At first I thought that having Jim Harbaugh in the Big Ten and coaching Ohio State's chief rival would be fun and cheeky, kind of like a Mike Leach that's obsessed with milk instead of pirates.
But no! It has turned out to be depressing and bad, because Harbaugh's Michigan teams are (usually) every bit as malaise-y and boring to watch and follow as every other incarnation of the Wolverines since the turn of the century. Is it possible they'll turn it around and become a bonafide threat to Ohio State? Sure, anything is possible. It's possible that I'll rescue a rich Swabian duke from a well and then get invited to live in his castle where his many servants shower me in gold coins, but I doubt it as much as I doubt Harbaugh turning Michigan football into something nationally relevant.
