It has happened. Jim Harbaugh will be Michigan's head coach starting Tuesday. The race to tell you water is wet is on in earnest, but with even ESPN grudgingly admitting it, it's 100%. These four gentlemen were the first:

John Clayton is saying it's "100%" with Harbaugh pinging NFL assistants about their desire to come with him; there is an army of comically out of touch NFL people saying the Raiders aren't dead yet without even considering what the 49ers would prefer—not the Raiders.

It's done.

A decade of strife surmounted. The angry Michigan-hating gods appeased. Let the good times, er, Harbaugh roll! Damnit I'm happy, like this happy:

This is surreal. 7 years of paying our dues for a generation renewed excellence. This is the biggest thing to happen to Michigan football since the hiring of Bo. And this happened because of the immense love and tradition for the school that its alumni develop over the years. It's something special that not all alumni of other schools understand. It's the Michigan Difference. And, boy, what a great day to be a Michigan Wolverine. Hail.

Thanks to Brian and the entire MGoBlog staff for their wonderful reporting throughout all of this.  Now I very much look forward to having the same dedication put toward reporting on potential assistant coaches and recruits!!!

What we desperately wanted, it remains to be seen if we can get what we need:  successive wins over our rivals, and to be in national and conference championship discussions.  Very excited, and our chances just went way up for those things, but there are no guarantees...

Now let's see what the rest of the staff looks like, and the recruits we get to say hello to!

If this all proves to be true, it will be damn near poetic for Michigan. We've been wandering the desert for years, lost our way after losing the program patriarch, and have just been flat out abused by our rivals. We were, and still currently are, a broken shell of our former selves. Trapped in the past and tearing ourselves apart from within. Starved for leadership and unity.

And just when things seem to be at their darkest, the prodigal son comes home to lead his alma mater back to where it belongs. To tell our rivals that enough is enough. To unite the factions and lead the charge forward into a new era.

I don't know what the future holds as far as beating MSU or OSU. Guys like Meyer will not be intimidated by Harbaugh. His teams will still be damn good and a tough out. But this hire means that both Meyer and Dantonio are put on notice. We're not going to be their damn punching bag anymore.

The sleeping giant has been awoken, my friends.

I want to go back to Michigan,
To dear Ann Arbor town,
Back to Joe's and the Orient,
And back to some of the money I spent,
I want to go back to Michigan,
To dear Ann Arbor town,
I want to go back;
I got to go back,
To Michigan

Incredible coup by Hackett and Schlis.  There was quite a bit of good luck regarding the timing of Harbaugh's availablity, but past UM administrations would have royally screwed up this opportunity.

It'll be great fun watching Harbaugh assemble his staff.  Here's hoping the process for hiring a new AD yields similar results.
