Good morning, Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Happy Tuesday, everybody.

It is Tuesday, August 19th, 2025.

This is the Michigan Insider.

This is the Big 1050.

WTKA online at the big 1050.com.

It has been 2089 days since Ohio State last beat Michigan on the football field.

2089 and counting.

And we are going to get to the countdown out of the Michigan football season in just a little bit to get you ready for the Michigan football season in this last week of Michigan fall camp. We're going to hear from linebackers coach Brian Jean-Marie. We're going to hear from tight ends coach Steve Casullo. They talk about their position groups and more. Some really good stuff from both of those coaches. No Sam for the rest of the week and into next week Sam is on family time. It's got some family things to take care of.

So I've got my guy, Ms. on the other side of the glass with me for the next many days. So, Ms. Good morning. How are you, my friend? Good morning. And we are so back. Can I get a Zaya? We're so bad. I know. It's great to have you back. It's great to be back.

I know you are out a little ill,

so it's good to see that you are back

and good to go that you are back and

good to go as we are inching closer to the start of the Michigan football season. Unfortunately, not I'll in, like the cool way. That would be fun. It was fun to be illen. I don't think I've been illen in a long time. I'm way too old to be illen. I'm too, I honestly,

I'd even say it, but...

Yeah, I was going to say,

I'm maybe a little too Caucasian to say that I'm...

I'm definitely too old to be ill in. I'm too, I'm probably too old to even say it. Yeah, I was going to say I'm maybe a little too Caucasian to say that I'm I'm going to be too old to say to this stage. All right, so around 745, we will get to a recruiting roundup. Bryce Maritch is going to join us this morning. He's also going to join us tomorrow morning as well as Sam discussed in the show yesterday. Today is Decision Day for Savion Heiter, the number one running back in the country out of Mineral, Virginia.

And he has Ohio State, Georgia, but mainly Tennessee and Michigan as his finalists.

And it says a lot.

I didn't look this morning, but it says a lot that at 9 o'clock last night or 10 o'clock last night when I last checked,

there was not a single, on 247 sports, there was not a single crystal ball prediction made for him. He's been playing it really close to the vest. So I think people know that it's down to these two, but there's not been a lot of leakage from his camp. I guess he had told, and this is what Sam said yesterday, that the coaches are going to find out either right before his announcement at 1115 or they might find out live at 1115.
