- 0:26Speaker 1: open fall camp just in a couple of days. But
- 0:30Speaker 1: today we're going to be looking back at Big ten
- 0:32Speaker 1: Media Days. Got back from Las Vegas on Friday, and
- 0:35Speaker 1: there was still a lot of stuff to talk about,
- 0:37Speaker 1: starting with all the stuff that the Michigan Wolverines were
- 0:41Speaker 1: talking about. The Wolverines talked a bunch about Ohio State.
- 0:44Speaker 1: Today's show, you're going to get to hear a bunch
- 0:46Speaker 1: from Sharon Moore, the head coach of the Wolverines. We've
- 0:48Speaker 1: got to spend forty five minutes with him, and there
- 0:50Speaker 1: were a bunch of questions about Ohio States. You're going
- 0:52Speaker 1: to hear about all about that, But the first you
- 0:56Speaker 1: got to hear from a different more it would be
- 0:57Speaker 1: Derek Moore, the defensive end. You're hearing from him because
- 1:00Speaker 1: Sharon Moore is gonna be talking about what he said
- 1:02Speaker 1: in just a minute. But Derek Moore was asked about
- 1:05Speaker 1: Ohio State's national championship. If you watched the Ohio State
- 1:08Speaker 1: win the national championship and his thoughts on that.
- 1:13Speaker 2: Uh, first, I'd like to you know, I could congratulate
- 1:17Speaker 2: them on a win, but you know, you know, it's
- 1:21Speaker 2: not a real win if you if you only beat us,
- 1:23Speaker 2: So you know, but I'm gonna congratulate them when they win.
- 1:27Speaker 2: But this year is gonna be different.
- 1:29Speaker 1: All right. So that was Derek Moore's thoughts. Now, what
- 1:32Speaker 1: were Sharon Moore's thoughts on Derek Morris thoughts?
- 1:37Speaker 3: I mean, try to try to clickbait the players. Uh,
- 1:41Speaker 3: they won, They won the national title. They were the
- 1:44Speaker 3: best team at the end of the year. So I
- 1:46Speaker 3: give them all the credit that they give. They were
- 1:48Speaker 3: well deserving. They played really well and obviously won they
- 1:51Speaker 3: won it all, So you know, kudos to them.
- 1:54Speaker 1: This is one of those things that seemed like an
- 1:56Speaker 1: enormous deal in the wake of the Ohio State Michigan game,
- 1:59Speaker 1: and then I think kind of actually got forgotten about
- 2:01Speaker 1: after that, but we remember there was the flag planting
- 2:04Speaker 1: thing and the teams pushing and shoving and then people
- 2:07Speaker 1: got pepper sprayed. It was a whole thing after that game.
- 2:11Speaker 1: So Searan Moore was asked about just, you know, sort of, hey,
- 2:14Speaker 1: that happened. What do you guys do you guys have
- 2:17Speaker 1: different plans to make sure that doesn't happen again. He
- 2:21Speaker 1: addressed that and then mentioned that they have a new
- 2:23Speaker 1: tradition coming at the end of games.
- 2:26Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, we definitely addressed it, and there'll be
- 2:28Speaker 3: no more flag planning. There'll be no more grabbing the flag.
- 2:35Speaker 1: You know.
- 2:35Speaker 3: We talked about our new tradition and what we do
- 2:37Speaker 3: when we win a game is go meet the band,
- 2:42Speaker 3: go sing our victors, and stay over there until the
- 2:45Speaker 3: other team departs. And that's how we'll operate, you know,
- 2:48Speaker 3: shake hands after the game. Show sportsmanships be cordial. You
- 2:52Speaker 3: know a lot of guys in college football know each other.
- 2:55Speaker 3: You know, all these guys are there kids at the
- 2:57Speaker 3: end of the day, there's seventeen to twenty two year
- 2:58Speaker 3: old kids and there are most of them are friends.
- 3:01Speaker 3: A lot of them talk before the game, so let
- 3:04Speaker 3: them have that and uh, but then as a as
- 3:06Speaker 3: a team, go be together as a team and then
- 3:08Speaker 3: leave as a team.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Two years ago, Michigan was the team that won the
- 3:11Speaker 1: national championship. Last year it was Ohio State, and the
- 3:14Speaker 1: Wolverines did managed to beat the eventual national national champions
- 3:19Speaker 1: and that was obviously a big deal. But when you
- 3:21Speaker 1: listen to Sharan more talk, it's you know, that's great,
- 3:23Speaker 1: but that's not good enough. That's not the standard at Michigan.
- 3:27Speaker 1: They want to do more this year. Yeah.
