We are going to get back to Michigan football in the next segment.

We are going to give away passes to the Bud Light Fictors Lounge at Joe's Garage over the course of the remainder of the morning.

And, of course, over the remainder of the week, as we will have our first trip inside the lounge coming up this Saturday.

3.30 is our start time.

7.30 is the kickoff for Michigan versus New Mexico. And Ms. and I were talking about the weather forecast for the week. And this is... Oh, Cheskiss. I don't... This forecast is the anti-why we actually don't mind night games for the first game. Because usually I don't mind a night game for the first game because it's usually like 85 or 90 degrees here. Yeah.

But right now, the forecast for Saturday calls for a high of 70 degrees, mostly sunny, and the lows around 50.

So the temperature will drop.

You'll need to bring your hoodie to the game, but it looks like it's going to be epically perfect on Saturday.

And the weather, except for Thursday all week, looks insanely good. Oh, my goodness, yes. I don't know how I'm, I wish I could squeeze in golf. There's no way. I look at the weather and I go, can I just stop everything else that I'm doing and just find a way to go to the golf course? Or for that matter, it's like you kind of, you're looking. I wish the tigers were home this week because these are days except for Thursday, which they're off on Thursday anyway. This forecast for this week is, mm, yeah, it is so good. Tailgate day is just going to be, just going to be outstanding. Yeah, tell me when you're starting your tailgates, everybody. Tweet me at Michigan Insider, you can email me, studio at WTK.com. When are you starting up your tailgates? where are you going to be? I don't know when I'm heading out there on Saturday, but I'm going to do some walking around. Although if I keep feeling the way that I am, I'll be more of a limping around, but I'm definitely going to be walking around, checking out the sites on Saturday. And I don't love night games against teams that are not all that significant. I don't love night games for games that are not all that significant. Yeah. I don't love night games for games that are not really that important, but they are what they are. But I do love because of our job and where we are starting at 3.30, really a little before that. And I'm going to try to walk around a little bit and also watch the Texas Ohio State game. But it's the first game. It's our big family reunion and everybody comes back together. So it's cool that it's a night game that I get an opportunity to walk around and go say hello to a bunch of people. So there is that. Yeah. So I said we'll get back to Michigan football coming up in the next segment, which we will. But you were at the Tigers game yesterday. It was affiliate day. So you went down there with Bobby and Madison and Brian. And what a wild game, because I texted you at the beginning, have fun, and then I was going to text you after they got the run early in the game. They were up one nothing early. Like, all right, good start. I didn't because I was in the middle of doing something. And then I blinked and they were down six to one. It was going to be one of those games because it's baseball. They had one five in a row. They'd been playing good ball. And it's not about, I know you had a lot of fun except for the final result of the game. They battled back. They took a 7-6 lead. The problem is the, we asked the question last week, is what we saw out of Jack Flaherty, the good Jack Flaherty is sustainable. And the answer looks like, no. It looks like you can get that out of them one out of three or one out of every four times. But the rest of the time, he's going to have, how do we, but the big inning. Let's just call it what it is, the beginning.

Yeah.

Because, was it, the fifth inning? He gave up nothing. Yeah, first inning. No outs, but he gave up a bunch of runs and. Yeah, first inning was one, two, three. Second inning, I think he had a base. Yeah. But then the third inning is when six runs. Six runs. six runs came up.

And then he gave up those six runs.

Then the Tigers were able to come back,

take a seven, six lead,

and then Plarity's still in the game. Yeah. And he gives up two more runs. And they're down eight, seven, and then, yeah, they lose the game. So we talk about pitching and we talk about going to this postseason and the pitching and what you can count on, what you think you can count on.

Obviously, the guy that's going tonight is a guy that you can count on. Yep. Scoble pitches tonight. If you stay up late, more power to you. The game is in Sacramento. But 940 coverage start. 10-10 is the game start time. So we'll have it here on the big 1050 WTK. Yeah, 10.05, first page 940, yeah.

So it's just, you know, it's so... start time so we'll have it here on the big 1050 WTK. Yeah, 10.05 first page 940, yeah.

So it's just, you know, it's a, so he's a guy you can count on. Casey Majes, you think you can count on, and then you're trying to figure out the rest of it now. And the old guys they traded for, look like they're okay for now, but, you know, it's not solidified yet that you can rely on those guys.

But it went from Jack Flair to being a guy in April and May, you can rely on to a guy that you know he's going to give you a good outing once every three, four, or five outings. And you just cannot have that when you get to the postseason. I don't know what is the difference between a year. Maybe it's just age. and it could be, you know, sometimes it's just age.

Maybe people catch up to you.

But whatever the difference between a year maybe it's just age and it could be you know sometimes it's just age maybe people catch up to you but whatever the difference between last year and this year has not been

good and obviously they um the pitching is something that really needs to keep their eye on the most but
