Wisconsin’s ‘College GameDay’ signs are basically one huge Jim Harbaugh roast

It’s the Saturday before Thanksgiving. Let’s be thankful for Jim Harbaugh’s entire being.

This week, College GameDay was in snowy Madison for the Michigan-Wisconsin game. On one side: Wisconsin, who’s undefeated and looking for a spot in the College Football Playoff. On the other side: Michigan, home of Jim Harbaugh and Jim Harbaugh-related goofs. On top of that, it’s the Saturday before Thanksgiving. Those are the themes of this week’s GameDay signs. Let’s see what Badgers fans brought:

I’m a big Stranger Things fan, so this speaks to me. However, to answer the sign, it does seem strange that a Hoosier with telekinetic powers would root for Wisconsin:

Wisconsin fans really love Stranger Things:

Who doesn’t want Bama?

Actually, wait...

OK. Sorry, Vanderbilt.

Miami’s got a turnover chain, so now everyone wants a turnover chain:

Keep believing in Santa Corso:

“Harbaugh is scared to wear jeans”:

ESPN

I Googled “Jim Harbaugh jeans,” and he’s definitely worn jeans before. By the way, the “Harbaugh’s khakis are Lululemon” sign on the right is indeed true. Jim Harbaugh is a huge Lululemon fan.

GameDay fans also had signs for LiAngelo Ball after he and his UCLA teammates were detained in China for shoplifting:

ESPN

Jim Harbaugh would totally be into Pretzel Day. This is believable:

This is also believable:

Come on and slam, and welcome to the jam:

“Jim Harbaugh prefers ham on Thanksgiving”:

ESPN

Actually, I’m with this fantasy version of Harbaugh here. Ham is way better than turkey. The folks at Vox would agree! Every time I eat turkey, I never feel satisfied. Give me ham, chicken, or beef instead of turkey, and I can leave dinner with a smile on my face.

Patrick, I don’t think “wumbo” is a real word:

Welcome to the American Midwest!
