Jim Harbaugh's spiral at Michigan continues with worst loss yet

They are begging for him to stay in Columbus. They are pleading for him to stick around in State College. They are worried in East Lansing about a contract that’s set to expire in 14 months. Heck, even Indiana is planning on upsizing at their expense.

Amid its sixth season, the Jim Harbaugh experience at Michigan has officially flipped. It began with carnival barker attention and overzealous amounts of Big Blue optimism. It teased within inches of national prominence on the infamous J.T. Barrett fourth-down play at Ohio State in 2016.

But after No. 13 Michigan’s 27-24 home loss to 24-point underdog Michigan State, the Harbaugh experience has spiraled into a predictable heap of uninspired mediocrity.

Not at Michigan, but Harbaugh did recruit Andrew Luck at Stanford.

Harbaugh is the prototypical Michigan Man, who still labors under the shadow of Bo Schembechler and 1980's style football. That and I honestly think that UM president Schlissel would love to see athletics de-emphasized in Ann Arbor.

Jim Hairball is a big time liberal. As a result, it warms my heart to see him fail in such a soul destroying fashion.

Being a Bama fan my entire life, I can honestly state that we have the most woke team in College football. Saban even encouraged this behavior before the season. This has definitely put a damper on my enthusiasm for this Bama team. They could beat every team by 20 or more this year and I will not celebrate. I never imagined I would be typing these words. I hope your Buckeyes do not “out-woke” Alabama.

I don’t think so...and the last time Bama got cocky when playing the Buckeyes, Ezekiel Elliot ran through Bama’s defense like a hot knife through butter.

Never mind... you weren’t being cocky. I misread your post.

Lol. After beating Ohio State the three other times Bama has played the Buckeyes, it figures you would finally beat us. You are right about Ezekiel Elliot, he was great while we only gave Derrick Henry the ball around 10 times. Ohio State was the better team that year. Gosh I miss the times when college football was not so woke. I am with you on despising your main rival Michigan. With their BS PC helmet slogans they are using this year, they should go ahead and cancel their program.
