Beat hawaii.
That's what I think.

Maybe that's the point. I can't wait for Harbaugh to kick ass on the field. Tired of the only ass kicking he gives coming from twitter.
September 1st, 2016 at 11:09 AM ^
You should have been watching tv on January 1, 2016. Soem good ass kicking happened then. Theer were a few other times too last year. This meme is so stupid, in my opinion. His team last year gave far more than received in the ass kicking department.

Beating Hawaii is the start of a championship season. As Bear Bryant said, "You can't go undefeated if you don't win your first game."
We can't change the reality of MSU's recent success. We can diminish their record by creating a better record.

God, you are annoying.

When Harbaugh has a measured response to a shot over our bow.
September 1st, 2016 at 10:03 AM ^
I'm pretty sure his response Oct 29 won't be very "measured."
September 1st, 2016 at 10:39 AM ^
I'm sure this guy has a short memory. Keep up the good work Curtis Blackwell.
September 1st, 2016 at 12:03 PM ^
he's going to drive a stake through the chip on Mike D'Antoni's shoulder and into the center of the field in EL

He can't respond until after we beat MSU

Methinks that WILL be his response...
September 1st, 2016 at 1:12 PM ^
Shouldn't that be "I thinks"?!
/s (just in case)
September 1st, 2016 at 1:42 PM ^
Remember how pissed Harbaugh got after Rutger's comments during that game last year? Went for two etc..? This one in EL should be EPIC.

Honestly, this is probably my favorite Harbaugh quote/tweet/response to date. He knows not to give them any bulletin board material (since they have shown they feed off it so well) so he's staying calm and collected even though you know he's raging on the inside.
Harbaugh is obviously known for saying some pretty bizarre/off-the-wall stuff. I'm really glad in this instance he gave the most political response possible.

I really try to enjoy that podcast. He comes off as though he thinks his readers are not all that intelligent. Really seems to be a poor way to handle things. I like Quinn, he has a personality and knows how to inject humor into what he is doing.
September 1st, 2016 at 10:26 AM ^
See to me it comes off more as exasperation with the more homer fans, which, if you look at it from his perspective is completely understandable.
I think the podcast is realistic and objective and a good counterbalance to a lot of the homerism that is present in a lot of the other Michigan podcasts.
As far as him bringing things down, their latest podcast had him basically prediciting an 11-1 season. I really don't see why he rubs people the wrong way so badly. He's like a English soccer announcer, happy to highlight good play and just as happy to call out bad play, without getting too up or too down about it. I like that perspective and find it valuable.
September 1st, 2016 at 10:37 AM ^
He's fine. I seems to just be so frustrated and I can only imagine the @'s he gets.
September 1st, 2016 at 12:03 PM ^
He comes off as though he thinks his readers are not all that intelligent.
Well for the most part, he's absolutely right.
September 1st, 2016 at 9:59 AM ^
Agree, if you dislike Michigan and have such disdain for our idiot fans, go cover some other team. You're not that great, and you won't be missed. The podcast is really pretty bad.
September 1st, 2016 at 12:05 PM ^
I don't listen to the podcast, but I read MLive daily and don't see anything that suggests he hates Michigan. As for the fans, if you look at the comments that accompany MLive's articles you will get an inkling why he might have disdain or frustration with certain fans. The comments aren't RCMB, but then, what is?
September 1st, 2016 at 10:07 AM ^
To be fair, the submarine is got to be hell for a reporter. This time of year, your editor is probably beating the shit out of you from one end to get something noteworthy, and you total radio silence to work with on the other.
I actually like the MLive Podcast in season. It's another perspective from MGoBlogs and sometimes they make good points Brian and Co miss.
September 1st, 2016 at 10:18 AM ^
While that's true, isn't it pretty widely acknowledged that Harbaugh has given the press way, way more access to e.g. open practices etc. during other times of year? On a total exposure basis I think he's generally been more open than our past few coaches save Rich Rod.

He is definitely not at the level of our MGoBlog staff.
September 1st, 2016 at 10:14 AM ^
He never was very good, but reading that article was painful. He needs to move on to something new, something that inspires him to actually be competent.
September 1st, 2016 at 9:47 AM ^
September 1st, 2016 at 10:10 AM ^
September 1st, 2016 at 1:13 PM ^
And you KNOW they wanted him to get into it. Brilliant!
September 1st, 2016 at 9:48 AM ^
September 1st, 2016 at 9:53 AM ^
I imagine that will drive the MSU folks nuts. The fact that he did not seem to care is obviously disrepect.

Happy to. Michigan has had its ass beat consistently by MSU for years, excepting the last game and 2012, which was a stalemate of ineptitude and basically the "shruggie" emoticon turned to life. I'm not dishonest with Michigan's place vis a vis MSU in the college football stratosphere over the last decade.
But coopting a piece of our program's most cherished traditions and turning it into a hackneyed slogan isn't what a superior opponent does. Declaring supremacy over Michigan is unnecessary because it's obvious. Plus, MSU was in the frickin' playoffs last year. So why are they talking about Michigan at all?
It's because MSU is a pest. Pest-dom is part of its nature.
September 1st, 2016 at 10:07 AM ^
Right up there with the "Kids will be kids" press release regarding Lochte*.
Move along.
*It got the story off the lede, which was in Brazil's interest, and at the same time took a not-too-veiled shot at the 32 year-old Lochte.
September 1st, 2016 at 12:12 PM ^
Calling a program that has beaten us 7 of 8 a "pest" is just insane arrogance. Thankfully, it is not an arrogance that is shared by Michigan's current coaching staff. As things stand, MSU is one of the two big mountains in the way. Harbaugh knows it and so do the players. Deal with it, however much of an affront that is to the reality you wish to accept.
