$4.99 for 3 pounds, and the Ann Arbor Meijer delivers.
I'm dead serious. Can we get 100 of us to each have one of these delivered to tsun football offices? 300 pounds of potato salad shows up one day next week, and we're making the national press.
I'm in.
I’m in as well

Wrong glass, Sir.
If we're all serious about doing this, I'd say a matching fifteen clams or bones or whatever you call them donation to BP should be in order. So, it'd be $30 all in.

Farm me out. It's worth it.
I’m in! Is there an extra salt(y) version of said potato salad? If not, I’ll just add some Morton’s table salt to the order.$4.99 for 3 pounds, and the Ann Arbor Meijer delivers.

Wrong glass, Sir.
I'll just use a normal credit card. What the fuck are they going to do about it? It's not a crime, and if they have any sense of perspective, they'll donate all the potato salad to a food pantry and get some good pr over it.

Michigan's Jim Harbaugh testy after his fifth consecutive loss to Ohio State
After Ohio State cruised to a 56-27 win over Michigan on Saturday, coach Jim Harbaugh took exception to questions about where the biggest gap is between two programs that seem to be further apart than ever.
Ohio State beat Michigan for the eighth straight time -- the Wolverines' longest streak in the series -- and Harbaugh dropped to 0-5 against his team's biggest rival. In their past two games in the series, Ohio State has scored 118 points, leaving Michigan with few answers in the aftermath.
When asked whether the biggest gap involved talent, preparation or coaching, Harbaugh responded, "I'll answer your questions, not your insults."
Pressed again about the biggest gap, Harbaugh said, "They played really good. They played better today."
Harbaugh refused to give much else in response to his team's struggles to beat Ohio State, saying only, "I thought our team was well prepared. I thought they were playing good football. I thought it was a good football fight, and it got away from us today. Give them credit for playing well."
After another question about how much he personally wants to beat Ohio State, Harbaugh offered, "We really want to win the game. Yes."
Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields believes something else might be in play.
"We take it more seriously than they do," Fields said. "Like (strength coach) Mickey Marotti said, 'We're preparing for them next year right now.' It just means more at Ohio State. That's pretty much the big reason.
"I know a few players on (Michigan), and I just know the things we do in terms of workouts and how serious we take it at Ohio State. So, talking to those guys, and getting their perspective on things, I definitely see we take it more serious."

In Defining Moment, Jim Harbaugh Folds Again
Jim Harbaugh’s arrival in Ann Arbor in 2015 was greeted as the dawning of a new era.
A Michigan Man who learned at Bo Schembechler’s right hand and then turned into a Super Bowl coach, Harbaugh was touted as the perfect fit for the Wolverines’ program.
He came preaching the kind of ball-control offense and hard-hitting defenses that brought Schembechler so many wins.
After suffering a humiliating 62-39 loss at Ohio State in 2018, Harbaugh seemingly took steps to stop living in the past.
He brought in new offensive coordinator Josh Gattis to install a new attack based on “speed in space.”
That’s a concept that’s been popular among the nation’s best programs for more than a decade, but which was greeted as a revolutionary idea in Ann Arbor.
Saturday, Harbaugh had a chance to make a statement and change the national perception of his program.
Yes, he had wins over rivals Notre Dame and Michigan State this fall, but Harbaugh’s Michigan won’t ever become what Wolverine fans expected until he can beat Ohio State.
For most of the first half, Gattis’ high-flying attack was doing its part to make it happen. They won the toss, chose to receive the opening kickoff, and then marched right down the field to score a touchdown.
They added another late in the first quarter, and were down just 21-13 when the Michigan defense forced an OSU punt with about four minutes left before halftime.
That’s when the roof fell in, just like it always seems to.
The Buckeyes punted it away on 4th-and-4 from their own 43, but senior Khaleke Hudson jumped offsides to gift OSU a first down.
Ohio State made the most of it, with Justin Fields hitting a 47-yard bomb to Garrett Wilson down to the Michigan 5.
J.K. Dobbins raced into the end zone on the next play. Just like that, Michigan went from getting the ball back with a chance to tie the game to trailing by 15 points.
With the Buckeyes set to receive the second-half kickoff, it was very clearly going to be a defining moment for Harbaugh and his offense.
This isn’t ret-conning, either. It was very apparent at the time.
How did Harbaugh respond?
The Michigan offense raced right down the field to the OSU 5. An incomplete pass, rush for no gain, and incomplete pass left him facing 4th-and-goal at the 5.
At this point, Michigan QB Shea Patterson had been close to perfect. Even after the pair of incomplete passes, he was 15-for-19 for 250 yards.
Michigan trailed by two scores, at 28-13. A field goal would still leave them two scores behind.
With a hot senior quarterback in his huddle, the home crowd behind him, and the OSU defense sucking win on the other side of the field, Harbaugh turtled.
He sent out the kicking team to make it 28-16.
After halftime, he had a chance to try to steal a possession with an onside kick. He didn’t do it.
The Buckeyes went right down the field to make it 35-16.
After a Michigan punt, Ohio State added a nine-play, 84-yard drive to make it 42-16.
Michigan went three-and-out, but got a gift as Wilson muffed a punt, giving them the ball at the OSU 26.
Three plays later, and facing 4th-and-11, Harbaugh sent out the field goal team again.
At this point, his team was down 26 points and his defense had given up touchdowns on six of the Buckeyes’ seven possessions (excluding a kneel-down at halftime).
Field goals were basically worthless. He needed touchdowns.
But Harbaugh settled for three again. By coaching not to lose, he lost yet again.
Five years into his tenure, he just made history by becoming the first coach for either program to go 0-5 in The Game.
He has never even made it to the Big Ten Championship Game, let alone won it.
His Michigan teams have lost at least three games every season he’s been in charge.
Saturday, when the moment got big, Harbaugh and his team played smaller than ever.
The rest of the game played out according to a now-familiar script. The Buckeyes wore out the Michigan defense, grinding Don Brown’s highly-touted unit to a nub.
They controlled the line on both sides of the ball.
And as the clock wound down, and Michigan fans made their way to the exits, O-H-I-O cheers echoed around Michigan Stadium.
The Wolverines’ only defense was to have their marching band play an arrangement of Aretha Franklin’s “R-E-S-P-E-C-T” to try to drown out the joyous Buckeye fans.
But at this point, Harbaugh and his program clearly don’t deserve that respect.
After the game, a reporter asked him, “Is it a talent gap? Is it a preparation gap? Is it a coaching gap? What is the biggest difference between you and Ohio State at this point?”
Harbaugh responded, “I’ll answer your questions, not your insults.”
When the reporter followed up to ask what the difference was, Harbaugh said, “They played better today.”
It’s starting to become apparent that Harbaugh simply has no answers.
