All right, let's get right to the people.

0:01.8

So we've asked a question.

0:02.8

I know we've spent some time this week, you know, dropping a bomb on Jonathan Smith.

0:07.0

And in no way is this conversation that.

0:09.1

This is different.

0:10.5

This is, you know the guy isn't terrible, but are you sure he's the guy to win championships?

0:17.8

Not nine or ten games, not make the playoff, not have a shiny, you know,

0:23.5

recruiting toy with, and I, to win what I assume Michigan fans believe is their standard is

0:29.5

championships, right? Is, are you sure Sharon Moore is that guy? It's a question. I'm not mad if you

0:35.6

say yes. I don't think you should be mad if

0:38.2

people say I have some hesitation. That's where we're at. And what I'm not going to do is,

0:46.8

you know, give Sharon a scapegoat by saying, well, he plays a freshman QB. They're playing a

0:52.5

freshman QB because they forcibly made their quarterback room terrible,

0:55.9

paid a freshman $15 million, and this is the road they went down.

1:00.0

You don't get to run away from that.

1:02.3

Because if you didn't want to play, Bryce, you could have paid him and brought in a QB ready to play.

1:08.4

You have the financial wherewithal.

1:27.9

Larry Ellison and his wife, look it up. Because I'm quite sure if you decided you were going to go with, what was it, Jaden Davis? Oh, he stinks. No, I'm saying, but also, wait, so what did I pay all this money for, for this kid to hold a clipboard? But the point is you could have gotten a one year. Like if Michigan... Well, I think they did, and they went out and got the Fresno State quarterback. Mikey Keene sucked at UCF and Fresno. Mike, he was the perfect. He was good enough to hold a spot for three games. He was a patsy. Right. He was going to be there for three games. You know what they could have done if they wanted? I'll tell you what they could have done. This is how much money they have. They could have gone out and got Carson back.

1:46.9

They could have him if they wanted? I'll tell you what they could have. This is how much money they have.

1:44.4

They could have gone out and got Carson Beck. They could have him playing quarterback this year. They could have gone out and got Zakarius Branch. They could have done whatever they wanted. They chose this life. You know what? And I think part of it is more that he didn't build the right roster. You know what, Mike? you've earned this. That's why I said. There were two portals since Underwood got there. Figure it out. And it's not hard to get good wide receivers. Even my bum-ass school did it. Where were they to go get an Amari Kelly? Where were they to? They could have done it. So they chose this life. Amari Kelly would be all big ten if he went to Michigan.
