MNF: Who are you rooting for?

Submitted by aaamichfan on
So tonight's Monday Night Football matchup is Rams-49ers, which means everyone here will be drooling at the TV over a coach who isn't ever going to come here. With that being said, who are you rooting for? I'm sure many are rooting for the Rams, simply because the more games Harbaugh loses, the better the chance of him being fired. My guess? 49ers 31 Rams 17

I've seen the Cards and the Blues but have never seen a Rams game and went down a couple weeks ago and saw STL and Dallas.

They couldn't even sell out the place for Dallas. And Dallas probably had 30% of the crowd atleast.

If I had to guess I would say STL will be on the move to LA soon

Ram's uniforms, too---those are like the ones they wore when I was a kid. 

Back then, I was as much a fan of the Rams as I was of the Lions, plus my favorite QB, Roman Gabriel, was a Ram.  And although it's a completely different shade of blue, one of the reasons I liked those Rams of the 60's so much was that their uniforms somewhat reminded me of Michigan's, even though I believe the Rams wore home whites most of the time during that period, only breaking out their blue jerseys occasionally on the road when playing against another team (such as Dallas) that used home whites.  The yellow pants, I believe, weren't used until the 70's.  Here's a picture of Gabriel:

Anyway, besides rooting for the Rams for that reason, a loss by the 49'ers might help our chances at Harbaugh. 

BTW, don't forget to root for Chuckie to say something that gets him fired and considering going back to coaching---remember, back in HS, one of his stated goals was to someday be Michigan's Head Coach.

I could care less about this game for the "Harbaugh factor" and more just because it is a football game on a weekday I can enjoy after a rough work day. 

I'll root for the Niners, though.

Hope he wins out, gets his owl, and comes home for a new challenge.

Jed York is a dildo. I can't see him taking orders from the NFL's newest member of the lucky sperm club.

Niners.  If I thought it'd help Michigan for the Niners to lose, I'd pull for the Rams.  But Harbaugh's future in San Francisco has more to do with front office than results on the field.

I have a policy to never root for teams from California when there is no vested interest to do otherwise.

 

But what I will say about Harbaugh not coming to Michigan is that speculation has been swirling for weeks and he hasn't made any comment at all.  At least his brother has said something to the press about his support for Brady Hoke. Couple that with tabling any contract talks until the end of the season (Just like Scherzer for the Tigers), why can't we speculate? Or hope?

I mean seriously who would ever think he would even consider it right? His Dad and Bo were great friends. Bo was probably his biggest hero. He grew up around Michigan football as a kid. He was a hero as a QB at Michigan. He has had great success at quick turn arounds at big time programs in college. He has had success in the pros. He could win in college with a skill level advantage with the players of his choosing. He could take a program that is under performing and has good talent in league that would not put up much resistance. He could negotiate his own terms. Why the fuck would anybody ever think there is a chance he would even give it a look?

That ship sailed a long time ago. Especially with Dave Brandon being a dead man walking, there is no chance we are going to bring in an AD with the cache to make it happen. DB was probably the only person who could make a "Harbaugh to Michigan" deal happen........

So, has belittling the people who want Harbaugh to be Michigan's coach become, like, the hipster activity of this board?

"Dude, I so wanted Harbaugh to come here in 2010, but it would be so lame now."

Nah, I mean it actually would be great if he became our coach. However, you get all of these idiots saying, "Fire Hoke because Harbaugh is coming!", as if it's some type of foregone conclusion. This type of thinking has screwed us the last two coaching searches.
