I'd say Harbaugh would be favored by  7 pts. I mean, after all, there are 11 Rutgers players on the field against just him, so I think he'd only win by a touchdown.

There is no contest.....Michigan can take any football player it wants in New Jersey away from Rutgers (unless Rutgers is the players dream school, the kid doesn't want to leave NJ, etc.). It's ridiculous to think this is even a fair fight. I understand them trying to talk this up like Ash isn't taking any of Harbaugh's crap, but Harbaugh is force feeding it to Ash, so there is little he can do.

I think it's weird how personal they take Jim Harbaugh doing his job well. I hope we win 36-0 on 12 chip shot field goals. Not because we can't get in the end zone, but because we are kicking them in first down so we don't hurt Rutgers' feelings.

Rubbing their noses in it? Bahahahaha.  Pretty sure Harbaugh could give two shits about what Rutgers thinks.

The Rutgers fan base is really subscribing to the "If we believe it, wins will come" philosophy.  Sadly, this is real life and not the fantasy land they've created for themselves. 

Thanks for sharing this post though - this makes this weekends game just a bit more enjoyable for me

That should have also been my signal to drop off, but I had to hear how Ahmir Mitchell left Michigan for Rutgers because "the grass is not always greener..."

This is funny. It'll be great to be leaving there Saturday night after a blowout win while they are shaking their fists at us.

Clearly, the miss Greg Schiano but walk cautiously forward with Chris Ash all the same after the clown show of Kyle Flood. 

That being said, unless they find a way to turn the ashes into a sculptable paste or something, we will probably just end up burning down any remaining Rutgers aspirations, whatever those may have been. More ashes for the pile.

How the hell do they even try to label this as a "rivalry"? It's batshit insane.

Attention Rutgers: you are not, and will never be one of our Rivals. Just stop, you're embarrassing yourselves.

JH landing the best players from NJ just reflects the reality that Rutgers football is garbage. Why would anyone with options want to go to a school that never has won, doesn't win now and isn't going to win in the future?

i could understand if they hated JH because of him going for two (to expand the lead to 27 points) and then continuing the annihlation into the second half in last year's game.... even though Rutgers had it coming with their chirping in the tunnel in spite of being down 19 at the half.   That would make more sense than hating JH for recruiting NJ kids.

I just don't understand how personally they take their hate for Michigan. I get that Michigan pulled commits from NJ than OSU did, but they act like OSU is benelovent superpower to them, and Michigan is a mean bully who wants to go out of their way to destroy Rutgers. OSU held embarrassed them last week, yet somehow Michigan will try to do worse, but they can't since "they're no OSU" and it'll be "competitive". It's very weird.
