Another week and another loss for our rival against a B1G opponent. The more things change the more they stay the same for a substandard website to our north.
Khaki boy has lost four of his last five games this season. How much longer can the Michigan Man hold on to the threads of his dream job? Is it time for the administration to crucify their savior? It appears the fans of That Team already have.
How far has the program fallen? Harbaugh became the first head coach of That Team to start his tenure with at least three losses in six straight seasons. The Wolverines have now lost at least three games in nine consecutive seasons. A program first.
Collllllllllllllllllllllecting Those Ls
Going back to last year's game against Ohio State, Harbaugh and Michigan has lost six of the last eight games. The lone wins were against a COVID riddled Minnesota team to start this season and a 3OT squeaker over mighty Rutgers. The losses? The Buckeyes beat the Wolverines 56-27, Alabama won 35-16, Michigan State pulled off the "upset" in East Lansing, Indiana ended a 24-game losing streak, Wisconsin embarrassed them in Ann Arbor and Penn State picked up its first win of the season.
The last time the Our Rival lost four of five games in the same season? 2014.
The last time they lost six of eight games? 2013 into 2014.
Last time they lost three straight games in Michigan Stadium? 2008.
The last time they lost their first three home games? 1928.
The last time they lost to an 0-5 team? Never.
"Who has it better than us?"

Harbaugh, Their Hero
Remember when mgoblog celebrated the hiring of Jimmy Boy with "It's Happening"? Well, this is what has happened, The One Who Wears Khakis is a combined 1–9 against Ohio State and his bowl opponent. The lone win was in his first season against Florida in the prestigious Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl. Since that great victory, the Wolverines have gone 0–9 when playing against the Buckeyes or in a bowl game. They have also been defeated by an average score of 36-26 in those contests.
The One Who Wears Khakis has a losing record against ranked opponents, is 2–13 against Top 10 teams and has accumulated 21 losses in five seasons. He is also 11–16 against ranked teams. To put that in perspective, Urban Meyer was 24–5 against ranked teams and 13–5 against Top 10 opponents as Ohio State's head coach over seven seasons.
So, let's find out how the fans of That Team responded to their beloved squad losing its 21st game under Jimmy Harbaugh.
It was hazardous, but well worth the venture on mgoblog.com to read through the comments in the open thread on mgoblog and the site's game recap. Now you don't have to read all 1,923 comments from the open thread and the 203 comments in the staff article.
As always, the words are theirs. It was difficult, but spelling and grammatical errors were not corrected.
Note: This used to be written as a reminder on how not to respond when your favorite team loses or struggles. Today? Let's just revel in their misery.
TURNING ON THE ONE WHO WEARS KHAKIS
ThadMattasagoblin
Fire harbaugh
Ham
Leave it to Brown and Harbaugh to make an 0-5 team that’s been bouncing back-and-forth between quarterbacks look like an offensive juggernaut.
Bo Harbaugh
The young men come in with their sacks intact. They get neutered by this staff and its impotent coaching.
Nofx1728
Good lord these coaches are clowns. 3rd and 3 run up the middle. Been productive this year
mitchewr
Holy fuck this coaching staff is incompetent.
Spitfire
Back to shitty playcalling
KC Wolve
So hard to watch this shitty play calling. They just insist on wasting downs by running into a stacked box over and over and over and over and over. Plus we even got to see the fucking wildcat in the first drive. I just don't get it.
Swayze Howell Sheen
The staff has failed. The roster sucks, the development sucks, the execution sucks. Nothing about this says anything other than fire everybody.
Michfan777
I wouldn’t expect much from Harbaugh these days. The fucking idiot can’t even wear a mask like any other coach or human.
He’s not there mentally.
UMProud
I wish we had a real running back coach instead of Harbaugh's kid who gets coaching tips from Youtube
ERdocLSA2004
We wonder why Harbaugh can’t figure out the glaring problems with this team. Meanwhile week 8 of the mask boner debacle continues unsolved.
uofmchris2
MOTHER FUCK. I WISH I COULD PUNCH OUR COACHING STAFF IN THE NOSE

Harbaugh and his shitty staff has made me hate watching Michigan again. Fuck this dude he needs to be axed.

