| 0:00.0 | Welcome back inside the Inarber studios of the Big 1050 WTCA online at the big 1050.com. |
| 0:07.2 | So on this day every year, at least now for the last few years, I'm kind of sitting back. |
| 0:13.0 | Usually it's around this time. |
| 0:14.3 | I just kind of sit back and reflect because six years ago today, it was in the, I guess, |
| 0:20.4 | the 11 a.m. Eastern time hour there were big |
| 0:23.5 | east basketball games big east tournament basketball games going on in New York because i |
| 0:28.9 | believe their first games tipped off that day at 11 a.m. Maybe it was the Atlantic 10 maybe they |
| 0:33.3 | both were on the on the floor and Michigan was getting ready they were warming up because it was actually the second day of the Big Ten men's basketball |

| 1:23.5 | But I don't know, every year on this day, I just kind of have that moment of, and I think it'll hit it'll even a little harder tonight because you're taking us down to LCA. We're going to the Pistons game. We're going to be at a sporting event where six years ago they took sporting events away from us. I mean, rightfully so, but still it was, so six years ago, Sam, the wild, six years of past. |
| 1:44.7 | Yeah, man, I forgot about that. |
| 1:46.4 | I forgot they were actually on the, you're right. |
