The big boys on the block, USC, a team that had treated the Pac Ten like a rag doll for the last decade, hosted Stanford. Jim Harbaugh's Stanford.
Stanford triumphed 55-21, after going for 2 midway through the fourth. It was the "What's your deal" game. A game that shook the Pac Ten and the football universe.
Because Jim Harbaugh was not just some old QB gimmick coach. He was a killer. The kind of guy who would win with character and cruelty and sit upon a throne made of the skulls of his vanquished enemies.
The kind of killer instinct Michigan has needed for decades.
Last summer Harbaugh stormed the college football world with satellite camps. This spring the college football world tried to bite back. Panicked, scared, and exhausted from countless nights spent sleepless after waking in cold sweats from Harbaugh-driven nightmares, they tried to to use a nuclear option to stop a singular football coach. He was in their heads.
They blew it. The sports media world was engulfed in flames. Whole conferences underwent revolts. Ethically questionable football coaches found themselves exposed as lazy millionaires. Even the Federal Government leaned over to check things out.
They were beaten. They walked back everything. The ban was totally abandoned. They came for Jim Harbaugh and lost, utterly.
Jim Harbaugh just took on the SEC and the ACC and won.
Now, the camps are back on. Justice has prevailed.
And Harbaugh is sitting on a throne of skulls.

The words were said, the prayers were read and everybody cried. But when they closed the coffin, it was someone else inside. They came to bury Harbaugh, but Harbaugh wasn't dead, and when the game was over it was someone else instead. The Michigan wolverines put on the gloves of gray, and as the M band played the Victors, they lay the SEC away.
