SimPLLLLLLLe Jim "6-13" Harbaugh (B1G Suspenders McKhakiPants, Cheater Cheater Booger Eater)

This year SHOULD be a major put up or shut up year for Hairball. I imagine though that the scUM fans would try to somehow spin it into not a disaster if they crank out a 8-4 type season. Which would be hilarious to watch.

8-4 would be a real disaster with their schedule. They should only have 4 losable games here: Florida (neutral site), at Ped State (who they creamed last year), at Wisky (a possible trap game), and Ohio State. Their 2nd team should be able to beat Cincinnati, Air Force, Purdue, Sparty, Indiana, Rutgers, Minnesota, and Maryland.

I really don't think it's realistically out of realm. You can definitely throw anything that happened last year out the window considering all of the production they lost.

I'd actually be more surprised if they won 10 games (in the regular season) this year than if they went 8-4. I don't think this is hater wishful thinking either.

Michigan’s spring football excursion to Italy carried nearly $800,000 price tag

While Jim Harbaugh hasn’t quite made the waves he usually does around the college football world this offseason, the Michigan head coach did raise some eyebrows a few months ago when he took the Wolverines all the way to Italy in the spring. The trip coincided with a few days of spring football practice and included a handful of cultural activities that even resulted in a visit to meet the Pope himself. All that fun, games and pizza cost the athletic department a pretty penny as you could expect and this week we learned just how much the total bill was.

“It’s going to come in around $750,000, $800,000,” UM athletic director Warde Manuel said Tuesday, according to the Detroit News. “It will be about $5,000 to $6,000 a person, so it was a great investment. It was just terrific. We pay them through an educational experience like Michigan does all the time. I don’t think about it in terms of paying our athletes but if people want to say we should give something to our students of value, I can’t think of a better way to invest in them for their lifetime and their experience.”
