Jim Harbaugh is right. Hate has no place in the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry.

Love thy neighbor, right? Even when the guy across the property line complains about living next to corn-fed hayseeds. Even when his directions for finding your city includes “North until you smell it, west until you step in it.”

“Grateful to be tested against this opponent at this time,” Harbaugh said. “It’s Thanksgiving … there’s no need to hate.”

Fair enough. The Michigan coach made his point.

As for a little schadenfreude? Absolutely. The Game is nothing if not a chance to revel in the misery of your opponent.
