The Rose Bowl is approaching faster than we know and everybody is immersed in suspense and anticipation of what lies ahead. The undefeated Michigan Wolverines will face the 12-1 Crimson Tide on New Year. The winner will enter the National Championship game on Jan. 8 with the Sugar Bowl winner, which will either be the Washington Huskies or the Texas Longhorn.

Everything looks good on the outside but in addition to the competition ahead, there is bad blood between the two head coaches. The dispute stemmed from Jim Harbuagh’s suspicions at the SEC Spring meetings relating to the ‘satellite camps.’ The fact that another team coach could attend another program as a guest didn’t sit well with the Michigan HC.
Nick Saban slams the Big Ten HC saying, “Jim Harbaugh can do whatever he wants to do. There needs to be somebody that looks out for what’s best for the game, not whats best for the Big Ten or what’s best for the SEC.” In retaliation to this, Harbaugh dug up a past incident of Alabama’s former DL coach Bo Davis who also ‘broke the rules’ recruitment-wise.
