Until/unless they get the TRO he can't be there. Maybe a good sign that the team hasn't announced the interim coach yet though? Not that I've seen anyway

At this point im figuring the judge isnt even gonna rule in time. JUB just tweeted that possibility. Harbaugh can always show up late on his own but its 2.5 hrs to kick now. Im sure theyre prepping like hes not gonna be there 

Any word on who the stand in HC is? Sherrone?

Very surprised by that. They thought about Minter, but then had discussed them needing to focus on their OC/DC duties in such a short notice. Last night it was going to be Hart most likely. The discussion was basically that Moore already has too much on his plate and a very short notice against a top 10 team.

Last night it was talked about that Hart would be the immediate interim. They want Minter and Moore to focus on their respective sides of the ball. There was a plan as well to possibly have Minter as the interim. I don’t think we see Moore acting as head coach in such a big game. He’s got too much responsibility with the line and calling plays and this was a last minute thing. Moore may be interim going forward but today if Harbaugh isn’t out there I believe it’ll be Hart. Again, that was discussed last night.

Mike Hart is the only answer - he's family, having played at Michigan he has ingrained support from everyone.  He would more leash if things go south, and won't be questioned as to why he was the chosen one.

I love both Moore and Minter, but they can't address the fanbase with the same weight that Hart brings to the table.  Besides, let them focus on offense and defense - need those units at full strength!

Also: the judge needs to get off her ass and make a decision.  Being so late before the game, it should be a no-brainer.  I'm hoping that they're just waiting for Fox to break the news instead of ESPN.  (Especially since the B1G gave the suspension news to ESPN at least 30 minutes before notifying Michigan...)
