CC: Jim Come Home
"Jim Come Home"
with apologies to Simon & Garfunkel and their song, “Homeward Bound”
Jim’s sitting in Santa Clara station.
Hackett’s got a ticket to his destination. hmmm-mmm
On a tour of one-night stands he’s got headset and cap in hand.
And ev'ry stop is neatly planned as stepping stone to Michigan’s NC stand.
Homeward bound,
I wish Jim was,
Homeward bound,
Home, with no recruits escaping,
Home, where our band is playing,
Home, where MGoBlog is waiting
Silently for him.
Ev'ry day's an endless stream
Of bullshit tweets and agent smokescreens. hmmm-mmm
And each coach looks the same to me, whether alternative B, C, or D
And Ian Rapoport’s face reminds me that I long to see,
Homeward bound,
I wish Jim was,
Homeward bound,
Home, with no recruits escaping,
Home, where our band is playing,
Home, where MGoBlog is waiting
Silently for him.
Tonight I'll press F5 again,
I'll play the game and pretend. hmmm-mmm
But the last decade comes back to me in shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony I need Harbaugh to comfort me.
Homeward bound,
I wish Jim was,
Homeward bound,
Home, with no recruits escaping,
Home, where our band is playing,
Home, where MGoBlog is waiting
Silently for him.
Silently for him

EDIT: The board is touchy this morning! Take a deep breath . . . it is sarcasm.

"Jim come home."

Scrolled down to the first post and gave you a nice +1.

contracts and got a little punchy this morning.
I was going for the "We Love You Denard" vibe ala Stansik. It was a swing and a big miss . . . which is why I have to work for a living and haven't filled any auditoriums with my stand up routine.
I will ban myself from all posts until we have a new coach (and no, it doesn't have to be Jim)!

So you guys don't want me to post The Twelve Days of Harbaugh?
December 13th, 2014 at 4:54 PM ^
Considering the pessimism expressed by some people on this Board and the way things have been going for Michigan athletics lately, you might expect some MGoBloggers to suggest that it'd be more appropriate for you to post something from “The Twelve Chairs (of Mel Brooks)"

They are turning into this (give you one guess as to which one Jim is):

I think we found our new banner

Not sure the world outside MGoBlogoland would get the intended sarcasm.
December 13th, 2014 at 2:54 PM ^
It would be hilarious.
December 13th, 2014 at 12:49 PM ^
Right?
December 13th, 2014 at 4:16 PM ^
Harbaugh's coming out of his way!
December 13th, 2014 at 12:48 PM ^

I was just thinking if every Michigan fan on the michigan football facebook page gave 5 dollars we could pay off Brandon and Hoke's buyout and move that 6 million dollars to Harbaugh's 5 year 35 million dollar deal.
December 13th, 2014 at 12:25 PM ^
This sounds like a great idea. I think Mr. Ross should match it dollar for dollar as well. I am willing to sacrifice and offer my paypal account as a place to store the aggregated money until the day Jim is hired and once it's all in I'll quickly move it offshore to the Cayman Isl...err Ann Arbor.
So let's do this.

You really did a good job with the lyrics and meter, I must say.

Geeze! You all are going to need therapy if Harbaugh doesn't come here. Get a grip!!!
December 13th, 2014 at 12:14 PM ^
I would like to see Jim come home and coach us back to the top, but if doesn't, there are so many others who could also do a great job here. Miles, stoops, Mora, Herman and a host of others.

Miles, Stoops, and Mora would do good here. Herman is a huge risk.

Almost as good as that Poem that was posted on the michigan football recruiting hq page a week or two back, but not quite.
Edit: Found it!
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the Big House
Gregg Henson had finally stopped tweeting, not even over Mary Sue Coleman's vodka spilled blouse.
The sources were filtered by mgoblog with care,
In hopes that a Harbaugh soon would be there;
The Michigan Recruiting HQ members were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of Jimmy H kicking Dantonio's ass danced in their heads;
And WolverineDevotee in his custom-made away jerseys, and Skyler Owen in his lucky cap,
Had just settled down for a long off-season nap,
When out on President Schlissel's front lawn there arose such a clatter,
Mike StBernard sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the GBW site, Bill Parker flew like a flash,
Logged onto the Victors Board and fed Tom Beaver some more cash
Meanwhile, the empty bleachers at the Big House were filled with new-fallen snow,
Gave the pondering Michigan fans wonders how our program has sunk this low
When, what to Champion Luke Gabriel's wondering eyes should appear (!?),
But a man in khaki pants, and his lovely wife holding a 6 pack of beer,
With a little confirmation of Sam Webb's word of law, so lively and quick,
LSA2000 knew in a moment it must be Jim Harbaugh!
More rapid than Brian Cook's bloggings, his kick-ass assistants they came,
And Jim hand-shaked, and shouted, and called the greats by name;
"Now, Yost! now, Fritz! now Bo and Ufer!
On, Harmon! on Desmond! on, Woodson and Carter!
Forget Rojo's mother's take ! Lets start recruiting all over the Great Lakes!
This is Michigan! This is Michigan fergodsakesl!"
And for all... I say to you, go blue!

This is great and that being said. Everyone has gone MAD!

Your alternate version of the original reminded me of another alternate version that was pretty impresssive.
