Please clap.

Happy Birthday, Coach!
December 23rd, 2020 at 2:27 PM ^
Wonder if being a December baby has anything to do with anything? Oh well, HBD JH!
December 23rd, 2020 at 2:21 PM ^
Happy birthday Jim! I sincerely hope that someway somehow you can get it turned around at Michigan.
December 23rd, 2020 at 4:08 PM ^
December 23rd, 2020 at 2:22 PM ^
Ok, take my downvote
December 23rd, 2020 at 2:27 PM ^
Jeez, Montana do you have to shit in every thread? Maybe sit one out.
December 23rd, 2020 at 2:35 PM ^
If we defeat Nebraska on Christmas Day, I will be spreading the Christmas Cheer to all !!
Stay tuned!
Otherwise no bowl game in your 6th year,... yeah, a worst performance than RR or Hoke, yep Harbaugh deserving of firing or very least a lump of coal in his stocking.
December 23rd, 2020 at 2:38 PM ^
Doesn’t MAKING it to his 6th year inherently make his performance better than RR or Hoke?
December 24th, 2020 at 1:41 PM ^
Naw. To this crowd there are “NO EXCUSES!” If they aren’t made happy it’s “UNACCEPTABLE!”
They must be a riot as a boss. “I got a flat tire and my Jack broke, sorry I’m late.” “YOURE FIRED! It’s your sixth year here! OTHER PEOPLE HAVE MADE MEETINGS! THEY HAD TO WEATHER THE COMMUTE JUST LIKE YOU!” “But my record shows good results, and I’m way better than the last two in my position” “NO EXCUSES!”
”daddy I’m sorry I wet the bed, I’m sick and have a high fever”
”NO EXCUSES! You are six years old! Your cousin in Wisconsin doesn’t wet the bed!”

I'm starting to wonder if Faux Aussie relocated to Montana...
(edit @ 2:40) after all, as I check my notepad, "UM fan from Sydney" was one of nine I banned on 9/4/20 overnight after a thread got exceedingly ugly. Montana join date? 9/12.
Hmmmm...
December 23rd, 2020 at 2:37 PM ^
No Aussies allowed in Montana !
December 23rd, 2020 at 4:07 PM ^
i hadn't even noticed that sydney was gone. gee, rob, we're going to have to change your avatar to something like this, but instead of enemy flags it'll be vanquished avatars...

