Talk all you want about the gap in recruiting and development. Discuss facilities and support all you want. It all matters. But until Jim Harbaugh and Michigan live, eat, and breathe scarlet and gray, the rivalry’s not likely to turn around anytime soon.
And if it doesn’t, Michigan isn’t really on the cusp of more than the same “success” it’s enjoyed since Jim Tressel put on the sweater vest in 2001 until now.
