Poor Michigan ... first the Les Miles saga and now a similar one with Jimmy Harbaugh?

At least Miles' decision was easy to understand with a pretty nice job in Baton Rouge. I just don't see the lure of the NFL. It's a 3-4 year job at best in 99% of the cases, whereas at Michigan or especially Stanford, you can pretty much stay as long as you want. At least in Pete Carroll's case he was skipping town ahead of the NCAA penalties. Harbaugh's a pretty good college coach - why leave that?

Looks like OSU came to play tonight - hope they can hang on for the Big Ten's sake. That and an Oregon win next week might finally shut up the SEC for a couple weeks at least. :)

GO CATS!!!
