Harbaugh is in for a LONG year

[WalterWhite]

Congrats to Michigan and their return to elite status in college football under Jim Harbaugh

[MLD Woody]

No one expected Michigan you return to "elite status" week one, year one of Jim harbaugh.

If you want to make jokes around straw men, be my guest. It only makes you look like a dumbass...

It took Urban Meyer 25 games to get his first loss at Ohio State...

It took Jim Harbaugh 1 game to get his first loss at Michigan...

Good point, LoL @ Michigan!

[gftChris]

Wow, Michigan's QB is bad.

If you honestly think 3-9 you're an idiot, just FYI. I know the majority of you on here are such biased Buckeye fans you can't make very many rational statements... but 3-9 is just Retard.

Maybe.....but 6-6 would be a goal for them to be considered good at this point.

I gave them going 8-4. I was expecting them to lose this game

The first and last interception had a lot more to do with a true freshman WR making freshman mistakes. Rudock definitely made mistakes, but the while passing game clearly needs more time together.

You should say you will be happy with 6-6....because you should be happy with 6-6 vs. what it could be.

Ok? Harbaugh also lost his first game at each of his college stops. No one is expecting this turnaround to happen immediately.

It's also pretty obvious Meyer took over a probably more talented team with definitely better past coaching. We've been all over the place, you had one bad year of Fickel.

We lost the first game, by 7, on the road at night against a good team, with a -3 turnover margin. And it was only 7 points.

What do you think "what it could be" is? Most people are putting the bottom as 6-6, with 8-4 a reasonable expectation.

8-4

I don't see 8-4 for michigan. I think 6-6 is realistic

[MLD Woody]

I am pretty sure we'll do better than 6-6. That's basically our floor.

Right now, your floor is technically 0-12.

I just talked to a Michigan transplant here at work. She thinks they go 7-5 this year, Harbaugh gets his recruits (no timetable on that), then they're "unstoppable."

[The Cysko Kid]

I think harbaugh is a good coach but overrated. I think his appeal is overrated, his coaching ability is overrated and his supposed winning reputation is overrated. I know woody will become apoplectic with rage over that but I'm not saying that only because he's at Michigan now. I would have told you that about him in San Francisco too. At stanford he was under my radar, but is it possible Andrew luck had a lot to do with his success there? I think it is.
