ANN ARBOR, Mich. Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh didnt say much at his pre s conference Monday.He straddled the podium inside Crisler Arena and considered each question about the showdown between No. 2 Ohio State and No. 3 Michigan on Saturday and revealed nothing. One Columbus Dispatch columnist asked Harbaugh to describe himself after letting him know most Ohioans think hes crazy.MORE: Not crazy, Harbaugh said. I wouldnt describe myself as that.I dont know that my personality; how relevant that will be to the ballgame this week. Probably irrelevant.Thats almost all true. Harbaughs personality wont dictate the outcome, but it has everything to do with the revival of college footballs best rivalry. Harbaugh is the biggest personality to hit this rivalry since Ohio State legend Woody Hayes. This is the biggest installment since 2006.Yet he didnt give any bulletin board material or really any material at all. Among the highlights:On the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry: Khalil Mack T Shirts Competition. Thats the best part of it.On facing Ohio State on the road: Its a great opportunity and tremendous challenge.On facing Urban Meyer:Unique in that its at the highest level.Good luck finding bulletin board material in there. Maybe its because Ohio State beat Michigan 42-13 last season. Maybe its the status of quarterback Wilton Speight, who Harbaugh predictably didnt divulge much information about. Charlie Joiner Jersey Maybe its because the pre sure is on Michigan to deliver its first win against Ohio State in Columbus since 2000.A better answer? Maybe its none of that. Former Michigan a sociate athletic director of public relations Bruce Madej saw this before with Bo Schembechler. Harbaugh simply put his own personal spin on it. He does not care what everybody else is thinking."Jim is probably so focused on what he is doing here at Michigan that honestly none of those thingscome into play for him, Madej told SN. I don't know if I've ever seen a coach quite like him who doesn't stop thinking."Thats what created the Harbaugh phenomenon a PR tornado, Madej calls it on social media. Were all Joe Reed Jersey waiting to see where he goes, what he tweets or what he says next. Hes thinking, and we want to know what hes thinking even if well question what the hell hes thinking afterward.None of that matters this week. This week doesnt require advanced thought. This is Ohio State, who has won 13 of the last 15. Jim Tre sel and Urban Meyer are 13-1 against the Wolverines. Interim coach Luke Fickell lost in 2011;Michigans last victory in the series.Harbaugh was brought in to stop that momentum, and in two seasons hes done everything but beat Ohio State and win a Big Ten championship.MORE: We want more. We want the second installment of the Ten Year War, just like Bo vs. Woody. Harbaugh gives us shades of Hayes, who might have had a more colorful response after being asked if he was, Crazy like a fox.Feel like were ready to go to battle in a football-fight way, Harbaugh said.Harbaugh said hes ready to lead his team into that high-stakes showdown against the Buckeyes, and hes been his own man from the start.Bo is Bo and Jim is Jim, Madej said.Harbaugh is back in Columbus for the first time since , and this time he's Maurice Ffrench Jersey bringinga team with custom-made all-white Jumpman uniforms. What you see and hear is in the eye of the beholder. Michigan fans see Patton. Ohio State fans see Custer. Meyer vs. Harbaugh isnt the Ten Year War, but from what you hear its pretty damn close.The most important thing? Harbaughs players have heard the me sage. Tight end Jake Butt said this is a week where, Not much needs to be said. Theyve taken turns trying to describe what its like playing for Harbaugh for two years."The media kind of paints a bad picture of him sometimes because of his antics, going after the referees and stuff like that, but he'll fight to the death for his players, Michigan tackle Erik Magnuson said. He's a players'coach in that aspect."The Wolverines know whats at stake. Its a chance for a senior-laden team to make a statement that The Game really is back on. Its a chance for Harbaugh to get Michigan to Indianapolis and put the Wolverines in position to win their first Big Ten championship since 2004. Harbaugh got Los Angeles Chargers Accessories them here, but this is the game that always defines Michigans season.Harbaugh has to know that, even if he wont say it. Hes not going to break down wins according to pie charts, even if it includes Ohio State.How do you describe that line of thinking? Defensive tackle Chris Wormley had never heard the phrase crazy like a fox."He's not crazy, Wormley said. He just different. He does things different. When you're a top coach you set yourself apart from average. When you're not average, you are above average. Youdo things differently."MORE: Theres nothing crazy about Harbaughs approach this week. It doesnt matter what Harbaugh says.A win against Ohio State would speak for itself.
