Inside Michigan Football Maryland edition (interesting Harbaugh quote)
9:28 mark Jansen asks Harbaugh what his message to the team was after the game. Harbaugh responds “Beat State.” YES!!! This is what I’m talkin about. Something tells me JH might not let off the gas pedal this year.

I bet he hates those rape enabling, PED using, woman beating fuck faces more than we do.
November 3rd, 2019 at 9:52 PM ^
I was hoping he would have said this....
November 3rd, 2019 at 10:30 PM ^
I have never considered a decisive win against a hated rival as analogous to an anal rape. Never. That's a cognitive wavelength that this sports fan simply does not understand or sympathize with.
November 4th, 2019 at 10:07 AM ^
how about analogous to kicking in the anus? that works too.
November 3rd, 2019 at 9:53 PM ^
Well, as much as we do. As much as anyone does.
November 3rd, 2019 at 10:15 PM ^
Of course he does. He flat out called Dbagtonio a liar concerning last year's pregame bullshit.
FYS!!!! ???
November 4th, 2019 at 8:16 AM ^
MSU coaches doing the boo woo crying baby face to his wife might also play a role.
November 4th, 2019 at 8:32 AM ^
Hold my beer....
November 3rd, 2019 at 9:26 PM ^
It’s the only rivalry we have a leg up in right now. Hell yeah beat state.
November 3rd, 2019 at 9:29 PM ^
Did you miss last week's beat down of ND while strains of CCR's 'have you ever seen the rain ' floated wonderfully through the big house?
November 3rd, 2019 at 9:31 PM ^
We don’t play them for 14 years, not a rivalry unless you play every year.
November 3rd, 2019 at 9:32 PM ^
Do you consider Chicago a rivalry?
November 3rd, 2019 at 10:52 PM ^
That would be Maroonic! But yes I do!
1905: Chicago 2, Michigan 0
Chicago won the 1905 meeting of the rivals by a score of 2 to 0. The game, dubbed “The First Greatest Game of the Century,” broke Michigan’s 56-game unbeaten streak and marked the end of the “Point-a-Minute” years. The 1905 Michigan team had outscored opponents 495 to 0 in its first 12 games. The game was lost in the final ten minutes of play when Denny Clark was tackled for a safety as he attempted to return a punt from behind the goal line. Newspapers described Clark’s play as “the wretched blunder” and a “lapse of brain work.” Clark transferred to M.I.T. the following year and was haunted by the play for the rest of his life. In 1932, he shot himself, leaving a suicide note that reportedly expressed hope that his “final play” would atone for his error at Marshall Field in 1905.
It's serious stuff this football.
November 4th, 2019 at 1:04 AM ^
Don’t respond to trolls.
November 3rd, 2019 at 9:43 PM ^
Michigan didn't play them every year before. They played for 10 years and took 2 years off.
November 3rd, 2019 at 10:19 PM ^
If you had said ND is no longer a rival, I could understand your opinion. A 14 year gap is a long time to go between rivalry games. But, for over 3 decades, UofM/ND was a fierce rivalry. Rivalries are built on history, and these two teams are connected through history.
November 3rd, 2019 at 10:27 PM ^
It was good while it lasted, but alas it is no more. I'd go so far as to say scheduling a home and home more than a decade out is a cruel joke. Especially considering how eager Michigan has been of late to buy out contracts.
November 3rd, 2019 at 10:31 PM ^
I don't believe it's going to be 14 years. We'll schedule at least one home-and-home before then.
November 3rd, 2019 at 10:22 PM ^
Maybe not every year, but every couple of years. But I agree, in 14 years there will be hard core ND and Michigan fans who won't even remember the game played in 2019. There will be freshmen sitting in the student section who were only three or four years old the last time UM and ND tilted. That is no more a rivalry game than playing UCLA every other decade.
November 3rd, 2019 at 10:05 PM ^
According to the self loathing Michigan fans and Spartys Michigan's rivals are:
1) Sparty
and
2) all schools that beat Michigan in the most recent contest between that school and Michigan.
