A review by beths0103
Overtime: Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines at the Crossroads of College Football by John U. Bacon
2.0
This book in a nutshell:
Everyone else are cheaters.
Michigan's not because they have integrity.
That's why they're always losing.
I appreciate the sentiment of revealing the character and dignity of the Michigan program, but the book felt a little bit too much like Bacon was trying to convince naysayers why Harbaugh needs to stay at Michigan even though many fans who are waiting for a win against Ohio State haven't seen it yet.
Something else that was revealed to me in this book that perhaps Bacon did not intend was just the sheer amount of money spent on these players and the program. It further turned me off from a game that my interest has been waning for many years now. I still love Michigan. I love the energy of the Big House on a breezy Autumn day. I even like Harbaugh despite so many fans being disappointed in his record. But there is too much toxicity tied up in the culture of football for me to be all in anymore.
