Any time Paul Finebaum can poke Jim Harbaugh, you best believe the radio host is going to fire up some conversation.

Finebaum put forth a pubic wager via Twitter on Monday ahead of the start of the College World Series. Harbaugh's alma mater Michigan faces Vanderbilt at 7 p.m. EDT Monday in Omaha, Neb., and the winner of the best-of-three series takes home the national championship trophy.

Finebaum expects the Commodores (57-11) to win, of course, seeing as how Vanderbilt represents the SEC.

"If (and when) the #VandyBoys win," Finebaum asks Harbaugh, "you become an SEC 'water carrier' for a day?"

The reference was to a February of 2017 tweet by the Wolverines football coach that read, "Pete Finebaum, the unabashed SEC water carrier, really needs to get his facts straight." Harbaugh was responding to Finebaum's accusation of cheating by the UM coach after he hired the high school coach of a prized recruit.

Finebaum, who said he would wear a Charles Woodson jersey to a Michigan practice should the Wolverines (49-20) win this week, has made it a habit question Harbaugh's successes (or lack thereof). In February, Finebaum called Harbaugh too stubborn to succeed.

“He is his own worst enemy," Finebaum explained. "When he got there, I thought he would be a great coach. I don’t believe that anymore. I don’t think he’s an elite coach anymore because I think he gets in his own way. Some people do that. They’re just so stubborn that I think he has lost his way somewhat.

"I’m trying to be as objective as possible in analyzing him, and I know these are more above the clouds types of comments. But I just doing see a good ending for him up there.”

The radio host has also made it clear that he believes Harbaugh coaches one of the more overrated teams in the country. Finebaum really went hard at Harbaugh this past November when he declared that Harbaugh wouldn’t ever be able to get it done with Urban Meyer still at Ohio State.

“I really think Jim Harbaugh should give it up,” Finebaum said. “He is not going to get it done there. I stipulate as long as Urban [Meyer] is at Ohio State because Urban could leave, and it could be easier I believe. He has not proven to be an elite college coach. I think Jim Harbaugh, overall, is a good football coach. I’m not about to disparage him, but he was a better pro coach and that’s where he ought to go.”

As for this week's matchup at TD Ameritrade Park, Vanderbilt is the clear favorite as the No. 2 overall national seed. The Commodores beat Mississippi State and Louisville (twice) to advance to the finals and are the SEC's regular-season and SEC tournament champions.

Michigan is also 3-0 in Omaha and got to the College World Series after winning the Corvallis Regional and Los Angeles Super Regional. The Wolverines last won a national championship in baseball in 1962.
