    People forget that the AP didn't start picking a national champ until 1936. Most of Michigan's titles were before that. Michigan has only won the AP poll twice since then, 1997 and 1948. They split a title in 1947. They aren't elite and never have been. B level like us, but never top tier A level. Losing record in the Rose Bowl, as well. They are closer to Princeton and Yale territory, but they've actually had recent success.

    Long is liking a lot of Michigan tweets lately and no UW tweets. I think we might be trailing for his terrific hips right now.

    That's all, thanks for reading.

    Michigan is a Mount Rushmore program (when they have the right guy), who has a Mount Rushmore CFB coach in Harbaugh. Plus for kids in northern California, Jim would be a legend as they were growing up.

    If he had to pick today, Long would be a wolverine, but I still think he will be a dawg come signing day.

    CFB Mount Rushmore

    USC, Notre Dame, BAMA, fourth spot is debateable but it's either Oklahoma, Nebraska or Ohio State.

    Michigan is not on the CFB Rushmore. Maybe on the CFB Stone Mountain. Harbaugh is on the Rushmore of current coaches though.
    The all-time winningest program isn't on the CFB Mt Rushmore?
    How many national titles has Michigan won?
    Eleven.
    They've won one since Race was born.

    I agree with @godawgst on Long.

    He probably loves UW but its hard to turn down a chance to play for Harbaugh, arguably the best coach in the world not named Pete Carroll.

    Voted up for overall poast, they're a clear step above us(?) though.
    Disagree. We're dead even historically.
