00:00 - I don't think it's good in terms of the negativity
00:02 surrounding the program and when you look at it
00:05 from the gambling perspective in terms of big picture,
00:07 how does this affect Michigan in terms of their
00:10 two biggest games left on the regular season?
00:13 They go to Happy Valley in a couple of weeks
00:15 against Penn State and they go obviously to face off
00:18 against Ohio State in Ann Arbor.
00:20 If they're gonna make it to the Big Ten Championship game,
00:22 they're gonna need to win both of those ball games.
00:25 How do the players respond?
00:26 It's not Jim Harbaugh, it's not the university,
00:29 but when this negativity surrounds the program, Kev,
00:32 and they have to answer questions repeatedly
00:35 about Connor Stallions and what transpired,
00:38 it takes away from what they've actually accomplished
00:41 on the football field and that's the concern
00:43 for Michigan right now, big picture.
00:46 - You know, to me, I think the notion
00:48 is it's now or never potentially.
00:50 You know, the ins and outs and what'll come out of this,
00:52 you better read on that than I do.
00:54 But in terms of what we've got going on right now,
00:57 no title favorites, but a Heisman favorite.
00:59 JJ's going to the NFL next year
01:01 and his coach might not be far behind.
01:03 The only people that don't think there's a chance
01:05 that happens are the insane Michigan folks.
01:07 What do you mean he was never leaving?
01:08 I don't know why he spends hours and minutes,
01:10 never, it's fine, make him do what you want.
01:12 And the more that comes out, the more Jim's gonna go,
01:16 hey, listen, good luck with that though, huh?
01:18 Enjoy the national title, but I'm gonna go coach
01:20 the Panthers or whatever it might be.
01:23 There's a very real chance that this Michigan season
01:25 is the best chance they will have at crossing the finish line for maybe the next decade.
