Harbaugh and Tom Crean
This Friday, Jim Harbaugh will in all likelihood catch the non-conference game in Bloomington between Indiana and Eastern Illinois. Harbaugh's sister Joani is married to Indiana basketball coach Tom Crean. Jim and Tom are in regular contact, whether talking or texting.
I've never been a fan of Tom Crean. I haven't liked the way he operates, and really like Beilein much more. I'm glad that Beilein is Michigan's coach. Having said that, I'm wondering if I've been too harsh on Crean. I wonder if he is competitive just like Jim Harbaugh, doing the same kinds of things Jim Harbaugh does. Do I give a pass to Harbaugh for Crean like behavior because Harbaugh is our coach? Or, does Harbaugh really not like Crean, but he befriends him because Crean is married to Jim's sister? Or is it the case that Harbaugh and I just really disagree on this matter.
Maybe some of you more familiar with Harbaugh and with Crean can comment intelligently on their relationship. Because this is one area where on the face of things, I disagree with Coach Harbaugh.
EDIT: negged myself. A stupid thread and stupid question. Of course you are always going to hate your rivals, and the coaches of your rivals. Still, I learned a little bit about Crean in the thread below. And the reality is that sometimes, coaches get along with rival coaches from other schools, even if they want their own school to always win. Think Bo and Woody.

you will be alright, but I would go back to the MAC and show UM fans the mistake we made when we put you out to pasture.

This is a good topic. What if Harbaugh caught wind that UM fans despise Crean? It's kind of like the icky feeling we all get when we realize that MSU fans also root for our beloved Tigers/Lions/Pistons, etc.
Just odd, and conflicted and all weird feeling inside, smelling of cabbage.

I made Kalua Pork a couple weekends ago and it was outstanding. Just don't overdo the liquid smoke.

how about if he comes over to Michigan basketball as a assistant. Is there any way to like this guy or has he burned the bridge back to the hearts of UM fans?

Never compare Harbaugh to Crean again.

Crean = Dick
Harbaugh = Biggest Cock on the Block
They are related but they are not the same...
