Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
College football coaches with most to prove in 2021
JIM HARBAUGH | MICHIGAN WOLVERINES
“How long ago does it feel now that we were talking about this guy’s contract?" Pate asked. "In reality, it was just December. That was five months ago. It feels like five years ago. Time has become somewhat of a weird thing, given everything else going on in the world right now, but for Jim Harbaugh it’s been kind of a quiet offseason up there to be honest with you. He got his extension but with a reduced salary, and no one feels any closer to knowing whether they have the long-term answer here than they were before that contract got changed. J.J. McCarthy is the key. We can talk about Josh Gattis at OC. We can talk about Harbaugh at head coach, but it’s about J.J.McCarthy. It’s not rocket science out here. You’ve got to get the right quarterback in. They think they did. I, for the record, am in agreement with that. I think that’s the best shot they will have had. Problem is he’s a true freshman, so if we’re talking about something to prove as a true freshman. We don’t even know that he’s going to be the starter right now. They’ve got to get things figured out because they also have big games early in the season. They’ve got Washington coming in there in Week 2. Some of those game of the year lines that were put out? Washington is a 2.5-point favorite in The Big House."
“It isn’t that they haven’t closed the gap with Ohio State. I know that’s very popular to talk about. Have they closed the gap? It’s not that. Certainly, there’s a lot of unease about Michigan being a distant No. 2 to Ohio State. That’s the problem. What I just said is a lie. They’re not No. 2 in the Big Ten to Ohio State. They’re not the second-best program up there right now. I’d easily take Wisconsin’s program over Michigan right now. You can make an argument to take Iowa and Penn State over them. You could make those arguments. Indiana folks would fill my inbox right now and make a strong argument. They wouldn’t trade places with Michigan if they could. I’m not going to go that far based on the results of one year. What I’m saying is that it’s not that they haven’t closed the gap on Ohio State. It’s that it appears to Michigan fans that they’ve fallen farther behind and may even be trying to peer over the shoulders of other programs to even see Ohio State. That’s a problem.”

Bien. Bien chiludo.
On our travels from NC to OK, I ran into two TTUN fans (one dude from Dayton even SMH). Each time, I’d open up the dialogue into sports with a question about Harbaugh’s viability as HC. Each one couldn’t believe/didn’t understand why he was extended. It would be interesting to know if any of the fan base (outside of the sunshine pumpers) actually has any positive expectations for the foreseeable future.

They are always either from Dayton (usually Bellbrook) or Toledo. Either way, fuck them.

That's partially correct. Cincinnati by and large still has love for OSU, and once Tressel left OSU figured out to recruit Cincy. And outside of ND, and when UC isn't good, OSU rules the city
Btw, Coombs turned Colerain more towards OSU as well(except when UC's good

You and I are separated by a few years and in my experience (thanks 90s) every single raging Wolverine fan was from either Dayton or Toledo. The one's from Dayton were more times than not from Bellbrook. So I guess I could say Bellbrook versus Dayton. Lived in Kettering, Oakwood, and Huber Heights in early 00s and it was changing to Scarlet and Grey so it is probably big Buckeye lean now.

You kids stay off my lawn!
I grew up in Kettering - beginning when it was Van Buren Township. Si Burick, the long-time sports editor of the Dayton Daily News, assigned a beat writer and at least one photographer, to ALL Ohio State Football games - home and away. Marc Katz, the DDN's Ohio State beat writer through most of the 70s and 80s was a personal friend and helped me get photo passes as a stringer. I still get the paper online and Ohio State is still well covered. During the same period of time, the Enquirer NEVER assigned a full-time beat writer or photographer for Ohio State football, preferring to use what was available from AP and other sources.
Yeah, there were Michigan fans in Dayton, Kettering, and Oakwood. Guess what, there are assholes in Columbus too. Some people can't help themselves.

I have misplaced my pants.
Living in Cleveland in the 90s, I saw a lot of M*ch*gan fans. I haven't seen them so much for 20 years or so. I suspect they're still here, though, just waiting to tell the world that they were behind their team the whole time.
It's funny because every now and then a M*ch*gan flag goes up on a house someone just moved into. A year later, it goes down, not to be brought back out.
When I was in high school in Worthington in the early 90s, a lot of the other kids were M*ch*gan fans. I'm pretty sure they thought it was "cool" to rebel against the norm. Or else they were fair weather fans. I wonder where they are now? Actually, no, I don't care where they are now.
