Hey Ref!
Hey Ref! I'm the second Michigan coach to start his career 0–3 against Ohio State. If I'm still around, I'll be the first to go 0–4. 

Jim Harbaugh and Rich Rodridguez are the only Michigan coaches to start 0–3 against Ohio State.

Through three seasons, Harbaugh is 1–5 against rivals and is 1–7 against teams ranked in the top 10. His lone win was against Florida in Week 1 this year. We now know who "good" Florida was.

Considering the players Ohio State returns and the fire that burns in Urban Meyer to win this game, Harbaugh will have a hard task not becoming the only coach of That Team to start his career 0–4.

THAT TEAM'S COACHES WITH NON-WINNING RECORDS IN THE GAME

Harry Kipke 1929–1937 3–6 .333

Lloyd Carr 1995–2007 6–7 .462
Langdon "Biff" Lee 1900 0–0–1 .500
Elton E. Wieman 1927–1928 1–1 .500
Bennie Oosterbaan 1948–1958 5–5–1 .500
Time to pick a new coach?
Harbaugh is now 0–3 in The Game. Is it time for Michigan to pick a new coach?

Playoffs or not, it's always a good year when Ohio State wins this game. It's 6:37 and Michigan still sucks.

*For those that like The Losing Effect, expect another edition later tonight or tomorrow morning.
