Just imagining what paying Harbaugh all that money must feel like as a Michigan fan

I'm surprised he's still employed there. A lot of o-fer's...

Zero National Chips
Zero CFP Appearances
Zero B1G Conference Chips
Zero B1G East Division Titles
0-2 NY6 Bowls
1-4 Overall Bowl Record
0-5 vs Ohio St
3-2 vs Michigan St
3-2 vs Penn St
1-1 vs ND

Michigan just can’t seem to get their act together.

That’s entirely because Brady Hoke got to play the 6-6 probation team though.

Michigan had to have him. Turns out, he puts his pants on one leg at a time like the rest of us, and now that’s not good enough.

Then again, looking at how Michigan people even hated Carr, you could still succeed and not be good enough. So, not sure Harbaugh can ever make everyone there happy.

I could be wrong but I think the Big Ten still awards division co-championships, which is lame because everybody knows that the team that goes to the conference championship game is the real division champ and the team that didn't, is not the division champ.

With that all said, I believe that Harbaugh technically has 1 Big Ten east division co-championship

Tennessee syndrome - outsized expectations for modern program realities. So long as OSU keeps hitting hires out of the park, Michigan will struggle for national or even divisional relevance with them being hemmed in by Michigan State while OSU has no Big Ten Ohio competition. Still TBD if Ryan Day can keep up the momentum though, there's always a chance he can't recruit to Urban Meyer levels.

Wonder how Hoke will do at San Diego State now that he's back. Second stint coaches see mixed results, though he takes over a strong program whereas before SDSU was a bit of an underachiever if I'm not mistaken.

Jim Harbaugh's khakis must be furious right now.

Yeah, I guess. Better to spend money on a coach then on criminal and civil lawsuits each year. Are you suggesting he fake illnesses like Urban to get out of his contracts?
Definitely wondering if you feel you actually won the game in 2016 when Barrett ran into his own man and didn't make the first down in OT.

Also find it strange how you are so proud of this program:

DEFINITELY A SCHOOL/PROGRAM TO BE PROUD OF, BUT NO REASON TO EXPECT ANYTHING ELSE FROM OHIO SCUM.

Back in the 80s and 90s when Michigan was beating Ohio State the Wolverines recruited Ohio very well. Most of their best players were from
Ohio. Since the Jim Tressel era OSU has the pick of whomever they wanted in the state. In fact even MSU and Wisconsin recruit Ohio better than Michigan.

Not tapping into Ohio is a big blow for Michigan as they do not have as much home grown top-shelf talent that you find in Ohio.
