Hello, everyone. Happy Monday, May 18th, 2026 here on the Wolverine. If you're watching live on our

YouTube channel, live Monday nights at 6 p.m. We're here every week. Or if you're listening to After the

fact, watching after the fact, welcome in. Anthony Broom here with Chris Bales, Clayton Safie,

like we are every week. And I'll be honest, it's a bit of a dry spell right now when it comes to Michigan News.

But the crux of the show tonight, first off, you guys are going to control where it goes

because we have a lot of time for questions.

So if you're watching live, use the chat feature, use that super chat feature to move

yourself to the front of the line.

Like every week when we do this, we also have questions from the board to take.

But guys, I'll bring you here in a second, but the title of tonight's show is which

championship did you enjoy more?

Was it the 2023 football title or the 2026?

And we'll we'll get into that here after we take care of some housekeeping.

But I'll just say the genesis of that is,

I know it's going to be a debate we're probably all having the rest of our lives, just because they are so close together and meant a lot in different ways. But I was just kind of out and about running some errands

over the weekend. And I stopped into a local, we don't do free ads here, but I'll just say I stopped

into a local location of a very prominent sports apparel store.

And the stuff from Michigan's national title was down to 50% off, which to me is, okay,

we're about a month and a half removed from the national title.

Maybe everyone's kind of sliding back into normalcy.

Clayton declared it summer over the weekend, so everyone's sliding into summer.

So now it might be a good time to revisit it, because in the heat of the moment, you might have a different opinion than you would have, you know, hours after the game or right after the game or weeks removed from the game, about a month and a half removed from it. So I wanted to get into that tonight. Michigan bat, speaking of basketball, they've also set their European trip, which we'll hit on here later on.
