Just my preference Agreed. Also, Harbaugh is clearly better suited to the NFL, where he doesn’t have to deal with that pesky NCAA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Counterpoint: The shelf life of an NFL coach is pretty damn short…for every Bellichick there are 2-3 Reich’s… Harbaugh has a lifetime contract at his alma mater, will never buy a meal in Ann Arbor and will be untouchable in the event of a win Monday night…maybe even if they lose. At 60 years old, that’s pretty damn rare and might cause one to think twice, no? Edited January 6 by temptation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record, this thread is 19 pages long and @Bash Riprock declared himself “done going down this rabbit hole” on page 10. Thats telling. What is telling about me and an obvious personal flaw on my part is inability to ignore your continuous ignorant posts....such as the one above. But remember, you can also put out the fire by keeping your fat mouth shut. Works both ways. I have been clear...I am not fond of coaches and programs that cheat, nor institutions that defend and/or cover them up. I am also not fond of people such as yourself that justify those actions and play the victim card. I deem that pathetic.

You really are the gift that keeps on giving…you’ve revisited this thread (that is now 20 pages long) that YOU created 5+ months ago that continually gets bumped to the top of the forum just to share your level of “outrage” about a “cheating coach/program” which you have no affiliation or rooting interest in. How long have you been a member of this site? Did you bring this same level of energy to all of the cheating programs in the southeast and at USC/Ohio State who were openly paying players for years before it was legal or do you cherry pick your outrage and was iPhone 14 footage your final straw? Harbaugh HAD to sleep with your ex girlfriend or something. At this point there is no other rational explanation. I can only imagine you in your living room Monday night…stabbing your Harbaugh voodoo doll and pretending to be some sort of Michael Penix fanatic because he graduated from IU.

No one forced you to read or comment on this thread. No one. Just walk away. Just walk away and stop acting like you need to defend Harbaugh. Trust me, he's good with people's opinions. And yes, you did make a homophobic reference about Grover and myself, and you've twice made comments about Harbaugh and my wife. At least the quote above only references an ex-girlfriend. After 3 of such references, I am beginning to better understand your fetish. Those type of comments define you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I missed this in an earlier post, but what exactly is your affiliation with the University of Michigan or why do you have rooting interest with the institution? Is it their hideous football helmets, stupid fight song, overbearing school colors, generally insufferable fanbase, etc? I lived in southeastern Michigan for almost 10 years, so I'm pretty familiar with the UM fanbase and cognoscenti. I even made a couple of pilgrimages to the Big House during my years there. It was an ugly hole in the ground. Big, sure, but an ugly dump just the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big, sure, but an ugly dump just the same. Many years ago when my older daughter was a high school cheerleader, their squad competed in a cheer competition at U of M. When I was talking with her afterward, she told me that their bus arrived early enough that they drove around the campus a bit. I asked if she got to see The Big House. She said they did. I asked her what she thought of it. Direct quote: “It’s a dump filled with losers.” Talk about a proud Dad! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTF Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I've been to the Big House. It's big, but that's about it. That being said, how nice their stadium is has no bearing on the fact that they are the best team in college football and just crowned themselves champions. What's disturbing to me is what college football has become and the lengths some will go (or is it most) to achieve success (or maybe it's just the income). Money corrupts the majority. I think a coach nowadays will do whatever it takes to secure his seven figure salary and over inflated ego. Many are guilty of it, not just Harbaugh. Anyway, congrats to the Wolverines, and glad this drama filled season is over with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a fact and NCAA football is a dirty business. But hey, Jimmy said they are "innocent" last night, so there you have it. Time to move on. Sure hope he does as well..... https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39270452/jim-harbaugh-michigan-overcame-field-issues-knew-were-innocent Despite a three-game suspension to open the season after an NCAA investigation into alleged recruiting violations in 2020, followed by a sign-stealing scandal and the subsequent dismissal of staff member Connor Stalions that led to another three-game suspension, Harbaugh said the Wolverines were never rattled. "It went exactly how we wanted it to go to win every game," Harbaugh said Monday night after No. 1 Michigan defeated No. 2 Washington 34-13. "The off-the-field issues, we're innocent and we stood strong and tall because we knew we were innocent. And I'd like to point that out. "These guys are innocent. Overcome that ... it wasn't that hard because we knew we were innocent." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTF Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Congratulations to the Wolverines on their championship and ringing one up for the Big 10. Far and away the weakest field since the inception of the four team playoff. But a championship trophy none the less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
