Go Blue

 ... and, no, not THAT blue.

The blue we're talking about is University of Michigan blue, which Jim Harbaugh has chosen over Indianapolis Colts blue and Carolina Panthers blue and every other kind of blue as he once again has decided to remain in Ann Arbor.

So, another offseason of stringing Michigan along with NFL dalliances is in the books. I keep wondering what Michigan's players must think of this yearly ritual. And what they say to themselves the first time Harbaugh walks back into the locker room.

Oh, hey, you're still here? How was your trip to Denver, COACH?

This time, see, Harbaugh chatted with the Panthers and actually interviewed with the Broncos. As far as I know, though, he never even contacted the Colts, his professional alma mater. And what's that tell you, Blobophiles?

"That Indy is so radioactive right now he treated it like Prypiat in the Chernobyl contamination zone?" you're saying.

Yes, you could draw that conclusion.

"That Jim Irsay might ACTUALLY be strongly considering making Jeff Saturday all-time coach, the way you used to make your cruddiest player all-time center in backyard football?"

Well, now that Harbaugh's out of the picture, it does reduce Saturday's competition.

"That Irsay might possibly be clinically insane for even giving this a random thought?"

Hey, I'm not a psychologist, but ...

But there must be a reason Harbaugh never publicly expressed interest in the Indy job. And it can't because the hot dogs in Michigan Stadium are better.

Your sobering thought for today.
