This ends in one of two ways

There’s no argument that Saturday’s loss to Michigan State was the worst under Jim Harbaugh. While Jim hasn’t won a lot of big games, he’s avoided upset losses like this or at least he did until Mel Tucker and company took back Paul Bunyan.

In many ways, there really is nothing left to say. The gameplan on both sides of the ball was questionable and the staff (DON BROWN) seems unable to adjust. Also, Harbaugh’s team simply was not ready to go, all of the penalties are evidence of that.

Certainly, his seat will now be hotter than ever, which is ironic, because just last week the talk was that finally Michigan was about to turn the corner.

Now, I don’t think Michigan was as good as it looked against Minnesota or as bad as it looked against Michigan State. So who the hell are the Wolverines?

That’s a question that will be answered in the next few games as Michigan is set to take on Indiana, Wisconsin and Penn State, as well as Rutgers in the next four weeks. If the team rights the ship and wins those games, then maybe we will look at this game as just a fluke.

Next. Harbaugh, Michigan have hit rock bottom. dark

But if things go south and the Wolverines lose at Bloomington this week, plus drop a game to Wisconsin or Penn State and lose at the end of the year, we will probably look back at the 2020 Michigan State game as the beginning of the end for Harbaugh, Don Brown and everyone else.