- 3:29Speaker 3: I mean you look at obviously you win against the
- 3:32Speaker 3: team that won it all. So if you like, you're
- 3:34Speaker 3: pretty close and uh, the games you lost, do you
- 3:37Speaker 3: think there's moments where you can grab them. But I
- 3:39Speaker 3: think any in in football in general, there's always the
- 3:42Speaker 3: games where you think like, oh, there's one snap here,
- 3:45Speaker 3: one play there, it doesn't matter.
- 3:47Speaker 2: You lost.
- 3:47Speaker 3: So our job is to make sure that we don't
- 3:49Speaker 3: have those those times anymore, so that we can make
- 3:52Speaker 3: sure we're we don't have to have these conversations of well,
- 3:55Speaker 3: if we would have scored in the red zone, or
- 3:56Speaker 3: if we would have had this stop, or we would
- 3:58Speaker 3: have got that pick, doesn't matter or football doesn't work
- 4:00Speaker 3: like that. Either win or you lose. So our job
- 4:03Speaker 3: as coaches to make sure it puts us in a
- 4:04Speaker 3: situation to be successful and help the players to do that.
- 4:07Speaker 3: So we're inching to that, and all we can do
- 4:11Speaker 3: now is get the training camp and see how far
- 4:14Speaker 3: we can get.
- 4:14Speaker 1: To this next one. Is kind of a popular question
- 4:18Speaker 1: at these events every year since Michigan ended that long
- 4:23Speaker 1: losing streak. They lost every game from twenty twelve to
- 4:26Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. The teams didn't play in twenty twenty, and
- 4:29Speaker 1: then since then Michigan has run off for in a
- 4:31Speaker 1: row in the series. So Doron Moore has asked, Okay,
- 4:34Speaker 1: what did you do in ann Arbor to really swing
- 4:37Speaker 1: the tide of the rivalry between that twenty nineteen game
- 4:41Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty one game. Here's a topic that
- 4:45Speaker 1: I know will be of tremendous interest to a huge
- 4:47Speaker 1: junk of our audience. The NCAA investigation into the Connor
- 4:51Speaker 1: Stallions thing. So here's the thing about asking coaches about
- 4:54Speaker 1: something like this. If you ask about the investigation or
- 4:57Speaker 1: what they're going you know, what he thinks they're going
- 4:59Speaker 1: to do in terms of punishment or any of that
- 5:01Speaker 1: kind of stuff, you're going to get and I can't
- 5:04Speaker 1: talk about an investigation answer and that'll be bad. So
- 5:07Speaker 1: this was a question that was sort of related to that.
- 5:09Speaker 1: Then as close as you kind of got to a
- 5:11Speaker 1: question about the Connors Stallion's investigation without it being directly
- 5:14Speaker 1: about so what do you think.
- 5:15Speaker 3: Is going to happen?
- 5:16Speaker 1: So the question is about the distraction of a pending
- 5:20Speaker 1: NCAA investigation. Of course, the NCAA expected to issue its
- 5:24Speaker 1: rulings sometime between now and the start of the season.
- 5:27Speaker 1: You figure it's going to be sometime in August, but
- 5:29Speaker 1: we'll see, there's not an exact date known yet. So
- 5:33Speaker 1: he was asked, how much of a distraction is that
- 5:36Speaker 1: right now? With your team about ready to enter camp
- 5:39Speaker 1: and with that sort of hanging over everyone's head. Then
- 5:42Speaker 1: you're going to hear a follow up. It's a little
- 5:44Speaker 1: hard to hear because the questioners were not on Mike here.
- 5:46Speaker 1: But the question, the follow up question was just about
- 5:49Speaker 1: whether there's a plan for if Sharon Moore is suspended
- 5:53Speaker 1: for a game or two this season. Remember, Michigan sort
- 5:55Speaker 1: offered him up as a two game self imposed suspension
- 5:58Speaker 1: for games three and four of the season as a
- 6:00Speaker 1: result of deleting texts that he got from Connor Stallions.
- 6:03Speaker 1: So he was asked, you know, the follow up is
- 6:05Speaker 1: whether there's a plan for what happens there. They'll have
- 6:07Speaker 1: a very brief answer to that. Then you'll hear another
- 6:10Speaker 1: follow up about what that plan is.
- 6:13Speaker 3: Uh, you know, obviously can't talk about that, but not
- 6:15Speaker 3: hard because you're just so excited about what's going on
- 6:18Speaker 3: and the program and the team and our players just
- 6:20Speaker 3: don't get distracted by all that. Our coaches don't get
- 6:23Speaker 3: distracted by all that because you can't worry about stuff
- 6:25Speaker 3: you can't control. So all we're gonna do is worry
- 6:27Speaker 3: about what we can't control and go play.
