I saw a report that claimed Harbaugh my be heading for the Rams.  I find that hard to believe, but stranger things have happened.

If he does, it may be after the next sacrifice coach is done.

I'd be surprised if Harbaugh left Michigan, but I suppose for enough money a professional team could lure him away from his reported dream job.

I'd be surprised, too,actually.  Harbaugh strikes me as the kind of guy who would get off on being an "institution."  But let me paint you a picture: Michigan loses more than it wins against Ohio State, gets its head kicked in by 'Bama the one time they do make the playoff and the loyal press starts to grumble a bit when he verbally slaps them around after some tough losses.  All this is contingent on whether the next coach of the Rams and ownership can agree on another new franchise quarterback and beef up the roster at the outside skill positions.

From what I'm hearing, Harbaugh's getting a lot of pressure from the boosters.  I think that pressure has more to do with not beating OSU than anything else, especially this year, when I think he had the best team on the field during the OSU game and that lose cost them a shot at the national championship.

Michigan are idiots if they run him away.

I can see him being pissed about the playoff, or officiating, or anything else, but the boosters?

I cannot disagree with you on this.

The part about John Ross was hilarious

"Great play by Browning"


The Johnathan Allen segment to the Superman theme was funny, too

"He was the best player on the best team in college football. That normally wins you the Heisman, but defense is confusing."

I watched Allen launch himself live.  It was crazy when I saw it and got crazier after they replayed it.  He should be special at the next level, too.

Any chance the Browns will change their name and rebrand themselves?
