So, how long before we start hearing about a Michigan push for Jim Harbaugh?

I was thinking that might happen, except for the bad blood that Harbaugh stirred up a while back with his comments on the athletic academics at Michigan. I don't think they'd want him at this point. He done dissed the memory of the almighty Bo.
Harbaugh never misses an opportunity to speak his mind - or - can't keep from running his mouth, depending on which way you look at it.
But Ann Arbor has become accustomed to having a jerk run the football program over the last couple of years. Maybe they could stomach the idea of bringing in a different jerk if he gave them a better chance of winning 80% of their games.

Status alert: Just want to ensure that the world knows that I got my mug on Telemanjaro twice yesterday!
My son's high school team had a playoff game at the mecca that is Cowboys Stadium. During the game the cameras put my wife and I on the screen twice.
Guess I can cross that one off my "Bucket List".
As a non-Cowboy fan, it was great to be able to get into the place for $10. Since it was a high school game, no alcohol, so no temptation to pay $8 for a warm beer. Plus, we got great seats on the 50, 17 rows up.
Beautiful stadium...though I can't stnd the guy, Jones did a very nice job on his stadium.
Sadly, I won't be going back anytime soon, my son's team lost.

I no idea that this happened. Thanks for letting me know. I guess I retract my first comment then.

After what Stanford did to USC yesterday, Jim Harbaugh is going to be even tougher to live with now than he was before. And he already knows full well how to be insufferable.
The Cardinal going for two after a TD in the 4th quarter when they were running away with the game was bush.
I'm glad that Stanford is doing well and competitive again in that league, and I hope Harbaugh stays there a while and builds the program and maybe grows up a little bit himself along the way. If you're at or near the top of the PAC, you're going to be nationally ranked and you can stay put.
