What Did Ryan Walters Say About Michigan Football?
Following the game, Walters spoke to reporters and he doubled down on what he said earlier in the week.
“Just calling a spade a spade, really, in terms of advantages or disadvantages,” Walters said. “Just stating what happened.”
“I didn’t think so,” Walters said. “Again, I usually tell the truth, it’s not like a big deal, you know what I mean? But yeah, I would say that I was made breakfast Friday morning and got a cup of coffee and turned on SportsCenter and I was on the ticker. That was like and ‘Oh, OK,’ moment. But again, I’m not shy about speaking truth and if I could do it over again I’d say the same thing.”
