Not quantifiable yet you just did your best to quantify it. Sheesh. Thanks for the fun ‘new guy’.

Ive never been in a locker room and heard the word “winner” once. I’ve heard worker hundreds of times. Winner is a lazy word for people who don’t care to see what goes into it.

So keep using it. Please. It makes you look like a fool.

in the last two years they seem to have gone to a status where people feel we are never going to beat them. we historically have split with them and some time pounded them. many times when we lost big in AA,, we had key injuries including QB. What suddenly changed?

three years ago there were people in the UM crowd wanting Harbaugh replaced.
We all overreacted to the Covid year. By we all I mean all of college football. Jim made 2 big mistakes early in his tenure that he rectified in 2021. He fired Don Brown and he nuetered Josh Gattis. He stopped trying to BE Ohio State (like James Franklin wants to do at PSU) and instead built his team specifically to beat both of them. Its worked and its probably going to work this year.

I agree but will add Michigan has done a great job recruiting elite players on the DL and we haven’t. Harbaugh is also a better GameDay coach than Franklin and knows how to exploit weaknesses.

I agree they do have a better internal D line. I will say their hubris never changes. We could beat them this year and their cult would still act like they won.

Better line play on both sides where UM lacked for years. I laugh at people now considering him a genius when 3 years ago the UM faithful wanted him out. Fans are fickle....he's had better line play and better skill talent. They still have better line play, but last year this genius that people now have on a pedestal tried to become a passing team against UGa instead of sticking to his teams identity and it cost his team a MNC. He's a good coach, but it's odd how many PSU fans now have him on a pedestal as it took him years to do anything. PSU is light up the middle on D and it will be their Achilles heel until it's addressed.

Bingo! They not only beat them....they humiliated them.
Yes, it's quite a bit about Michigan's resurgence but them beating OSU also has a lot to do with OSU's putrid defense the last few years. I believe OSU had the lead at halftime in last year's OSU - UM game and, true to form, collapsed. They led by 14 points in the 4th quarter against Georgia and again, their defense choked and collapsed. I believe Day has lost a total of 6 games and in everyone of them the finger can be pointed at the crappy OSU defense - plain and simple

Finebaum thinks Harbaugh bolts for the NFL first chance he gets and says he’s clearly in the NCAA’s crosshairs.

You have to take ole Paul’s comment with a grain of salt, because he has a real hard on where Jimmy is concerned. Finebaum has had Harbaugh out the door for one reason or another for years. However in this case he’s probably correct.
