Wards Manuel had no input into the decision for Harbaugh to practice in FL. It's Harbaugh and Hackett. Gene Smith, get your facts straight!

i dont understand the need for a question mark in title to this thread. There is nothing ambiguous about this. Its an apology. When you use the word "apologize" it automatically counts as an apology.

I wasn't crazy about Harbaugh's tweet yesterday day (re: Tattoos).  Crap like that comes back to bite you, especially since you cannot control what 100 football players do at all times.  I think it would be a good touch for Harbaugh to respond to any comment from OSU or MSU with a countdown until the day of either game.  Keep all the talk from our end focused on the field.

I guess you missed the part where Tressel was fired for his lies (about the "tattoos fiasco") and OSU continues to celebrate him, including Gene Smith by allowing him to come speak at OSU.

Harbaugh should just ignore the comments that Smith made about the program?

Maybe G. Smith is hoping Urban invites him on their spring break practice trip next year. After all, who wouldn't want out of Columbus this time of year?.... Any time of year?

This won't be settled until Harbaugh makes Gene Smith eat some petrified dog food, a la Stepbrothers.  Mark my words ... .

Also "greatest rivalry in collegiate football"?  Who talks that way?  (Congrats to Gene Smith on his word-of-the day calendar, but there's no place for such things in college football.)

Smith trying to get a piece of Harbs hard work. So many coat tail riders out there. Go out and generate your own noise, Smith. You look as pathetic as the other head coaches grasping at straws trying to keep up with Harbaugh. You can't do it either.

Shocker...did not see that coming. And I know that will not go over well with the natives...he might be looking for a job soon...maybe that's why he's kissing Warde's ass.

I don't see why he felt the need to apologize but whatever!  Come November it won't matter because there will be no quarter asked or given on either side.
