Currently a front page article on ESPN.com with a nice video tribute to the two. Thought it was worth sharing with the board.

Third post for this topic.

Did the other 2 discuss the atrocious, abhorrent use of the split M? Gross...

There was a thread about the Rolling Stone article comparing the two, and another one on Jim landing the cover but this is the first time I've seen this article.
ESPN just posted the article this morning, and it says the physical magazine doesn't come out til Aug 18th.
August 10th, 2015 at 1:52 PM ^
I've seen a post on about the cover of ESPN mag, but no mention about this specific article. Prove me wrong.
August 10th, 2015 at 12:19 PM ^
in a row? Wow.

August 10th, 2015 at 12:46 PM ^
Interesting. This is the only thread I see on this topic. Perhaps someone else can point me in the direction of the other posts? I see nothing on page1 or 2 or the home page about this.

What does this tell us? That Harbaugh makes them nervous. Harbaugh places himself in a rival's presumed area of propriety, refusing to move, demanding a reaction. This is called competitiveness.
I know we've talked about this a lot around here, but I kind of like how it was put here - this is exactly what he has been doing in various ways since he got here and I like that Harbaugh unnerves people around college football. That is what you're supposed to do and he does it so well.

Just read this in the ESPN magazine yesterday.
August 10th, 2015 at 1:16 PM ^
And now I don't have to buy the physical magazine!

The media loves Harbaugh and Meyer. This year's game will be promoted like a Mayweather fight by the media come November. I mean, its August and everyother day there is a piece on Michigan or Harbaugh. If somehow this year's game has bigten championship implications, ESPN just might make it pay-per-view. Joking. But if this era lives up to the hype and expectations, what a great time to be a Michigan fan.

I want to shake the car rental employee's hand who told Coombs they were all out of cars. Bravo, Sir.
August 10th, 2015 at 3:38 PM ^
I think I might hate Coombs more than I hate Meyer. And I really hate Meyer.
August 10th, 2015 at 1:31 PM ^
Harbaugh's Spinal Tap reference. Just another great thing about this man.
August 10th, 2015 at 1:31 PM ^
Harbaugh hates OSU and MSU as much as they hate Michigan. If anything, Michigan now has the edge in "intangibles" over both schools due to how badly Michigan has performed the last 15 years against OSU and the last seven against MSU.
I am looking forward to the next "Ten Year War," but doubt that Urban will stay in the same place that long.
August 10th, 2015 at 1:43 PM ^
I hate Meyer a lot, but don't see how anyone can think he won't be at OSU for the next fifteen or so years. OSU is not a stepping stone to the NFL nor is it one to another powerhouse football program. Meyer is also not an NFL coach and he knows it. I think he is perfectly content coaching the rest of his career at OSU. The guy is going to keep winning (unfortunately), but we have our elite coach now, so hopefully we will start to beat them more often than twice in thirteen tries.
August 10th, 2015 at 3:01 PM ^
Why wouldn't he remain at Florida forever? He flaked out once. He could very well do it again.
August 10th, 2015 at 5:42 PM ^
And Harbaugh flaked out on the NFL. When you put it that way, it sounds ridiculous too.
August 10th, 2015 at 6:22 PM ^
How is it even close to the same thing? Harbaugh's insane owner didn't want him. He wanted Michigan more than any job opening in the NFL. It's not like he made up an illness to save face.
August 10th, 2015 at 7:06 PM ^
Lol at "made up an illness." How could you possibly know anything about his illness? What a bullshit comment. Everytime someone says it.
Harbaugh's insane 49ers owner didn't want him. A bunch of other ones did. He still walked. Or did he flake? It's a stupid argument everytime it appears.
August 10th, 2015 at 1:35 PM ^
Go Blue!
August 10th, 2015 at 1:41 PM ^
Harbaugh may play down the expectations and how he feels about OSU, but make no mistake: that man harbors a deep-seeded hatred for that school. He will live and breathe this entire year for the sole purpose of taking them down.

"Hudson and Warren are Ohio kids. Hudson tweeted a picture of them in scarlet-and-gray gear from the Woody Hayes building. But they have learned enough about the recruiting game to understand that the best team in the land isn't always the best team for them to land on. "I'd rather be on an up-and-coming team," Hudson says. When Michigan hired Harbaugh, Warren's father cautioned him to keep an open mind. "Think about how many kids it's their dream to go to the NFL," Warren says. "And he knows everybody there."
This is why Michigan can experience a short period of mediocrity and immediately bounce back as if nothing was wrong. Parents concerned about their children realize it is important for them to receive a quality education while on scholarship. Not every college football player that desires to go to the NFL makes it to the NFL but those who come to Michigan will have additional opportunities available to them simply because of their degree.
August 10th, 2015 at 2:07 PM ^
The kid's father was saying that Harbaugh knows people in the NFL and could help his players get there. Nothing about education or a degree.
August 10th, 2015 at 5:43 PM ^
You caught that too, I see.
August 10th, 2015 at 1:57 PM ^
Not a big fan of touting conference records. Michigan is the team I root for, but I have to admit, it's way more fun to watch Michigan play against and beat great teams. Late 90s and early 2000s, the BIG was a great conference with weekly brutal tests. It was a lot of fun to watch Michigan play those gauntlets of schedules. With that, I hope that Meyer continues to do his thing at OSU, Franklin gets things moving with PSU, and I guess Dantonio can hang around. Of course, this comes with the caveat that I still want and expect Michigan to beat these teams every year.
August 10th, 2015 at 2:40 PM ^
It's a great article, with a Phrase of the Year nominee. I'm going to run off and try and trademark it! "Dantonio's Scowl of the Disregarded - now with 100% more hate!"
Full quote is the author describing SMSB, where Thomas Wilcher saunters right past Dantonio to Urban Meyer:
He passes Dantonio, who won the Rose Bowl in 2014 and this Year's Cotton Bowl yet still is drowned out by whatever fuss Michigan happens to make. Dantonio's scowl of the disregarded is deepening. Wilcher keeps walking ...
August 10th, 2015 at 2:53 PM ^
After a while, there's nothing more to discuss, at least not in Harbaugh's mind. He grabs the arms of his chair. "Yeah," he says, in an exasperated whisper. "Yeah." He lifts himself to his feet. He makes for the door, talking as he goes. "Not to be rude or anything, but I just want to get back to -- see if we can't get better," he says. "I don't know if I'm getting better right now. I don't feel like I'm getting better right now." Harbaugh walks down the hall. He lifts a fist in the air. "Go Blue!"
Simply a man cut from a different cloth.
August 10th, 2015 at 3:07 PM ^
Harbaugh train! All aboard
August 10th, 2015 at 3:34 PM ^
This article beats the hell out of the Rolling Stone piece, no comparison.
August 10th, 2015 at 4:14 PM ^
"I spoke with Meyer," Wilcher says. "I told him, 'I get texts every day calling me a traitor. I went down to your camp and put on Ohio State s---. I'm from Michigan. My kids are from Michigan. You have to be honest if we're going to continue to have a good relationship.'"
I love it. This is a man who is doing what he has to do because of the position he is in . . . but his heart isn't in it.
Ohio State s--- indeed.
August 10th, 2015 at 5:49 PM ^
What's the big deal with Harbaugh? Talk about overhyped, he hasn't coached a college game in a couple years and just recently left the 49ers in an awful position.
August 10th, 2015 at 7:27 PM ^
of the troll...
August 10th, 2015 at 9:38 PM ^
The Jigg is up.
August 10th, 2015 at 10:00 PM ^
The big deal is this is Meyers last year at Ohio. He is over-due to go to the hospital.
