Harbaugh expands on comments about Dantonio, MSU today
After having some time to think about it, Coach Harbaugh has doubled down and expanded his comments about the Spartans, Coach Dantonio, and their program. Let's just say he doesn't regret his original comments after the game-quite the contrary.

This was basically Harbaugh's version of Dantonio's infamous "it's not over" 2007 comments. Things are about to get a lot spicier in this rivalry.
October 22nd, 2018 at 1:02 PM ^
Except we won this game.
October 22nd, 2018 at 2:01 PM ^
And he didn't personally insult any of the MSU players.
October 22nd, 2018 at 2:33 PM ^
Every time I see someone post the Watts-Jackson video, I’m going to reply with the video of Devin Bush!! Feels great!
October 22nd, 2018 at 12:57 PM ^
"When you host a team, each team shares the field," Harbaugh said. "Each has a sideline, each has half of the field to warm up on. Michigan State locked arms and used every inch of the field in their walk in attempt of going through or over our guys in a physical manner. To call that unsportsmanlike or call that bush league is putting it mildly. That could've been a real unfortunate incident. As I said, it's the opposite of BS. Coach said that was BS, it's not. That's fact. I think it's something the two athletic directors should talk about."
Harbaugh adjusted his glasses and looked down at his piece of paper and continued.
"I'll go one step further and use Coach Dantonio's words from a few years back," he said. "It's not a product of their team but their program. That's using his words. That could've been unfortunate. I'm proud of our guys for keeping their cool and waiting for the game to (settle it)."
In terms of Bush's response to the incident, Harbaugh didn't have any issues with the way things unfolded from his team.
"I don't blame Devin," Harbaugh said. "I like the way our guys handled it."

Lmfao JMFH baby!!
October 22nd, 2018 at 1:03 PM ^
Fuck. Yes.
October 22nd, 2018 at 1:04 PM ^
Hells yes.
October 22nd, 2018 at 1:45 PM ^
Hails yes.
October 22nd, 2018 at 1:05 PM ^
I think Jim and Mork should fight. It would be a worse beating for Dantoni that what his team endured Saturday.
October 22nd, 2018 at 1:37 PM ^
JH has his cleats on. He ready.
October 22nd, 2018 at 3:10 PM ^
OMG shirtless?
October 22nd, 2018 at 3:39 PM ^
No, I’d rather Urban see what happens to Donatelli.
October 22nd, 2018 at 1:06 PM ^
It is finally starting to feel like Michigan football again. This is gold!
October 22nd, 2018 at 1:29 PM ^
I think it goes even further than that. This is what we have always wanted from Michigan football: the talent, integrity, intelligence, class and toughness we are historically used to (before 2008) but also with an edge and chip on their shoulder that we have never really seen at Michigan. We just aren't going to take a bunch of crap any more. This could be the one thing that takes this program from very, very good to great.
October 22nd, 2018 at 2:30 PM ^
Spot on. Love the "go fuck yourself" attitude from our men who are backing it up. Gotta keep rolling!
October 22nd, 2018 at 2:42 PM ^
Yes, but what about from great to elite? He should ask James Franklin, who seems to have figured it out.
October 22nd, 2018 at 9:37 PM ^
Win with character. Win with cruelty.

