He has had it in better shape than Hoke, my point is he hasn’t quite lived up to the expectation either. He’s the 3rd highest paid coach at arguably the most prestigious football school around and he hasn’t given much to write home about. By my count, in 3+ years he’s only beaten two teams ranked in the top 15.

It's fine. Keep doubting Wisconsin. They absolutely have a shot if only for their defense which is legit. That said, their issue is starting slow. They've been killing teams in the 2nd half. Can't wait until then against tOSU

I like Wisconsin. I don't have anything against them. I would root for them over Bama, Clemson, Miami for sure. I just don't think they are very good.

AxeWeek(tm) is kind of a big deal around here. 13 straight years. Can't be the team to give it up and give up a playoff shot in the same game
Don't take any crap. I hope they aren't looking past Minnesota.

Its a long-shot, but sure, they have a realistic chance to win. The defense will keep them in the game.

Oh I know. @General Malaise just made me feel bad for not defending them. So here I am.I like Wisconsin. I don't have anything against them. I would root for them over Bama, Clemson, Miami for sure. I just don't think they are very good.

Wisconsin is the only team that needs to win their way in. Clemson in there is a joke. They lost to Syracuse and beat 2 ranked teams? One was in Sept, when supposedly those games don't count as much?

Before their bowl game? Man, that's cold.
Oh, wait.....
Rumor is the school had a hologram of Chip Kelley on campus at 9am this morning.

Lol. I would bet on chip going there. UF is a way better job but probably not a better match for him.
He should be able to kill at ucla.

Maybe losing to US was worth it!
It wasn’t but still...

Kelly would make sense. The QB committed to UCLA, from Gorman, and this Amon Ra kid from Mater Dei who is also committed to the Bruins, both look like Oregon type players. Speed speed speed.

Speaking of Mater Dei high school in Santa Ana, they are ranked #1 in the nation and they look it. They just killed powerhouse LB Poly in the playoffs; it wasn’t close. The QB, JT Daniels, looks incredible- he’s only a junior but already committed to USC (like his predecessors Leinart and Barkley.) The Poly QB, also ranked pretty high, is a white transfer from Oaks Christian to a mostly black school- he’s heading to Florida.

if he wants to go to a school that's going to make him look 2x better than he might actually be, Wisconsin is that place
can't remember the last RB who didn't put up insane numbers at UW

MaxPreps show them as 2, but they are probably the number 1 "real" high school. We played IMG Academy, they have more 4 and 5 stars on their team than the entire state of Alabama. $75K a year in tuition for high school. Left tackle is 400 pounds
Some states have prohibited their teams from playing them in the future (it was in a WSJ article I read but can't link to, I think it includes Texas and Georgia). My son said his friends on the team enjoyed playing them, and they kept it respectable.

If by "taking a step backward" you mean graduating 15 of 22 starters and 11 to the NFL draft. Then yes, I agree they took a step back.bigmarc27 said:
Who competes after losing 15 starters? Alabama? Ohio State? Great, thats not Michigan and nobody expects that in his 3rd year.

You must not know the Michigan fans I know. My Kalamazoo family with their “Bo’s Final Season” DVD on loop think they’re on the level of those teams and should have no issue competing. I don’t care either way, I’ve got no strong feelings about Michigan or Harbaugh.

Poly is the largest school in the state, might be the largest in the country, but it is by no means a "mostly black school".timschochet said:

My cousin is a HS coach. Way back, when Harbaugh was at USD, he came to my cousin’s school to watch tape on some prospects.
They were watching film of a Blue Chip QB and Harbaugh kept making comments on how good the kid looked.
”Great arm...look at that footwork...awesome release” Just gushing.
Then, in all seriousness, he says “that kid reminds me of a...of a....of a young Jim Harbaugh.”

my wife's grandfather worked Michigan sidelines for 45 years. Said when Jim was a kid, he was the worsssssssssssst. Just a grade-A doosh of a kid (doosh my word: grandpa would never).
Even at 90 years old he would watch the games with us and get confused at which was Jim and which was John. "Is that Jim? I couldn't stand him. Did I ever tell you that when he was a kid....."

Gotta be honest with you, that’s a pretty good story but I was expecting more out of you than this.

I’ve got a decent Tommy Bowden story...
Senior year, Ludacris is playing the rugby field at Clemson. This is around 2003, so we’re at the height of Ludacris popularity with “Roll Out” and “Move #####” in major rotation on every radio station. Combine that with $10 student tix and we were ready to go. We drive over from the apartment and park at the baseball fields. At this point in time, the coach’s offices were still on that part of campus and as we trek from the baseball lot to the rugby fields, we pass right behind those offices. As we’re walking by we look over about 20ft to our right, and there’s Tommy grabbing something out of his car and heading back in to work. We yell out “Hey Tommy!!” to which he replied “Hey Fellas!! Are ya’ll going to see Delicious!?”
I still love Tommy B.

But that's the best part of watching him.
If I were a ref, I'd make a bad call on purpose just to see him lose it and get another $10,000 fine.
