‘This Is Wild,’ ‘He’s Not Wrong’ — Michigan Fans React As Dave Portnoy Argues Wolv…

Michigan · Marshall · Minnesota

Marshall apologized on Tuesday, and Portnoy wrote that he was more concerned with how head coach Kyle Whittingham fixes the team than the text-message controversy. "Listen, do you want players in the group chat trashing the coaches?

But in the scheme of problems we got right now this doesnt even register… There are major issues everywhere you look. I'm far more concerned with how Whittingham is gonna fix this team than punishing Zack Marshall for complaining about how [expletive] they are playing.

It's not exactly breaking news," Portnoy wrote on X . After the leaked texts went viral, Marshall took to X to apologize: "Last weekend, in the hours after we lost, I made some inappropriate comments that I regret.

This game is won and lost as a team, and I pointed fingers instead of taking accountability. I let my frustrations speak for me in an emotional moment.
