Open thread: Michigan National Championship celebration @ Crisler
January 13th, 2024 at 8:08 PM ^
This guy is so fucking awkward and I love it.
January 13th, 2024 at 8:11 PM ^
Jenkins can give him a couple lessons in the off season 😂
January 13th, 2024 at 8:08 PM ^
INNOCENT
January 13th, 2024 at 8:10 PM ^
Hypothetically speaking, if Michigan were to win the next dozen national championships this would still be the high water mark. Just special.
January 13th, 2024 at 8:11 PM ^
Every now and then a team comes along that is just special - some combination of talent, grit, motivation, and chemistry. This team has that special spark.
We are all so lucky to have been able to watch them and be a small part of it.
Go Blue!
January 13th, 2024 at 8:13 PM ^
I'm not sure whether to describe this as peak Harbaugh or apex Harbaugh, but I can't look away.
January 13th, 2024 at 8:13 PM ^
JJ with the 100 yard stare to Mikey on this biblical speech by Harbaugh.
January 13th, 2024 at 8:13 PM ^
Jim reciting Shakespeare from memory!
January 13th, 2024 at 8:13 PM ^
Holy cow, impressive
January 13th, 2024 at 8:14 PM ^
Jim giving a Sermon was not on the bingo card
January 13th, 2024 at 8:17 PM ^
I mean...it's Jim Harbaugh. You didn't even get the free space of "Who's Got It Better Than Us?"
January 13th, 2024 at 8:14 PM ^
I just went from 6 to midnight!
January 13th, 2024 at 8:14 PM ^
I was getting Tombstone vibes with the Shakespeare.
January 13th, 2024 at 8:14 PM ^
Love the Shakespeare.
January 13th, 2024 at 8:15 PM ^
Someone must have gotten the word to Devin and Brooke because they stopped talking and it was much better without them.
Of course I post this and they interrupt The Victors!
January 13th, 2024 at 8:15 PM ^
It’s great that they’re airing this instead of the osu hockey game.
January 13th, 2024 at 8:16 PM ^
Wow all those people who had "insiders" that said Harbaugh and JJ were announcing they were coming back tonight
January 13th, 2024 at 8:31 PM ^
That’s why I take everything they say with a grain of salt! Especially the twitter insiders!
January 13th, 2024 at 8:18 PM ^
I was *not* expecting a speech from Henry V from Harbaugh. Awesome.
January 13th, 2024 at 8:21 PM ^
I was. This is not the first time Harbaugh has given this speech.
January 13th, 2024 at 8:19 PM ^
So… are Harbaugh and JJ coming back?
January 13th, 2024 at 8:37 PM ^
solely because of Warde, right--cuz it's not like Jim has consistently expressed interest in returning to the NFL
January 13th, 2024 at 8:26 PM ^
As far as JJ- choosing the "business is finished" shirt and saying "no matter the decision, you're always in my heart," seemed like pretty clear telegraphing of his decision to me.
January 13th, 2024 at 8:19 PM ^
Now I'm convinced both Jim an JJ are gone
January 13th, 2024 at 8:19 PM ^
I am guessing Alabama doesn't quote Shakespeare at a victory celebration!
January 13th, 2024 at 8:28 PM ^
The Bama fan says.. “Who?”
January 14th, 2024 at 7:40 AM ^
don't give a piss about nothin but the tide baby!
January 13th, 2024 at 8:22 PM ^
Should’ve had Moore and Minter speak as well.
January 13th, 2024 at 8:29 PM ^
Why? They are probably leaving also. Oh well. At least we have 2023. Back to the dark times.
January 13th, 2024 at 8:34 PM ^
The negativity from some people is disgusting. No matter what happens I am tending to believe Harbaugh, Minter and the eligible players for the draft that have not made a decision to go pro yet are all coming back, because this is a day for the players to enjoy the spotlight with the fans. Until they announce it, I am saying they are coming back.
January 13th, 2024 at 8:41 PM ^
Jesus fuck can you not just enjoy our first major sports championship in decades? Assistants and players leave, that's life. How can you ask any more of anyone in this program right now?
January 13th, 2024 at 8:28 PM ^
Lol first they’re gone … no no their body language says they’re coming back … no maybe I was wrong… priceless… at least Keith Jackson looks well !!!
January 13th, 2024 at 8:29 PM ^
Is the whole thing available online anywhere? We had it recorded and DIRECTV cut off Corum and Harbaugh :(
January 14th, 2024 at 5:26 AM ^
On YouTube now, but not sure how long it will remain:
January 13th, 2024 at 8:30 PM ^
FWIW I saw a tweet that the betting odds for what NFL team Harbaugh is coaching next year shifted from Chargers as the favorites to "Not coaching for an NFL team" over the past day or so
January 13th, 2024 at 8:35 PM ^
Does anyone have “Harbaugh Retires” on their bingo card?
He has nothing left to prove. And he doesn’t need money. Maybe he’ll get a riding mower and cut lawns!?!?
(Shades of Forrest Gump - yet so Harbaugh!)
January 13th, 2024 at 8:38 PM ^
Or start his own fried chicken restaurants
January 13th, 2024 at 8:40 PM ^
Where he only serves steaks with whole milk.
January 13th, 2024 at 8:40 PM ^
He retires and invests in a new vacuum business with Stallions.
January 13th, 2024 at 8:45 PM ^
You know this means that, "you" knew, right???
January 13th, 2024 at 8:41 PM ^
Or buy a dairy farm and sell whole milk.
January 13th, 2024 at 8:40 PM ^
Money can’t buy championships (looking at you Texas A@M, Cam Ward, Dante, Mr. Treadwell, etc). What we all saw tonight makes Champions!
January 13th, 2024 at 8:49 PM ^
Money can absolutely buy Championships lol.
There just has to be something other than just that. You don't want a team full of mercenaries but a team full of the best players that also care about winning is pretty much the Bama/UGA method.
January 13th, 2024 at 8:45 PM ^
Fantastic show! Loved the crawl at the bottom of the screen, something along the lines of: the Notre Dame-OSU hockey game will air when Michigan is done celebrating.” Yer goddamn right. LOVE that
January 13th, 2024 at 8:55 PM ^
Some others that were pivotal to this season it would’ve been nice to have heard from was Harrell, McGregor, Roman Wilson and Junior Colson.
January 13th, 2024 at 9:15 PM ^
Harbaugh belongs in Ann Arbor. We not only appreciate the idiosyncrasies, but we celebrate them. And such imagination and eloquence would be wasted anywhere else.
January 13th, 2024 at 11:08 PM ^
True, super bowl champion or not no NFL fan base will love him like we do.
January 13th, 2024 at 11:25 PM ^
JH's speech was odd, and it felt odd in the room, but that's everything he does.
The one thing came to mind is that I can't imagine a dude who will go in front of 12,000 people and drop a Henry V monologue from memory is really someone whose career is going to sunset in today's NFL. Maybe in the right locker room or the right franchise, but this is a guy whose NFL vibes seem to have diminished over time, and yet the chatter only seems to increase.
