On Thursday's show, I asked this question to our audience and to our social media followers - if Michigan wins, and especially convincingly, should U-M coach Jim Harbaugh mention "pride" and "fall" in his post-game press conference? Essentially, should Harbaugh dish out a little trash talk after years of Mark Dantonio mouthing off about the Wolverines.

Thus far, more of you have said no, but put me in the minority, because I would love to see it. I think there is a time and a place for trash talking. I don't like it before games. I don't like the "little brother" stuff, but Dantonio is someone that has gone out of his way to jab Michigan.

Whether it was the opening salvo "pride comes before the fall" or suggesting a moment of silence after Michigan lost to Appalachian State, or when fewer Spartans were drafted than Wolverines in a particular NFL Draft he said "we're not selling hope. We're selling results" Dantonio has had a stinging comment seemingly every time he was asked about U-M during his career. 

Now, with Dantonio's legacy on the line following 3-9 (2016), 7-6 (2018) and what is now a 4-5 campaign, I'm all for Harbaugh expressing some harsh words if Michigan wins in convincing fashion. 

We discussed that very topic on our show today.