October 22nd, 2018 at 2:47 PM ^
Gold Jerry, Gold!
October 22nd, 2018 at 1:07 PM ^
Wow. this is great.
October 22nd, 2018 at 1:13 PM ^
wait, wait, wait...who is MSU's athletic director? Hollis left because he knew about a ton of rape and kept it to himself but who would Mork answer to now?
Honest question.
October 22nd, 2018 at 1:16 PM ^
Bill Beekman
Who, FYI, wasn't supposed to be hired because Engler wasn't supposed to be allowed to hire a full time AD, but he did and no one said anything about it.
October 22nd, 2018 at 1:14 PM ^
To all people wondering where the real Jim Harbaugh went; the "What's your deal," the Jim Schwartz handshake Harbaugh: He's back.
October 22nd, 2018 at 1:23 PM ^
Making no apologies. Showing no mercy. But Harbaugh is calling the situation what it is. Calling out the culture of MSU’s program.
I have to imagine future exchanges between these Dantonio and Harbaugh are going to be very short, and whatever respect the two had for each other is probably gone. Whatever.
Harbaugh just walked up to an already raging inferno and dumped ten barrels of kerosene on it. Which is fine by me. About time Michigan showed the same intensity in this rivalry that MSU does.
October 22nd, 2018 at 1:44 PM ^
"Whatever respect the two had for each other is probably gone."
I won't speak for Jim Harbaugh, but there's zero chance that Mike Dantoni ever had any respect for Michigan or Jim Harbaugh.
Zero.
October 22nd, 2018 at 1:47 PM ^
Consuming feelings of inferiority and insecurity, yes. Respect, no.
October 22nd, 2018 at 1:23 PM ^
Hell to the yes. I’ve been waiting for Michigan to beat them and rub their nose in it. Keep doing this every year.
October 22nd, 2018 at 1:28 PM ^
Dantonio has always been a sack of shit, and I'm happy it's all starting to crumble around him.
October 22nd, 2018 at 6:14 PM ^
I love this man
October 22nd, 2018 at 9:26 PM ^
So, in other words, Harbaugh apologizes for nothing? Fan-fuckin-tastic!
October 22nd, 2018 at 12:58 PM ^
Harbaugh should send in video of Ruiz getting bent backwards and the msu march to the big ten. Dantonio should be suspended.
October 22nd, 2018 at 1:17 PM ^
NCAA needs to slap a "show cause" on his snarky ass.
October 22nd, 2018 at 1:48 PM ^
Don't see it mentioned elsewhere, but did anyone catch the blatant shove on Chase at 14:42 left in the 2nd quarter (around29:38 mark here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEEZFL6jFhI)? A typical cheap shot by now, but another missed flag on Sparty worth reporting.
October 22nd, 2018 at 2:03 PM ^
Most everyone on Twitter saw Chase get earholed. That's why every Wolverine who put a helmet on (in the game, bc why else would you wear your helmet) decided to smack a little bitch in the face.
October 22nd, 2018 at 2:39 PM ^
Hey, the ref gave the MSU player a stern talking-to -- that should do it, right?
October 22nd, 2018 at 2:41 PM ^
Same guy also tried to injure Higdon's ankle after the play, so they should send that too
October 22nd, 2018 at 12:59 PM ^
I love it. What's State/Dantonio gonna do? Try harder to beat Michigan? Keep this stuff coming.
October 22nd, 2018 at 1:13 PM ^
I mean, exactly. I've given up the ghost of MSU under Dantonio ever not manufacturing DISREPEKT. No matter what. Even when Hoke comes groveling back for UM's poor decorum over 3 inches of metal a foot onto the field, Dantonio still burned with fire to beat UM. It's just a part of his and MSU's DNA under him. It will always be. There is literally nothing UM can say or ever do that would change that. So just call him on his BS. Lean into it, get back in his grill. Like you say, what are they going to do, now really try and beat UM?
October 22nd, 2018 at 1:18 PM ^
I feel like we got the old Harbs back. The guy we had in 2015 that gave 0 shits about being PC or playing nice and instead came to win. And, funny enough, it looks like Urbz took on some on that "don't rock the boat" mantra. Dude looks scared on the sidelines. Weird to see.
October 22nd, 2018 at 1:02 PM ^
THIS would be a great T-shirt!
October 22nd, 2018 at 1:28 PM ^
Very good. If you keep posting gems like this, you'll be back in the positive points in no time.
October 22nd, 2018 at 3:15 PM ^
Whenever the points systems goes back online
October 22nd, 2018 at 1:02 PM ^
omfg i love it, such catharsis from Hoke years
