And we are back, folks, here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTCA online at the big 1050.com.

Sam Webb, Mr. Ira Weintrop on the other side.

We'll stick with the basketball topic or a basketball conversation.

And look at these Detroit Pistons.

You know, Ira brought up the topic yesterday, I believe.

Maybe it was last week when you first mentioned it and said,

you remember a few years back when Detroit seemed like it was in sports purgatory

where basically all the teams were bad,

especially if you're a Michigan fan.

All your pro teams were in the cellar, and Michigan football was bad.

Michigan basketball was really the only team that was competing for anything of a note.

And so it's like, man, these are, these are really, really dark times.

Well, you look around now and, you know, obviously Michigan football has been in recent years,

top of the heap.

The lions are more relevant than they've been in any of our most of our lifetime.

Everybody's lifetime, Sam.

Well, you know, John Bacon might be.

Craig Ross.

Maybe even Craig, but he's the one that would be pushing it.

Yeah.

He's an exception, right?

The Tigers were on an epic run.
