Former Mr Indiana from Avon....was at Michigan and transferred to Illinois. Lovie named him starter. Was curious....were we ever involved with him? Good/bad or anything on him? I do believe we talked about him earlier...can't recall which thread it is in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harbaugh just needs to shut up. Hasn't won a thing while at Michigan. Stat I heard this morning is that UM is 1-14 in last 15 games vs ranked opponents. Win and you have at least some credibility, Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierinbham Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Harbaugh has been getting destroyed down here in SEC country on sports talk radio. Paul Finebaum is having a field day making fun of him. He and Rashan Gary named teams and details to the author of a new book, but asked to keep those details confidential. 300k in cash, poker chips, and loaner cars were some of the things mentioned by Gary. Wouldn't say who, but his final two were Michigan and...........Clemson. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a Harbaugh fan but that stems from some charity work he did with us back in his Indy playing days when I was a new grad. On this subject though. He's dead right and dead wrong. The SEC does do their thing. Problem is Jim needs to quit the yapping until he does one thing at Michigan that makes him earn the $50M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alabama is in class if it’s own obviously then you got LSU, Auburn, Florida? As the next best teams? The BIG is the best league top to bottom. We just shoot our selves in the foot by stacking one division. Once again we have the most teams ranked in the top 25. The SEC also has it made because they play one less conference game.

They murder each other. Kinda like our east but the whole conference. I know we like to discredit recruit rankings but if we look at team rankings over the last ten years there, I'm guessing it's dominated by sec then big. Same with pro draft picks. Has lead every year since 2007. Don't let your fandom cloud you on this. You are on your own. There may be outlier years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like Auburn, A&M, Florida and those other 2nd tier SEC teams gets overrated every year but maybe that’s just me. I think the BIG has definitely closed the gap.

Steubenhoosier Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 Depends on how you define this. I don’t think that any conference or part of the country can compare with the SEC when it comes to passion for college football. Fans in that neck of the woods live football year round. I hate the “SEC-SEC” chants and hate that talk radio is dominated by SEC conversation, but it is what it is. I would love to see football do a conference challenge similar to the B1G-ACC basketball challenge. Head to head is the only way to determine who is the better conference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wrote in to the sports editor of the Birmingham News and received a nice response. My dad then proceeded to waltz into former SEC commissioner Mile Slive's office and propose the same idea over coffee. Love my old man's spunk. It will never happen because top power 5 schools don't want to give up a home game, but great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
