Ohio governor urges residents to not wear pleated khakis because of Jim Harbaugh

Ohio State and Michigan renew one of college football’s most storied rivalries on Saturday and squarely in the middle of this year’s edition of Jim Harbaugh.

Earlier in the week, Harbaugh stopped at the grave of legendary Michigan coach Bo Schembechler during his walk through Forrest Hill Cemetery and smashed a buckeye on the ground. On Friday, Ohio Governor John Kaisch and Lieutenant Governor Mary Taylor urged residents to avoid a certain type of clothing typically worn by Harbaugh.

In the above pictured resolution, Kaisch referenced fashion choices made by Ohio-born coaches who have made their mark on the series, like Schembechler and Jim Tressel. He also noted Harbaugh’s tendency to wear pleated Wal-Mart (reportedly) khakis on the sideline. Because of the nature of the Buckeyes-Wolverines rivalry, Kaisch doesn’t want residents in an article of clothing worn by a Michigan head coach so is urging those in the state to refrain from wearing Harbaugh’s pants of choice.

The week leading up to the Ohio State-Michigan game is always entertaining and this year has proved to be no different.
