Why is this news?: Jim Harbaugh won’t guarantee a victory over Ohio State this week

Plus, Michigan is ending its controversial Legends program, and men’s soccer advances in the NCAA Tournament.

"Quarterbacks are a special breed. They need to be cocky, and the cockiest I ever had was probably Jim Harbaugh."

Nearly 30 years ago, during Michigan week in 1986, then-Michigan quarterback Jim Harbaugh promised his team that they would defeat Ohio State to win the Big Ten title and go on to the Rose Bowl. Then, five days later, they did.

Now, a similar turn of events would be unlikely. With Ohio State’s loss to Michigan State Saturday, neither Ohio State nor Michigan are in control of their destiny to win the Big Ten East.
