

We have come to the end of the regular season for the Michigan women's soccer team at home this Sunday, the home finale.

So the weather is nice in particular, but go check out support Jen Klein squad.

Their last women's home soccer game of the season is coming up Sunday.

And you'll hear from her coming up in a little bit.

We also had our Tuesday with the Michigan football team last night. And we heard from Max Bredesen and Blake Frazier on the offensive side of the ball, Zee Barry, Derek Moore, Trey Williams on the defensive side of the ball. So we'll bring some of that to you this morning here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTCA online at the big 1050.com. Then it's going to be the Michigan football offensive breakdown with Al Borges in the 7 o'clock hour inside the huddle with Michael Spath starting at around 805. The midweek peak was Steve Clark for the 9 o'clock hour. So this busy Wednesday on this beat Sparty week on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTK. So the weather around here is looking a little, you know, it's been a little wet, a little windy. It's going to be, it looks like pretty wet for a lot of the day. But most, more importantly, we're looking ahead to the forecast coming up on Saturday, up in East Lansing. And the highs are going to be in the low to mid 50s. And then obviously that's going to be for tailgating weather. And then by the time we get the game time, the temperature is going to start to drop. And the lows on Saturday are going to be in the mid-to-upper-30s, maybe low-40s during the game. But it's going to be a little chilly. But it looks pretty clear on Saturday. And that obviously seems to be the most important part. Wanted to be clear on Saturday for Michigan, Michigan State, the battle for the Paul Bunyan trophy. And if you listen to DeNard over the last many weeks, he's hinted at it. He talked about it on Monday. We heard it on OT. We've heard every player that's ever been asked about comparing Michigan's rivalry with Michigan State and Michigan's rivalry with Ohio State. And they always talk about the cheap shots and the dirty play that comes from Michigan State. We know they're trying to break DeNard's neck when he was a player at Michigan. So it's actually pretty funny when wide receiver Nick Marsh from MSU says, quote, just trying to avoid stuff like that, the altercation. And then, you know, just knowing that they're going to try to start something, it's not fuel for us.

Playing them is enough fuel for us.

I, the tunnel was started by Sparty.

The altercation last year was started by Sparty.

I'm just saying, like, if you ought to know who was trying to break, um, was a Panasook had that dirty hit a couple years ago. You had the, um, you obviously have them trying to break the Nard's neck. We have a lot of examples. I maybe they have a few, but I haven't heard them give specifics. They just like to point fingers. We actually have the specifics and we point to the videotape and talk about it.

So I do think it's a little funny, but if that's how they want to play it, great. Let's keep it clean. That would be nice. Clean on the field. Clean after the game. And maybe no Hitler's signage on the scoreboards before the game, Sparty. Can you do that? I know the last time you couldn't avoid that,

the last time Michigan and Michigan State played up in East Lansing.