- 6:30Speaker 2: If there's some sort of.
- 6:35Speaker 3: A plan and plan, yep, well we'll wait to see
- 6:41Speaker 3: if that happens.
- 6:42Speaker 1: It's easy to forget now, but Michigan's season was really
- 6:45Speaker 1: hanging by a thread. At one point. The Wolverines were
- 6:48Speaker 1: five and five going into the last couple of games
- 6:52Speaker 1: of the regular season. They were looking like they might
- 6:56Speaker 1: be dead in the water. They had a game against
- 6:58Speaker 1: Northwestern and a game against Ohio State, and then after
- 7:00Speaker 1: that there were no guarantees. They theoretically could have missed
- 7:02Speaker 1: a bowl game. Last year. Well, they beat Northwestern fifty
- 7:06Speaker 1: to six, and they go down to Columbus and they
- 7:07Speaker 1: shocked the Buckeyes thirteen to ten. And then they go
- 7:10Speaker 1: play in whatever the Outback Bowl is called now, and
- 7:14Speaker 1: they beat Alabama too, and all of a sudden boom,
- 7:16Speaker 1: you're eight and five. You're in a three game winning streak.
- 7:19Speaker 1: How did they swing things? What changed in the last
- 7:22Speaker 1: few games of that season?
- 7:24Speaker 3: I mean, just to instilled confidence that they have and
- 7:27Speaker 3: the confidence that they got in those games. There wasn't
- 7:29Speaker 3: a magic potion or something that we did, and wasn't
- 7:32Speaker 3: the way we changed practice, because we practiced the same.
- 7:35Speaker 3: But the energy, the focus, the level of the confidence
- 7:38Speaker 3: that they had in those games was definitely different than
- 7:40Speaker 3: the others. And we'll just continue to apply it like
- 7:43Speaker 3: that and just work. And the leaders on the team
- 7:47Speaker 3: saw it. The leaders on the team see it, and
- 7:49Speaker 3: continue to let our leaders be leaders and empower them
- 7:53Speaker 3: as much as possible to make sure we continue that.
- 7:56Speaker 1: And then finally this one is not directly Ohio State related,
- 7:59Speaker 1: but does sort of touch on the Ohio state thing,
- 8:01Speaker 1: so we're going to talk about it here. It's kind
- 8:03Speaker 1: of interesting anyway. It's just kind of his thoughts on
- 8:07Speaker 1: how they kept things on the rails, because you have
- 8:09Speaker 1: seen Ohio state seasons twenty eleven, for example, where it
- 8:12Speaker 1: started going badly and it just never quite got back
- 8:15Speaker 1: on track. You've seen those seasons not very often. Nineteen
- 8:18Speaker 1: ninety nine was another one where it looked like it
- 8:20Speaker 1: started badly and they never quite got things back on track. Michigan,
- 8:24Speaker 1: they did turn things around last year, So how did
- 8:27Speaker 1: they do that? How did you keep things on track
- 8:29Speaker 1: to be able to pull off that shocking win in
- 8:31Speaker 1: Columbus and then the win over Alabama and the Bowl?
- 8:35Speaker 3: You know what I don't I think I think the
- 8:37Speaker 3: energy was up because you find out who you are
- 8:39Speaker 3: in adverse situations, right And when you're fifteen and h
- 8:43Speaker 3: and you win a national championships, everybody's happy all the time,
- 8:45Speaker 3: everybody's dancing, everybody's slapping each other. You know, we're all
- 8:48Speaker 3: But when you are six and five or five and five, like,
- 8:52Speaker 3: you really figure out who you are. And we found
- 8:54Speaker 3: out who we were, found out where we got a
- 8:56Speaker 3: great culture, we got great kids, we got great coaches
- 8:59Speaker 3: that love each other, that take care of each other.
- 9:01Speaker 3: And that's when you find out who you really are,
- 9:04Speaker 3: not when you're fifteen to zero. And it's fun to
- 9:06Speaker 3: be fifteen to oh, don't get me wrong, I want
- 9:07Speaker 3: to do that again, seventeen and oh, fifteen to oh,
- 9:10Speaker 3: whatever it is. But you find out the build and
- 9:13Speaker 3: the makeup of your culture and people who are around
- 9:16Speaker 3: you when you're in adversity, and we found out who
- 9:18Speaker 3: we were.
- 9:19Speaker 1: So that'll do it for sure. On more, we'll have
- 9:21Speaker 1: more coverage for you coming from Big ten media days,