jjelliso
Lol. This is the worst coached team in football.
UMProud
Harbaugh makes shitty opponents look well coached and crisp
MichAtl85
Jim Harbaugh will be my least favorite Michigan coach. Brady had some bad teams but seemed to give a shit. Rich Rod was a fraud but that was obvious early.
Amaznbluedoc
All I can say is it’s half time and JH and DB have successfully made me hate M football.
RobM_24
You know it's bad when the run game is actually working, and Harbaugh still can't come within a touchdown of an 0-5 team.
mGrowOld
If this isn't the worst coached Michigan team in my lifetime it's certainly in the discussion.
Nobody knows where to go or what to do when they get there.
Absorbine Sr.
A 0-5 team, coached by James Franklin, and they’re throwing us around like a rag doll.
The Harbaugh era is done.
tigerd
Jim Harbaugh and his merry cast of idiots has literally destroyed this program and reduced it to an embarassing array of bad football foibles. Time to blow it all up. C'mon Manuel you have to watching the same crap the rest of us are.
hammers
This program has been a tire fire since 2006. Let's pump the brakes a bit. The hyperbole is dizzying.
UM Indy
This overpaid clown NEVER has his team fired up and prepared.
JD_UofM_90
Harbaugh would probably put the woman Vanderbilt kicker in the wildcat formation, if she went to Michigan. She looked good in practice...
JTP
Again I’ve said it before if you care about Michigan and have watched this shit show and you want Jim back, who are either friends or related to him.
MichAtl85
Fuck you Jim. You’re a god damn fraud.
Bo Harbaugh
2nd and 1 run. Fuck you Harbaugh. Take a shot pussy
UNI_MaizeNBlue
Open up the offense you dipshits
KC Wolve
Real fucking genius level play call coming out of that time out

Fuck this playcalling
RXwolverine
Is anyone legit enjoying this shit? Lmao why is he still on the sideline? Fire his ass now!
michael honcho
The players don’t believe his bullshit anymore. Fans see a moron who can’t manage a mask much less a football game. Is there really any question that this is over? I mean is there any way we keep this CTE riddled shell of a coach?
Dave B
I actively despise that coaching staff. Fuck those fucking losers.
uofmchris2
Fuck. This. Team. Fuck. These. Coaches.

I'd rather rip my dick off and throw it in the river than say Don Brown or Jim Harbaugh are good coaches.

Don Brown out there re-affirming that he should've been fired at the end of the first half in NJ last week, if not any earlier.

jjelliso
These scrubs gave up after the first first down.
Brian Griese
Omg. -3 on Shibley on the Penn State TD. The D line went to the gaps on their right at the snap and he also went right. FFS, any LB in college should know better.
bluegary
You could tell this team doesn’t give a shit by the way they came out of the tunnel. We need a true leader. We have 7 captains one of them needs to step up and get into everyone’s shit.
Sam1863
Dear God - Have any of the clowns on defense ever played this game before?
marmot
How is Erick All still earning snaps? Granted he caught that one (!!) but has he not shown he's one of the single most inconsistent players on the offense? For a team struggling with identity it's baffling that they keep playing guys who are only consistent in their let-downs.
Harbaugh's Left Elbow
Milton's got his helmet on... we're all fucked.
BlueinKyiv
Joe Milton's fist bumps looked weaker than my grandma's. Sure hope he is more fired up than that just demonstrated.

Jesus. This defense couldn’t stop the 72 Dolphins. And by that I mean the 72 Dolphins as they are in 2020.
Pepper Brooks

Sainristil has been fucking atrocious.

Jesus fucking Christ. Sainistril drops a pass that hits him in the hands, then can’t catch a punt. Why the fuck is he out there?

Last 3 plays for Sainristil: drop pass, drop pass, drop punt...!!
Coldwater
Oh my God, can’t any defensive lineman disengage from a block? I know they suck, I know they should be playing at a directional school. But come on..,make a play
HollywoodHokeHogan
Good thing we got the top recruit from MA. He was just inside the top 600 nationally, but if we ever play a team solely composed of high school players from New England, he’s going to dominate. Plus he tries really hard.
HateSparty
Ross should be moved to a new position. Like on the bench.
bamf_16
My new favorite game to play is, “Where the fuck was Shibley going on that one?!”
FlexUM
Ross is bad. Bad to the point he’d be challenged to
Coldwater
That motherfucker number 45 has to make that goddamn tackle
MS3
Ross and Shibley are two of the worst LB I've ever seen in all my years watching football. They're the type of players we have in Year 6... pathetic

