This article is so instructive concerning the mind of Michigan Man - the entitlement, the arrogance, the delusion, the living in the past. It's all right here:

"Harbaugh's offense features a brutal running game of the sort that even SEC programs dream of fielding."

In fairness, their running game IS brutal. The "cream of the crop" just misspelled "facing" as "fielding".

Honestly, they should just copy Wisconsin in their programmatic approach. The can probably get exactly the sort of players that Wisconsin does plus a few more top-notch skill athletes. The problem is that they'd have to lose the massive arrogance and sense of entitlement to attract kids who bring their lunch pails and that just isn't going to happen. Oh well, I guess they're just fucked forever. Too bad, so sad.

"The university's 40,000-plus students are essentially the cream of the crop...."

"Those who stay will be champions encapsulates Michigan's self-image. Only the best need even apply, but if you enter, you are elite...."

"Michigan's calling cards were fullbacks, wingbacks, tight ends, occasional option, ball-control passing...."

"Michigan's culture is resistant to non-manball strategies...."

"However, an approach that relies on throwing a lot or spreading out opponents ... isn't perceived to match the identity of Michigan. Going around foes is not what Michigan men do."

"If you can recruit the biggest people in the country, why use tactics that allow your opponent to determine the terms? Instead, power over him. Michigan is no exception to this rule. Indeed, Michigan is the rule. (my emphasis)"

"Harbaugh's offense features a brutal running game of the sort that even SEC programs dream of fielding."

"Harbaugh has another advantage over many other head coaches, in that developing quarterbacks is his specialty."

The article begins with this quote: "You can't understand Michigan culture until you take in a game in the Big House." Oh, yes we can! We understand Michigan culture perfectly well, even without ever setting foot inside that dump. We see it every day displayed on message boards, social media, condescending comments from current players, idiotic predictions from former players.... And, of course, in articles like this.

It's right there in the headline:

The Wolverines' insistence on doing things their way was always dependent on Papa Bo producing heirs to his estate. When Jim Harbaugh came home, Michigan saw its idiosyncrasies vindicated.

Their arrogance makes them more concerned with being right than fixing the problem.

They pride themselves on their arrogance

Ergo no positive (for them) changes in sight

Michigan: Why didn't you just... kill me?
Ohio State: You don't fear death. You welcome it. Your punishment must be more severe.
Michigan: Torture?
Ohio State: Yes. But not of your body... Of your soul.
Michigan: Where am I?
Ohio State: Rivalry losses, where I learned the truth about despair, as will you. There's a reason why this place is the worst hell on earth... Hope. Every man who has rotted here over the years has looked up to Harbaugh and imagined climbing to victory. So easy... So simple... And like shipwrecked men turning to sea water from uncontrollable thirst, many have died trying. I learned here that there can be no true despair without hope. So, as I terrorize Ann Arbor, I will feed its people hope to poison their souls. I will let them believe they can win so that you can watch them clambering over each other to stay in the sun. You can watch me torture an entire city and when you have truly understood the depth of your failure, we will fulfill Woody Hayes' destiny... We will destroy Harbaugh and then, when it is done and Ann Arbor is...ashes... then you have my permission to die.

Huge, active alum/fan base, 100+K stadium, top level facilities, money... much as I want Hairball to fail, I’m afraid they’ll find someone who can make it all work, because the opportunity is there.

I get what you're saying but the new coach (looks like how this is going to end) will have the usual unrealistic expectations from the DFBIA. That alone might scare off more than a few candidates.

Sure. Once you get past his stack of rejection letters from Penn, Brown, Carlton, Colby, Bates, Dartmouth, Northwestern, Georgetown, Cornell, Swarthmore, Middlebury, Kenyon, Oberlin and Williams, that Michigan Man is elite as they come.

I really appreciate the subtlety of the dig here: Specifically the implication that Harvard, Yale, Stanford, MIT, Chicago, Cal Tech ... aren't even in a close enough ballpark to bother including.

Michigan's Jim Harbaugh among five college football coaches on hot seat after Week 1

Jim Harbaugh
The Buzz: This may seem like a bit of an over-reaction but Michigan’s performance in a 24-17 loss to Notre Dame Saturday night was so bad that it makes you question the direction of the program under Harbaugh. Just ask Braylon Edwards, who was suspended by the Big Ten Network for his criticism of the team. There’s no denying the enigmatic coach has done a tremendous job bolstering the Michigan brand following the Brady Hoke era, but a 1-5 record against rivals Ohio State and Michigan State as well as a 17-game road losing streak to ranked teams have sent Wolverines fans into a tailspin. This team is loaded with talent and nothing less than a Big Ten title could help Harbaugh avoid eventually getting fired.

I keep reading this and I’m sorry if I just don’t see it. They are still losing to their rivals and bowl games. Hoke still won a Sugar Bowl at least.

There is a 40 point gap in the median SAT score between tsun and Ohio State. There's a 175 point gap between them and Chicago. They're not even the highest public. Berkeley, UVA and GaTech all top them.

Much as you hate Rhodes, and rightfully so, I'm glad the standard wasn't so high when I applied. Not sure I'd have gotten in (had the test scores, but meh grades due to immaturity). Instead, they saw the potential, let me into the nascent honors program, and four years later I was off to an Ivy for law school.
