Is whining about officiating only OK when you win? Pretty tired here of Harbaugh's multi-day outcry over officiating last Saturday. When does the Big Ten tell him they've heard enough and move on? Maybe Harbaugh should hire a retired official for his staff -- he's got someone on his staff for everything else, including recruiting NJ.
Harbaugh's public whining about officiating

I don't mind it. I wish more would be said about bad officiating. For the amount of money schools pay coaches and staffs, and the massive media rights packages, etc... you'd think they could hire and train full time officials, rather than having part timers with day jobs.
You simply can't have games end like Miami/Duke because refs made multiple errors - that can have a major financial impact on the institutions involved, and to hang it on part time guys is a little ridiculous.

Harbaugh is such a whiny little bitch. He's like the Tom Brady of CFB coaches (and i'm a Pats fan).
On Pepers TD 2 blocks in the back .......first one was out in flat the second one down field on lewis by olineman who pushes 2 hands in back to knock him to the ground then the OL jumps on Lewis. watch ESPN highlites. Also missed easy Facemask on Laviano on a sramble. What was amazing about no call was DL left game with injured hand from getting caught.in Lavs facegear.
he is successful.. I will give him that .. but yes... that whining and hypocrisy will catch up to him and back fire... love him at first, then they see him for what he is....
I know it's what Ray Lucas does, but there were several blatant missed defensive pass interference calls against Michigan. On a few of them, our receiver was mugged and/or shoved out of bounds.
I hope Urban Meyer spanks him and I really don't like Ohio State
He's used to the NFL and Pac-12 where you can't touch members of the other team. B1G officials let the kids play. Thank God!
If they didn't let the kids play, Michigan would have had PI called on them like 50% of the time.
Harbaugh's model was Bo Schembechler. Bo's model was Woody Hayes. I actually enjoy watching Harbaugh in action -- the guy accepts nothing but a 100% effort at winning. Bo won, Woody won, and Harbaugh will win a national championship at Michigan. Watch !

You do realize we were, IIRC, THE most penalized team in the nation until B1G play got underway, right? I'm still no so sure that should have been reversed, btw, I was shocked (happy, but shocked nonetheless....).
Oh, sure, we should have been called for lots more, too. (though that was 100% a clean block, imo).
Like I said, though, I wish there were *more* talk about officiating. It's something of a taboo subject. So much time, money, and effort are put into every phase of this game - from practice facilities, recruiting lounges, scholarships, uniforms, stadiums, scoreboards, coaching salaries, audio/video production during games, filming/broadcasting, advertising, etc.... for the game to come down to a part time employee who needs a day job to pay the bills. It's crazy. It's like spending hundreds of millions of dollars on a space shuttle, then giving the astronauts Halloween costumes instead of space suits.

losers are the worst bitches. you dont know the man and would never say a word to his face but you are really brave in mommies basement. now watch how you take offense to what i called you.
It will be a close race - as it has been in all of his previous positions - a race between championship & implosion. The intensity levels in this man create great accomplishments - and great instability. Famous or infamous - he often appears to be a fraction of an inch away from both.
