Harbaugh, minding his business, caught a stray from his hometown mayor

It’s time to catch up on Toledo key ceremony controversies.

Jim Harbaugh is from Toledo, which is in the same state as Ohio State, which hates the team Jim Harbaugh coaches. That’s about everything you need to know in order to look at this tweet properly:

Reporter Hausfeld indicated that Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz was just having a good time among respected neighbors, not trying to start a physical fight. He has a degree from Michigan, but he’s an Ohio State fan.

Here’s where we mention Urban Meyer is also from Toledo, and they were born only a few months apart.

That means this is the second time Harbaugh’s Toledo key thing has generated more attention than the usual key thing does. The last time around, it pissed off the college football team that actually resides in the town:

It did not go over so hot.

Not with Ohio State fans, who cheekily wondered why their more successful coach, Urban Meyer, remained locked out of his birth city. And not at the University of Toledo, where it did not go unnoticed that similar recognition eluded coach Jason Candle and his reigning Mid-American Conference champions.

At least one university trustee sent the mayor a scolding letter while Toledo President Sharon Gaber may or may not have ended her subscription to the mayor’s city newsletter because of it.

The mayor explained things as such at the time:

“If you have someone who comes in and raises over $100,000 to help poor people gain access to the justice system,” Mr. Kapszukiewicz said, “and if that person happens to be born in Toledo, as difficult as it was for me as an Ohio State and Toledo fan to do so, the job as a mayor is to recognize people who make those sort of contributions.”

Now you and I both know more about key ceremonies in Toledo than we did before, probably.
