And we are back, folks, here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTCA online at the big 1050.com, Sam Webb,

Mr. Ira Wynchraub on the other side.

Iden joined again by John Eustacan and Bakes.

Obviously, we focus on Michigan here mostly when we talk college football.

We were just talking about the noon, well, the one o'clock press conference, but the noon release,

I would presume, if they send it to the team, we don't get a noon release or around

noon release of the punishment for Michigan, for a sign gate.

The focus then could shift once you get that totally on the season.

But I am curious your thoughts on some other teams in the Big Ten, namely Michigan State.

Jonathan Smith came in with some buzz, some fanfare, some, some,

predictions that, hey, he was going to come in and really light a spark for the Sparties.

I was out in Vegas, Bakes, and I didn't see any spark around the Sparties. They were kind of down there with the

known names, with the lack of interest and intrigue, like no buzz at all. And I got to wondering,

could it be that Jonathan Smith, I mean, has the, the bloom already falling off the rose there?

And now you're already seeing reports about, hey, if something happens with Jonathan Smith,

Jimbo Fisher would might be on the short list.

I've already started to see names.

I'm curious what you think of Michigan State, what you think of Jonathan Smith's tenure

at Michigan State and how you think he's going to fare?

I'm in the who knows category.

I'd say that unlike Mel Tucker, you hired a guy who had some success, not a ton, at Oregon State, of course.

They're currently ranked, I'm looking it up right now.
