with the chap on-site fuel and count. And then a kickoff here on the Big 1050 WTK online at the big 1050.com. And we know Michigan is spending the week without head coach Sharon Moore. And the impact that Biff Pogh talked about that a lot in his media availability yesterday. Biff was terrific. That media availability yesterday.

0:39.4

We don't get a lot.

0:40.1

We don't have a lot of chances to catch up with Biff and to really get to, we have not had a lot of those opportunities as a fan base to get to know him and to get to, kind of to get to meet him a little bit. And, you know, a lot of the behind the scenes people at Michigan football, really any of those sports, they don't, we don't get to meet them all that much, you know, as far as on the air or, you know, behind, you know, on a microphone and on camera, that kind of thing.
