Good morning, Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Happy Thursday, everybody.

It is Thursday, September 4th, 2025.

This is the Michigan Insider.

September 3rd, excuse me.

Tomorrow's the 4th.

No, my calendar's wrong. I made a mistake. I have to update my weekly counter. Somehow I missed the date. It is September 4th. I was right the first time. Let's start this over. Good morning. It is Thursday, September 4th, 2025. This is the Michigan insider. This is the Big 1050. WTKA. Online at the big 1050.com. when you don't update your notes and you know the date is correct, you got to go with

when you know is correct.

It is September 4th.

It is Thursday.

And we are excited for this busy Thursday as we get you ready for Michigan versus

Oklahoma Saturday night down in Norman, Oklahoma.

It has been 2,105 days since Ohio State last beat Michigan on the football field.

2,105 days and counting to get you ready for this weekend's biggest college football game on the calendar.

We have Ron Bellamy, Michigan wide receivers coach coming up for you in a little bit.

We have Lou Esposito, Michigan defensive line coach coming up for you in a little bit as well. And then we're going to get to the Michigan football defensive breakdown with Vans Bedford in the 7 o'clock hour here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050WTCA online at the big 1050.com. It's a Thursday, which means we'll get to the top dog of the week in the 8 o'clock hour, the Mgo blog roundtable in the 9 o'clock hour. But yeah, it's an NFL kickoff Thursday. You can tell the NFL is kicking off because, well, Thursday is always a little bit of a quieter day on the majorly baseball schedule. That dramatically changes this week. There are six games in baseball tonight. There are a few W. What, three WMBA games tonight.

And two of those start at 10 o'clock at night, so they're on fairly late. But nobody likes to go head to head for the most part with the National Football League. I'm almost surprised that there's only, that there isn't just one game tonight in baseball, and that is in Toronto. But in fact, the Blue Jays don't play tonight. but Dallas of Philadelphia opens the NFL season tonight, kickoff at 820 on NBC.

You can listen to it right here starting at 7 o'clock on the Big 1050 WTK football is back.

It was really interesting listening to the end of the overnight show, the guy that we take over when his show wraps up.

And obviously, we jump on at 6 o'clock here on the big 1050 WTK and he's football is back he's not wrong football games when he goes back

on the year there will be an NFL game under our belts and we'll be talking Dallas and

Philadelphia and obviously exciting to have the NFL season kick back off this weekend is