Angry Elf ??
December 23rd, 2020 at 2:27 PM ^
Happy Birthday Coach!
December 23rd, 2020 at 2:30 PM ^
POSBang vs Birthday?
December 23rd, 2020 at 2:42 PM ^
Happy Birthday Jim!
I still find it odd though that he's vacationing out here right now with so much uncertainty, I said it in an earlier OP, I just wonder if he's sneaking in an interview with the Chargers?
December 23rd, 2020 at 3:34 PM ^
Agree. Harbaugh shouldn’t be allowed to spend time with his family during Christmas until he beats OSU.
I kid, of course, call me maybe
December 23rd, 2020 at 3:58 PM ^
You want me to call you so we can talk and become BFF's?
December 23rd, 2020 at 8:51 PM ^
you can't call and be BFF's until you do what you were tasked with the other day: find harbaugh out there right in your backyard and see what the deal is. report back here. then you make your phone call to randall.
EDIT: you did that in another thread. great stuff.
December 24th, 2020 at 2:03 AM ^
Haha, thanks XM!
December 23rd, 2020 at 2:44 PM ^
I wanna bang.
December 23rd, 2020 at 2:48 PM ^
Today’s your birthday. Today’s your birthday. Day. Day.
Happy - happy birthday .... ?????
December 23rd, 2020 at 2:50 PM ^
Happy birthday Coach Harbaugh! Looking forward to getting this version of you back once we start winning and you don't feel so defeated:
December 23rd, 2020 at 3:09 PM ^
I love JMFH. Please come back.
December 23rd, 2020 at 2:50 PM ^
I'm always reminded of when the official account wished him a Happy Birthday during the coaching search and we all lost our minds. That was a fun time
December 23rd, 2020 at 2:57 PM ^
Yeah, that was a big "It's happening!" moment.
December 23rd, 2020 at 2:51 PM ^
Happy Birthday! I hope you get an awesome NFL gig today as a gift!
December 23rd, 2020 at 2:51 PM ^
I wish we had the 47 year old Jim instead. But alas, HBD coach
December 23rd, 2020 at 2:54 PM ^
I got a lot of problems with you, Jim! And now you're gonna hear about it!
Nah. I'm not gonna do that today. Not even on Festivus. Happy 57th, Coach.
December 23rd, 2020 at 3:04 PM ^
Happy Birthday Coach! Here’s to a much better 2021 than your previous seasons!
December 23rd, 2020 at 3:20 PM ^
Happy Birthday coach! Also bang me as my wife's b-day is tomorrow and that just adds to the Xmas pressure of a Dad to also have his wife's birthday on Xmas Eve. Ugh!
December 23rd, 2020 at 3:32 PM ^
Happy Birthday Coach. Thanks for loving Michigan.
December 23rd, 2020 at 3:39 PM ^
Happy birthday Jim, thanks for..... eh never mind.
December 23rd, 2020 at 3:43 PM ^
I always wondered how the presents worked for people that have birthdays around the holidays. I work with someone whose birthday is December 27th and he says they just rolled his birthday into Christmas each year growing up, for example, but I am sure traditions vary. My birthday is in July, nowhere near anything, which makes for no excuses on gifts as a result, which I admittedly enjoy.
Oh, and of course, happy birthday to Jim!
December 23rd, 2020 at 3:53 PM ^
I think most families try to keep the birthday and Christmas celebrations separate, so the child doesn't feel shortchanged. That's how it was for me and other people I've known with December birthdays. (You still feel kind of shortchanged, because you have one week of getting presents during the year instead of two for other people, but it's nice to at least have your own day.)
Having a birthday before Christmas was nice in one respect: I could get some presents early and didn’t have to wait for Santa. Having a birthday the week after Christmas would be worse.
If your birthday is right on the 25th, I’m guessing you’d try to celebrate it on a different day.
December 23rd, 2020 at 6:55 PM ^
My niece’s birthday is on the 25th. They celebrate on her half birthday in June.
December 23rd, 2020 at 3:55 PM ^
My birthday is the 14th, and my parents tried hard to make it separate from Christmas. But relatives and friends really didn’t try...
December 23rd, 2020 at 4:16 PM ^
My daughter is the 12th. Very much like your situation, I and her mom try to keep it separate but most of the relatives do not try at all
December 23rd, 2020 at 5:39 PM ^
Oh yeah, extended family would generally make little distinction between the two for me. Though to be honest, I didn’t really expect them to give me much. (I’ve learned as an adult that it’s actually pretty hard to buy gifts for someone you see like twice a year.) As long as my immediate family respected the difference, it was OK.
December 23rd, 2020 at 5:06 PM ^
I learned a very valuable lesson about this not too long after meeting my current wife. Her birthday is Dec 26th.. she explained to me (probably making sure I was listening) that growing up it sucked because her aunts, uncles , grandparents etc. would just group the two of them together. Then when she got older , no one was in town to go out and drink etc... she turned out ok I guess.. lol. Like you I have a summer birthday in August.. no excuses
December 23rd, 2020 at 6:33 PM ^
My wife's birthday is the 26th. I try to make it a special day for her, but her family gives her birthday gifts on Christmas.... as they are leaving on Christmas day. Probably the worst day to have a birthday.?
December 23rd, 2020 at 7:43 PM ^
Yea the 26th like my wife’s as well, is a tough day for sure. This is my wife’s 40th, and I have tried to make this one as special as I can despite Covid. Trying to do as much as possible . I splurged a little for some gifts that I know she is not expecting. Cant do a whole lot of group type stuff but I do have a surprise dinner for her at her favorite restaurant. Her parents are going to show up there as a surprise from out of town. Hopefully I can at least help her forget about Covid for one day at least. Not how we would originally like to do a 40th,
December 23rd, 2020 at 7:47 PM ^
My daughter turned 5 today!!! We’ve always lived far away from family until recently, so we’d do Christmas and her birthday with my in-laws around Thanksgiving and with my parents when they’d visit the last week of January, and a birthday party with friends/neighbors the weekend before her birthday, and then just the 3 of us on her actual birthday...We try hard to spread it out, a lot easier being close to family now, but earlier it was tough to spread it out
December 23rd, 2020 at 3:45 PM ^
Still remember when he was a freshman on campus. Damn, the time flies. Happy birthday!
