And we are back, folks, here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050WTCA online at the big 1050.com, Sam Webb, Mr. I rewind, tribe on the other side and joining us to see does every single week, bottom of 8 o'clock hour, to reflect on all things in the world of the maize and booze. The mayor of Michigan, Twitter, our good friend Scott Bell. Scott, good morning. How are you? Happy to be here as always. Happy to have you, my friend.

After. good friend Scott Bell. Scott, good morning. How are you? Happy to be here as always.

Happy to have you, my friend. After, from a row perspective, it is, I can't say that I've been to a ton of Michigan road games,

but even of the ones that I've watched, that game, the vibe, the atmosphere was unlike any that I've

witnessed from a Michigan.

I mean, Michigan traveled from everywhere, fans from California, from Chicago, from flying

up from Dallas.

I mean, of course, the DMV Wolverines were there, but Scott, Michigan fans traveled far and wide to that game on Saturday like it was an NCAA tournament game.

Yeah, I think it's great experience for both teams, and I think the traveling and the hype and, I mean, what the tickets were going on the secondary market, I think just really shows the excitement around this team, around this program, around this season.

And it's pretty incredible to see just the strides that's happened in the last couple of years with Dusty May in the program.

So obviously the end result wasn't what you're looking for as a

Michigan fan, but I think if you step back and look at just the excitement around that game,

look at where this program is now, and hopefully view this Saturday sort of as a learning experience

and for this team going forward.

I think there's a whole lot of positives that can still come from this.

Yeah, so getting specific into your reaction to that game,

just your biggest takeaways from, from that 68, 63

loss to the blue devils. Um, it's the biggest takeaways. Positive and negatives. I, I think if

you look at this game and, and see how much Michigan struggled on offense, understanding how good of a team Duke is,

I think in a really weird way, it's pretty promising to see that, hey, this was a one-point

game after the final media timeout going into the backstretch, and Duke out played Michigan

sort of in that last four minutes.
