Michigan wearing 'Michigan vs. Everybody' beanie in response to Jim Harbaugh suspension

Michigan are the bad boys of the College Football world: embroiled in scandal and going on the offensive vs. accusers and authority institutions.

Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh was suspended by the Big Ten for the program’s remaining regular season games on Friday, despite urges from the school not to take what they deemed premature punishment. Alas, it’s Saturday morning and Michigan and Jim Harbaugh have lawyers fighting an explosive legal battle while the actual football team is set to kickoff in their biggest game of the season at Penn State… and without their head coach.

So, amid the chaos, Michigan’s players are rocking some statement beanies in cold State College. In the warmups, guys are rocking hats that say “Michigan vs. Everybody.”

Check out the decent look Adam Rittenberg was able to get at Blake Corum’s beanie a couple of hours before kickoff vs. the Nittany Lions:

Charles Woodson makes strong statement on Harbaugh suspension

After the craziest week of news yet regarding the Michigan sign stealing saga, former Wolverine Charles Woodson is over the whole ordeal and had some choice words for the scandal altogether during his appearance on Saturday’s Big Noon Kickoff.

The latest huge development occurred Friday when the Big Ten announced a suspension of Jim Harbaugh, banning him from attending the team’s final three regular season games while allowing him to coach in the week of practices leading up. Woodson let it rip on how he really feels about the scandal as a whole: “Am I mad? I’m only mad because I think the whole thing is bullshit.”

When looking into the details on the scandal, Woodson just can’t seem to wrap his head around why Harbaugh is facing such steep penalties when he doesn’t appear to be involved in the sign-stealing in any capacity.

“Well, I just listened to all of the implications, and it seemed like none of the implications implicated Harbaugh. It only tells you about Connor Stalions and what he did. And I don’t know if he as a rogue agent, if he was out there doing this all on his own.”

Woodson continued, admitting he’s not sure whether Stalions was a mastermind or not, but he certainly hasn’t seen any evidence to date that Jim Harbaugh is directly involved with the scandal.

“In my humble opinion, I do not believe that Harbaugh knew what this young man was doing. Now, was there someone on the staff who Stalions was talking to that knew and was maybe taking some of these signs? I don’t know that, and I can’t say it with certainty, and the NCAA didn’t say it with certainty, and Tony Petitti didn’t say it with certainty. So nobody can say that Harbaugh knew.”

To him, if the issue comes down to one staffer filming sidelines, that’s just not something worth derailing a season over.
