Harbaugh Responds to Sparty Trolling with a Tip of the Cap
As everybody knows, Harbaugh spent last night at Quinn Nordin's house trying to flip the nation's #1 kicker. He was welcomed to Rockford by this sign:
A lesser man would have ignored it and grumbled quietly...
Harbaugh responds by recognizing the effort and applauding the fan's commitment to the rivalry...

You know, for a fanbase that doesn't care about Michigan at all, they put many, many hours of preparation and planning into no caring about Michigan at all. Indeed, they really have an organized mental schema for "not caring about Michigan", not to mention a sizable budget devoted to making things which exude this lack of care. I applaud them.....not really.

is their coping mechanism for the Bama game.

1) OSU would have gone to the playoff and Urban beat up on Saban last yeatr, so probably would have again. Back-to-back for OSU would have been awful. OSU not winning didn't even keep any underclassmen from declaring and trying to win in 2016.
2) MSU was embarassed when they played Bama, so we got some enjoyment out of that.
3) That play had to hammer home the valuable lesson of playing through the last snap and whistle at 100%. The game can change on a dime.

This is awesome!
I'm 100% certain that each day Harbaugh thinks about how Michigan gifted those mouthbreathers a victory in the Big House. I'm sure it absolutely infuriates him. This sort of thing only adds fuel to the fire.
JH will have the Wolverines foaming at the mouth for the opportunity to rip Sparty to shreds in EL.

@CoachJim4UM We made you a much nicer sign. #keepQuinninMI pic.twitter.com/3XNRb1YI8d

This is good. But the message delivery would've been more dramatic if airplane sky writing was involved.

I disagree strongly. Harbaugh doesn't need fuel.
This might motivate the players, but Harbaugh's competitive spirit is always at 11 out of 10. As a reminder, he destroyed a 10 year old in laser tag in order to win. The man does not have an off-switch.

I seriously doubt Harbaugh thought "Wow. I can't believe a random resident of Rockford, Michigan, would dare make a sign poking fun at Michigan. This is truly an outrage. I did not care about winning the MSU game before, but now I do"
I bet you anything Dantonio and Izzo field go blues all the time and vice versa for Harbaugh and Beilein

So you're saying you don't think that sign rubs a little salt in the wound?

This is why Harbaugh isn't going back to the NFL. You only get this kind of passion in college football.

It is rare to get a moment as a fan that you will remember forever - where you were, who you were with, how exactly you felt at that moment. It wasn't fun at the time but such memories are worth something for sure.

I think Disrespekt™ is more appropriate.

Well this is the way they always used to win. Some terrible call or lucky shit would happen and we'd hear about it for the entire year until we crushed them the next year. With what they lose in personnel and what we bring back, hopefully we keep the tradition alive. As long as Oneill isn't calling the game next year I feel pretty confident.
January 15th, 2016 at 11:11 AM ^
I find the chest-pounding over a win which required a miracle, once-a-decade type play to be a bit ill-advised.

Not sure how everyone else feels, but I have this feeling Harbaugh and the boys put a serious beaten on MSU up at their trash filled stadium next year. Just a hunch, but I am calling an early prediction of something like 31-10.

If given the chance, he will go for 2 while up 30+...there is no question in my mind.

Boy would I love to see the look on Mike D's face...

We should have really been up by more than two points due to the reffing and our own mistakes. We could have intercepted the ball and taken it to their side of the 50, we could have stopped two of their drives if not for two bogus 15 yard penalty calls and our lb would still be in the game. Jake Butt would have extended a drive where we had to punt if they rightly call it a catch. As for mistakes of our own accord, we missed a few open receivers and gave up the long pass to the fullback.

It's kind of scary how obsessed with Harbaugh MSU is. They track his every move.

Okay, here we go!
"CLEARLY JIM HARBAUGH HATES RECRUITING!"
boom.

It's cute when people try to get under Harbaugh's skin. I mean, this guy eats lightning and craps thunder; he's not going to be bothered by a $50 sign in front of his yard about the most miraculous finish in recent college football memory.
His response was perfect, though.

I'm going to start using this any time it makes sense.
