CC: Jim Come Home

Submitted by MadMonkey on

 

"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.

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)!

Maybe it’s our lawyers’ curse.
When overworked, we write in verse
That MGoBloggers just despise.
I’ve been there, so I sympathize.
 
From my experience, writing in verse on MGoBlog generates more intensely negative comments than anything I’ve posted here.  Take heart in knowing that all of our fellow MGoBloggers who’ve condemned our lyrical writing probably, at some time when they’ve been attending a Michigan sporting event, have been singing some verses written by a 35-year old lawyer and amateur poet named Francis Scott Key.

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)"

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.

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.

Do we really need a thread every time someone comes up with a song, picture, thought, dream, fantasy or vision related to Jim Harbaugh? Not only is it getting old, but it is kind of pathetic.

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.

I can't believe the OP spent all that time rewriting a song to make a joke. Hey guys let's rehash our order of new coach preferences for the millionth time instead because it's interesting and productive.

Really? This is probably the most interesting and funniest post about Harbaugh or the CC I've seen yet. Better than reading the latest rumors. Funny that people are telling the OP to lighten up and get a grip...

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!
