0–14 is That Team's road record against the last 14 ranked opponents it has played. The last time the Wolverines defeated a ranked opponent, away from Ann Arbor, was 2006 against Notre Dame. 12 glorious years and counting.
So, let's find out how the fans of That Team responded to their beloved squad losing to another ranked opponent.
Note: This is written as a reminder on how not to respond when your favorite team loses or struggles. It's also nice to revel in their misery.
The team that is coached by the one who wears khakis has lost six of its last seven games played against ranked teams. The win was against No. 17 Florida in 2017, a team that finished (4–7).
| OPPONENT | HARBAUGH | HOKE | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RANKED OPPONENTS | 5–8 | 3–11 | ||||
| OHIO STATE | 0–3 | 1–2 | ||||
| MICHIGAN STATE | 1–2 | 1–1 | ||||
| BOWL GAMES | 1–2 | 1–2 | ||||
| OVERALL | 28–12 | 27–13 |
To add insult to injury, last night's loss is Jimmy's fifth straight to a ranked opponent away from AA and fourth straight at any location.
After 40 games, Harbaugh only has one more win than Brady Hoke. However, the Hokester did get a win over Luke Fickell's Buckeyes and won a NY6 Bowl in 2011.

The men who write about the men so blue are feeling quite sensitive these days as their comment section is closed for their game recap. I guess that's what happens when your team is 9–9 after its last 18 games and is now 2–2 in season opening games with Jimmy at the helm. He lost at Utah 17-24 in 2015 and by the same score last night in South Bend.
In his first two seasons, The One Who Wears Khakis finished with three losses. Last year, his team lost five times A minimum of three losses appears likely again in 2018.
Due to the closing of the game recap mine in which classic quotes are typically found, this new era of comment free game material has forced a detour to the cesspool that is known as the mgoblog message board. You've been warned, this is going to get really ugly as we venture through 1,886 game thread comments. Hold your breath, here we go.
As always, the words are theirs. It was difficult, but spelling and grammatical errors were not corrected.

Blame It On The One Who Wears Khakis
Chalky White
Why is Harbaugh wearing a sweatshirt.
Wilton Speight
trash offense. Thanks for getting it done this offseason jim you failiure
DeepBlueC
Same old same old on offense. Dull, plodding, unimaginative, unaggressive.
Going to be a very long season.
Wilton Speight
way to teach discipline Jim you fucking idiot
StraightDave
That's why you recruit elite players and not under the radar
fatpete
Open up the fucking offense dude
B1G Winning
It fucking 2nd and 14 and HARBAUGH is setting downs on fire by running up the middle. He can't coach an offense!
Oldadguy
Going for it at mid field? Stupid
Qmatic
Harbaugh or Pep you fucking suck at calling plays
Nofx1728
Bye bye harbaugh. Take your entire offensive staff with you
Krakhead
Harbaugh needs more emotion on the sideline. I think we would actually draw some more penalties if he was making a stink about it.
Patterson Points
Perkis-Size Me
Shea, I hope you’re everything you’re supposed to be.
taistreetsmyhero

WorldwideTJRob
If Shea is who they say he is! He has to win this one for us!
SpilledMilk
Embarrassing...Also, Patterson isn't the super star that we hoped he was.
Veryoldschool
Patterson needs to make something happen thus far it has been all Clark Kent time to see the other guy

Don Brown needs to make adjustments. Can't help that Hawkins got unlucky. Can adjust so that Furbush isn't 1 vs 1.
Schemoeller Carrbaugh
