Welcome on into another edition of the Wolverine podcast.

It is Thursday, July 18th, 2024.

As it stands now, I believe we have 44 days until Michigan football kicks off the 2024 season.

Anthony Broom here along with Chris Ballast, Clayton Safie off this week.

And Chris, I mean, in a lot of ways, this feels like, I won't say the last week

of summer, but we're in it next week. We go to Indy for Big Ten Media Days. We've got an exciting

event that we'll announce here in a few minutes. But once we go to Indy, it's always sort of like

the first day of school, so to speak. We're all sitting in the media line with our

backpacks on, and we just had our donut or our muffin at the hotel. And it's kind of, like I said,

it's the unofficial start to the year. So, of course, fall camp will start on July 31st. We start next

week. Chris, welcome back. How's the summer been? I guess I'm amazing., man. It's been nice to relax a little bit. First off, loving the playoff beard. All right. It's a great look. So, yeah, that's awesome. And now, yeah, we're going to be right there trying to fight over quotes that everybody gets, right? It's not like you can get, used to be able to sit at tables and when

people would disperse to other tables, you'd have a chance for maybe a one-on-one with a coach or a player. Those days are long gone. Now everybody's fighting over, you know, how am I going to, what am I going to write and what's the angle going to be on these quotes? And you're going to have some guys manipulating them and not us obviously but it's always fun at the same time it gets

earlier and earlier so we still have some guys manipulating them and not us, obviously. But it's always fun.

At the same time, it gets earlier and earlier.

So we still have, what, five weeks before football starts once we go to Big Ten Media Day.

So it'll be fun.

I'm looking forward to it, especially with the three-day format now and with so many more teams.

There are going to be so many different angles with the Big Ten teams coming in from out west.

So looking forward to it, though.

Yeah, we will talk about just a quick little Big Ten Media Days preview here in a little bit.

I'll talk about Shiro Moore, Macari, Page, Donovan, Edwards, Max Brettison as Michigan's representatives.

And I want to pick your brain a little bit on some of the best non-Michigan storylines before we hit Indianapolis.
