Jim Harbaugh finishes fourth in voting for Michigan's student government president

Jim Harbaugh, full-time football coach at Michigan and part-time first-base coach for the Oakland A's, finally discovered something he couldn't win.

I mean, he didn't try to ... but still.

According to The Michigan Daily, Harbaugh's 115 votes in the Central Student Government election for president added up to 1.26 percent of the vote, falling short of The Defend Affirmative Action Party (765), The Team (4,036) and the winning ticket by a grand total of FIVE votes, Make Michigan (4,041).

Harbaugh, ever the competitor said he was disappointed in his fourth-place finish despite not campaigning at all and not being eligible for a seat in Michigan's student government since 1986. He vowed to do better next year.

But you don't care about that. You care about Harbaugh. Let's let the Daily tell you about the creative ways the football coach landed on various ballots:

Harbaugh received 115 votes for president in total, including 82 votes for "Jim Harbaugh," another 18 simply for "Harbaugh" and four for the joint ticket of "Jim Harbaugh and Diag Squirrel."

Other voters were more creative with their write-in submissions, with the tickets "Jim Harbaugh and Jabrill Peppers," "Jim Harbaugh and His Khakis" and "Jim Harbaugh and Jesus Shuttlesworth" receiving one vote each.

Jesus Shuttlesworth, eh? America, is this the unifying 2016 ticket we've all been waiting for?
