00:02 - I don't think it's good in terms of the negativity
00:05 surrounding the program.
00:07 And when you look at it from the gambling perspective
00:09 in terms of big picture, how does this affect Michigan
00:12 in terms of their two biggest games
00:14 left on the regular season?
00:16 They go to Happy Valley in a couple of weeks
00:18 against Penn State and they go obviously
00:20 to face off against Ohio State in Ann Arbor.
00:23 If they're gonna make it to the Big Ten Championship game,
00:25 they're gonna need to win both of those ball games.
00:28 How do the players respond?
00:29 It's not Jim Harbaugh, it's not the university,
00:32 but when this negativity surrounds the program, Kev,
00:35 and they have to answer questions repeatedly
00:38 about Connor Stallions and what transpired,
00:41 it takes away from what they've actually accomplished
00:44 on the football field and that's the concern
00:46 for Michigan right now, big picture.
00:49 - Yeah, you know, to me, I think the notion
00:51 is it now or never potentially.
00:53 You know, the ins and outs and what'll come out of this,
00:55 you better read on that than I do.
00:57 But in terms of what we've got going on right now,
01:00 pro title favorites, we're the Heisman favorite.
01:02 JJ's going to the NFL next year
01:04 and his coach might not be far behind.
01:06 The only people that don't think there's a chance
01:08 that happens are the insane Michigan folks.
01:10 What do you mean he was never leaving?
01:11 I don't know why he spends hours and minutes,
01:13 never, he's fine, they can do whatever they want.
01:15 And the more that comes out, the more Jim's gonna go,
01:19 hey, listen, good luck with that though, huh?
01:21 Enjoy the national title, but I'm gonna go coach
01:23 the Panthers or whatever it might be.
01:26 - There is a very real chance that this Michigan season
01:28 is the best chance they will have
01:30 at crossing the finish line for maybe the next decade.