It seems ND fits neither criterion and hence will not be considered as a rival for us.
November 3rd, 2019 at 9:30 PM ^
Did anyone ever tell you about our rivalry with Notre Dame?
November 3rd, 2019 at 9:35 PM ^
Is that how you view ND as a rival, I consider it a one sided agreement we play sometimes.
November 3rd, 2019 at 9:37 PM ^
Yes, I most certainly view that as a rivalry. Apparently you don’t? Enjoy the ivory tower island in your own mind...
November 3rd, 2019 at 9:38 PM ^
Man try not to get so easily offended. I guess I can’t differ with your views. Isn’t that allowed any more.
November 3rd, 2019 at 9:43 PM ^
Of course you are entitled to your own view; it is not our fault that your view on the Notre dame rivalry is categorically dismissed on this board.
November 3rd, 2019 at 11:13 PM ^
Sez the poster who was easily offended when EVERYONE differed from his view.
November 3rd, 2019 at 9:37 PM ^
Define the term football rival. For extra credit, cite credible sources.
November 3rd, 2019 at 9:44 PM ^
Rivalry definition: if a child is born today, and raised as a Michigan fan they won’t know who Norte Dame is as a Michigan opponent for 14 years. How do you define rivalry.
November 3rd, 2019 at 9:58 PM ^
a long-standing football opponent with whom you have a deeper connection and that connection includes both respect and some (hopefully healthy) emotion and extra desire to overcome that team.
how'd i do?
November 3rd, 2019 at 10:04 PM ^
Connection, ok. The future is ahead, no need to look behind.
November 3rd, 2019 at 10:25 PM ^
Rivalries are predicated on the past. History is literally what defines them...
November 3rd, 2019 at 11:11 PM ^
This is the stupidest thing I've read today. Rivalries are according you, based on the future?!
November 3rd, 2019 at 10:00 PM ^
The Notre Dame rivalry is a generational thing. People who aren’t old enough to remember Lou Holtz vs Bo and Mo aren’t going to put it on the same level. In the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, Michigan / Notre Dame was a nationally-relevant rivalry game.
November 3rd, 2019 at 10:30 PM ^
I don't know. For anyone under the age of 50, ND has been nearly an annual opponent throughout their fandom.
November 4th, 2019 at 2:52 AM ^
Sure. But for anyone under the age of about 30 -- for reference, I'm 42 -- those games weren't meaningful at the same level The last time both Michigan and Notre Dame were ranked in the top 10 when they played was 1994, but from 1989 to 1992 it was true each year. That's how you build a rivalry. (Also: Notre Dame won four years in a. row from '87 to '90, so suffice it to say there was some real angst there. :)
November 3rd, 2019 at 11:49 PM ^
Was just about to say, I'm a younger guy that grew up watching Michigan football from early-mid 2000s onwards. In my lifetime I'd argue Penn State has been a more meaningful rivalry than ND, but that's probably another thread in and of itself
November 4th, 2019 at 8:34 AM ^
I get the cesspool you live in sucks but please go back to it, RCMB. Isn’t football season over for you? It is basketball season.
November 3rd, 2019 at 9:29 PM ^
NO MERCY!
BEAT STATE!!
November 3rd, 2019 at 9:37 PM ^
we need to hang 100 on those fucks. . .
Beat State
November 3rd, 2019 at 9:44 PM ^
100 per half...right?
November 3rd, 2019 at 11:12 PM ^
100 per quarter
November 3rd, 2019 at 9:57 PM ^
Do not want bye. Full steam ahead.
November 3rd, 2019 at 10:07 PM ^
Looks like he's asking for a supervisor.....
November 4th, 2019 at 3:51 PM ^
I will personally pay that tech's tuition if he can pipe that in over the loudspeaker . . .
November 3rd, 2019 at 10:00 PM ^
This is gonna be a long 2 weeks.
Blue better come out smokin' 11/16.

Why is this an interesting quote?
November 3rd, 2019 at 11:44 PM ^
Because you touch yourself at night.
