Pressure is on Jim Harbaugh after losing another big-time Michigan recruit
Dan Wetzel

In June of 2018, just days after finishing seventh grade, Dante Moore attended a one-day University of Michigan football camp that is usually reserved for high school prospects. He had been invited by coach Jim Harbaugh, who’d heard of his prodigious talent.
Dante’s father, Otha, told the Detroit Free Press at the time that he was surprised but thrilled at the request. He was a lifelong Detroiter and, as his son would declare, a “die-hard Michigan fan.” So die-hard, in fact, that Otha sports a shoulder tattoo of the Michigan logo urinating on the Ohio State logo.
Dante Moore was just a 13-year-old middle schooler but it took just a few drills for Harbaugh to extend him a scholarship offer.
That offer, the first of dozens to come from across the nation for Moore, made headlines. Michigan is recruiting a seventh-grader? Harbaugh, however, spent 14 seasons as a NFL QB and later coached Andrew Luck and Colin Kaepernick. He knew what he saw.
So began the relationship between Moore, who would go on to star at Detroit King High School, and Harbaugh, now entering his eighth season at Michigan.
The youthful offer turned Moore into a folk hero locally. It is a testament to himself, his family and his work ethic that he developed not only into one the top-10 recruits in the Class of 2023 but someone hailed for his poise, leadership and maturity.
All American player; All American kid.
Just not a Michigan Man.

DFBIA is back to thinking "nothing is wrong" and "momentum is building" Because they got a OL and DL that come in at #283 and #298 overall nationally.
Those are their top recruits at those positions. That's the big difference between them and the big guys. Ohio State's top OL and DL currently are #42 and #53 overall

First dude reports that *ichigan didn't get some recruit that they wanted. (I'm not a recruiting dude - I'm guessing there's a thread about that, already. But that's not why I posted that link.)
Responses follow that "Meh - we probably weren't going to get him, anyway."
Then one dude comes up with "we're still the all-time winningest team. Ohio State is just trying to catch up to us":
Responding directly to that nerd:
We've been saying that for a while, right?
That's where the fun explodes.
I like the guy who says, "There weren't that many games played in the early years, Genius."
*ichigan was 19-9-1 before Ohio State played their first game.
According to Wikipedia, *ichigan has 976 wins. Ohio State has 944, but I'm guessing that isn't including 12 wins for 2010. That gives *ichigan a 20-win lead.
Up to, and including, 1904, *ichigan got 141 wins.
Ohio State had 73 wins through 1904.
(I think someone said that 1904 was the first year the forward pass was legal? Or the last year it wasn't?)
If we want to include 1905, *ichigan jumps up to 153 wins and Ohio State to 81 wins. How many BP regulars were alive in 1905?

Any thread that mentions Ohio State quickly turns to the comedy of gloating about wins in the early 1900s or the even more hilarious crap of "its been 900 whatever days since Ohio State beat Michigan" completely ignoring that they ducked the 2020 game with the "COVID" excuse. They now have the delusion that "well we woulda beat them in 2020 because we had almost the same players that we did in 2021"

Brushing the recruiting difference off with "WELL SO WHAT WE BEAT THEM LAST YEAR" is also great.
They really do mistake the 1 win and 1 conference title out of 7 times under Harbaugh as now being a trend rather than a once in every so many times stroke of favorable circumstances for scUM
I think Harbaugh mostly avoids going back on the hot seat this year due to their comical schedule. They will brush a 8-9 win season off as not a failure or return to the normal under Harbaugh, but "well we lost all of our great players and our coordinators so it was bound to happen"

What happened to my ¤cash?
Charlie Brown had Lucy to pull the ball from him. They have their head coach in the staring role of “Lucy.”
