The Bottom Line: Jim Harbaugh Just Took On the Entire SEC/ACC Bloc... and Won.

November 14, 2009.

The big boys on the block, USC, a team that had treated the Pac Ten like a rag doll for the last decade, hosted Stanford. Jim Harbaugh's Stanford. 

Stanford triumphed 55-21, after going for 2 midway through the fourth. It was the "What's your deal" game. A game that shook the Pac Ten and the football universe.

Because Jim Harbaugh was not just some old QB gimmick coach. He was a killer. The kind of guy who would win with character and cruelty and sit upon a throne made of the skulls of his vanquished enemies. 

The kind of killer instinct Michigan has needed for decades.

Last summer Harbaugh stormed the college football world with satellite camps. This spring the college football world tried to bite back. Panicked, scared, and exhausted from countless nights spent sleepless after waking in cold sweats from Harbaugh-driven nightmares, they tried to to use a nuclear option to stop a singular football coach. He was in their heads.

They blew it. The sports media world was engulfed in flames. Whole conferences underwent revolts. Ethically questionable football coaches found themselves exposed as lazy millionaires. Even the Federal Government leaned over to check things out.

They were beaten. They walked back everything. The ban was totally abandoned. They came for Jim Harbaugh and lost, utterly.

Jim Harbaugh just took on the SEC and the ACC and won.

Now, the camps are back on. Justice has prevailed.

And Harbaugh is sitting on a throne of skulls.

Harbaugh didn't take on, or win a fukin thing. It's more like the SEC and NCAA decided it wasn't fair to punish all of the other football programs in the country because of one asshole ( Harbaugh). Hence correcting the over reach. Harbaugh should be on his knees apologizing for causing this problem in the first place.
Of course after reading what DJ Durkin had to say Harbaugh is far to much of a pure bread arrogant asshole to ever do that. I have no doubt that what he will do is be even more abrasive and act like even a greater asshole.

He will never be at Urban Meyer's level, in fact he will never even be in Dantonios level. He still tryin to prove to his dad he is as good as his brother. Which he isn't, and his dad knows it

I always thought it would be awesome to have that Kool Aid gif - where he breaks through the wall and sees the Griffin Family, then walks back slowly as though guilty of something - but instead of seeing the Griffins, you see a jungle scene with a bunch of dead bodies. At the bottom of the screen it simply says, Jonestown, Guyana, 1979...

There will be a backlash.  I have already noticed ESPN is printing a lot more material on Ohio State and Michigan State the last two months...  No joke.

This has always been Harbaugh's thing . . . pick a fight with the biggest bully on the block.  

We all thought it would be Urban Meyer, but as usual Harbaugh was 2 steps ahead of us.  He picked a fight with the entire SEC.  And won.

Meyer will have to wait his turn.  He's not a high enough priority just yet.

It is indeed an awesome victory to behold. 

I kind of imagine the SEC and ACC as Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget where, at the end of every episode, you would hear, "I'll get you next time, Gadget! Next time!" - I am sure their plan to make sure that spring practices cannot be held in areas zoned medium industrial will be laid out to the Rules Committee soon enough. 

They fought the Jim and the Jim won.

Soon he will beat them in the college football playoff too. Sometimes I still can't believe he is here. Last year was just the very start. We all know what he did and how impressive it was. The man is unreal.

Nicely played by the NCAA to quietly announce the reinstatement of satellite camps ON THE DAY OF THE NFL DRAFT.... Freaking weasels. This was planned all along.. 100% media focus today and tomorrow will be on the NFL draft.