BlueInGreenville
I don't understand this notion that you can't win at Michigan.
Baugh4prez
Can I throw an idea out there? Michigan should call the Fords, negotiate an exit package and have BAUGH become the next coach of the Detroit Lions.
UMVAFAN
Let Tom Brady pick the next coach or at least be on the search committee. He is loyal to Michigan. He’s not loyal to Bo, Carr, Harbaugh or any other Michigan faction. He nearly transferred because of Carr, but through it all, loves Michigan. He also loves football and knows modern football. His opinions and insight should be gold for the athletic department.
vablue
Calling for the firing of a coach shows the classless nature of the main bloggers on this die. It’s one thing for it to be on the board but from a supposed professional writer is disgraceful. You should be thankful you are not held to the same standard as you would certainly no longer have a job.
Gulogulo37
Harbaugh has made a lot of mistakes but it's incredibly unfair to not point out how many guys they've lost this year. They replaced 4 OL, and now they've replaced 4 OL since the beginning of this year. Hawkins, McGrone, Hutchinson, Nico, Ambry, Jackson, Paye. I can't think of a year this bad for injuries.
1408
When playing a team that was pre-season top 10, you need everything to go your way. Some of those spots were so egregious that you have to wonder if the big ten is just out to get us at this point.
ATS_Dominance
Harbaugh is going back to the NFL to win 11-12 games a year and probably play in a couple Conference championships and maybe another Super Bowl or two.
SavatoreQuattro
Harbaugh isn’t getting fired.
My Name is Legions
I'd love to see him coach Detroit, and then get Hafley if not Meyer. And Meyer might...got spurned by OSU and imagine if he gets us last OSU, he will go down as the biggest figure in the rivalry, having won both places.

UMVAFAN
I think a change is needed, but I wouldn’t expect a big improvement unless Urban Meyer walks through the door. I think being a B1G and CFP contender once every 4-5 years is the ceiling for Michigan. OSU is going to be a juggernaut under Day...We’re not the cream of the crop anymore, but should be able to contend twice a decade.

It's amazing how we suck so badly in every phase of the game. Usually even a bad team has one or two bright spots.

I don't know what's worse: our defense or our play-calling.
mitchewr
Answer: Yes
RobM_24
Savvy play design having two recievers in the same window so one defender could cover both. Next level stuff. The wildcat also continues to be a loss of down play.
markusr2007
The real question now is, if even Jim freaking Harbaugh can't make it happen at Michigan, then my God, who ITAF can?
bluegary
Just another embarrassing game for Harbaugh. I sure hope our game with osu gets canceled. They will score 100 against this crap team. I thought they might come out fired up after there big win last week. Guess I was wrong again.
Michrider41
We have a shit defense and shit offense. They look stellar against each other in practice.
RockinLoud
You guys better pray to whatever deity you believe in that the OSU game is cancelled, because it will be the worst, most embarrassing ass beating in the history of Michigan football. UM was lucky Tressel was content to play Tressel-ball instead of keep scoring against RR, they won't be so lucky against Day.

Between Michigan and Stanford, Harbaugh is 78W 43L. He’s not a great coach!
Blue Sharpie
The sad reality we are stuck with is no NFL team in its right mind wants to hire Harbaugh and Ward cannot/will not fire him this year which means at least one more year. Then, what is worse, keeping Harbaugh with only one year left...bad for recruiting? Or renewing his contract and having to commit to another 4 years?

I’ll put my football M gear in a box, tape said box, put that in a bigger box, tape that box...then I’ll put it in the crawl space where that stench can hopefully stay away from my nostrils.
JD_UofM_90
I am convinced that all 22 OSU starters could be out with Covid in a couple of weeks, and this team would still lose by more than 3 scores.
mackbru
Harbaugh was gifted two pretty loaded rosters. He was given plenty of time. With each passing year, the team got worse.
UM Indy
Jim looks like a whiny little bitch in these pictures ... which in fact he is.
NYCBlue
One of the sickening things about Harbaugh’s teams is that they don’t play with any enthusiasm. They take on his personality, which is arrogant and dull.
GoBlueGoWings
He seems like a coach going through the motions. Like he knows deep down he is leaving after this year.
Judge Smails
Without that circus catch by Henning, they don't even crest 100 yards passing. #speedinspace though...

It would be absolutely fucking poetic if Harbaugh and Gattis’ last offensive play at Michigan was a failed 4th down QB sneak.
