00:00 Would it change if Jim Harbaugh was on the sidelines is your Sharon score different than your Jim Harbaugh score?
00:07 Yes
00:09 Okay, I think that's a very thought-provoking question Chris. Why I mean you said that pretty pretty confidently
00:16 yeah, I mean it's like
00:19 You know if Alabama goes out and plays without Nick Saban if Georgia goes out and plays without Kirby smart
00:24 I think and the players have talked about a JJ McCarthy
00:28 There was an adjustment period not having Jim Harbaugh there. I mean and we talked about it when Jim I
00:33 Mean dude, there's so many examples when Jim first took the job at Michigan
00:37 Ripping off his coat on the sidelines throwing his clipboard
00:41 You know Sharon Moore talking about how he doesn't talk to the refs the same way Jim Harbaugh does like there is an energy
00:49 That's infectious among the team in a phenomenal way
00:54 When Harbaugh is there on the sidelines and when you don't have that
00:57 You've got to try to make up for in other ways. And so if Jim Harbaugh was on the sideline
01:01 With everything else that's going on
01:04 Yeah, I probably change. Let me think I
01:07 Probably add another
01:10 Ten points in favor of Michigan based on based on what my current score prediction is that so so yeah
01:16 I think it's a I think it's worth at least ten points in Michigan's favor
01:21 How about you know, I I agree if Jim was there I
01:25 Have it fairly close right now, but it would definitely the margin would be a little wider
01:30 What do you what do you think his presence is worth in terms of points? I?
01:34 Like what you just said about ten. I mean seven to ten probably I think that's a great number
01:39 That's I hadn't thought of it that way but to hear here. It doesn't sound crazy
01:46 Maybe maybe it's because I just have faith in the team and the leaders on the field and Sherone Moore also like I
01:52 That's a lot though. That's that's a lot
01:56 I feel like what CJ Frazier is saying is is kind of where I'm at
02:00 JJ McCarthy is a different this is not to take away anything from Sharon Moore because I think he's great
02:05 But Jim Harbaugh was a quarterback who played at the University of Michigan who played in the NFL. He knows the position
02:12 well, JJ seems to be a different quarterback when Jim Harbaugh is on the sidelines and so I think
02:17 That's probably where the biggest difference comes from you
02:20 Maybe you get another touchdown pass from JJ that you wouldn't have gotten otherwise. So yeah, I think it means a lot
02:26 I think it would it would certainly change my score prediction
02:29 I would increase it by seven to ten points and
02:31 It's part of the reason why I'm predicting this to be a a much closer game than I thought it was gonna be when we were
02:37 Going into the season. I mean going into the season
02:39 I was convinced it was gonna be more of what we saw the previous two years for a couple reasons one
02:45 Ohio State is worse to Michigan is better
02:49 So when you look at those two things, I thought it was another 20 plus point win coming for Michigan at home
02:55 But now you have all the other extenuating circumstances happening outside of the program now
03:01 You're down a couple of staff members. You're down Jim Harbaugh and
03:04 You know, you got maybe some lingering injuries out there
03:07 The game's gonna be a little bit closer than I thought it was gonna be
