In other news, my followers on Twitter (several post here) have held me to this: if he's hired, I will buy the same cheap ass pleated khakis that Harbaugh buys from Walmart (yeah, yeah) and wear them for every single game he coaches at Michigan, if he is hired. Even if it's 80-plus degrees.

We look like a tire fire to the rest of the country. This is making its rounds on Twitter and the interwebz. What an absolute joke.

The worst part of it is the total pity being shown to us by our rivals.  Genuine pity.  They can't even bring themselves to gloat.  

Like all the people who used to hate Mohammed Ali but go easy on him now because they just feel sorry for him in his pathetic state, a frail shell of his former self.

I don't think everything he has done has been bad. I like how he has done things to make Michigan Stadium accessible to everyone - Hockey, Soccer, Movie nights.



I think if he would even tone down the making everything into the Michigan Experience, he would be a good ad. If he could pull back on the reigns with all the gimmicks he would be great... Granted, he's been the ad during our worst time of football in history.

Burn it down.

Burn it all down. Fire everyone. The athletic department has become a laughing stock. A coworker described it best today as that Michigan seems to care about everything but the football games.

Confirmed that the promotion was real.  $150 face value (and two Cokes!) for $3.  Damn shame what this football program has become.  How can Brandon walk with his head held high?  He should be apologizing and contemplating seppuku.
