Radio recap (11/19): U-M hoops talk and looking ahead to football's return to action
This post is unlocked and available for all readers
One quick plug at the top of today’s newsletter: On Tuesday, I’ll be a part of a panel alongside ESPN's John Keim and current sports editors of The Michigan Daily and The Lantern to discuss The Rivalry between Ohio State and Michigan. We'll talk the current state of Michigan-Ohio State, thoughts on the 2024 season and also dive into sports journalism and the importance of student media.
The webinar supports the annual Rivalry Edition jointly created by both student newspapers. Both Michigan and Ohio State use this as an opportunity to fundraise to support their independent journalism. You can learn more about the fundraiser and register for the webinar RIGHT HERE. Hope to see y'all there!
