Harbaugh Presser: Team is like Field Corn
Airing now on BTN.
Team is like field corn rather than a house plant. Nothing against house plants. They can be beautiful in a home but field corn is better. Field corn can grow anywhere, even the cracks of a sidewalk. Rises up and starts producing.
Yellow the field where ripens the grain,
And yellow the moon on the harvest wain,
Hail!
Hail to the colors that float in the light,
Hurrah for the Yellow and Blue!

He has literally given the same answer to EVERY question.
Very impressive.
October 30th, 2023 at 1:47 PM ^
I think he meant "field Maize"
October 30th, 2023 at 3:56 PM ^
So those are the words to the Alma Mater song?!? Until now, I really could only sing, "blah, blah, blah, blah ... Hail!"
October 30th, 2023 at 7:44 PM ^
Everyone else is expecting and waiting for..a Jim Mora breakdown as in "playoffs?! playoffs?!"
Meanwhile, JH is talking about how great the senior linebacker corps is.
Don't give direct responses to any media questions, period.
October 30th, 2023 at 1:16 PM ^
He knows we know that Day is his biatch
October 30th, 2023 at 1:23 PM ^
Ryan Day has a Forrest Gump like cult following.
October 30th, 2023 at 1:16 PM ^
Ryan Day is a peace lily, the born on third base of house plants, if you can kill one of those, you shouldnt have plants.
October 30th, 2023 at 1:17 PM ^
day and ohio state are orchids.
the slightest variation in temperature, sunlight, or attention and they're dead dead dead.
October 30th, 2023 at 7:17 PM ^
Ryan day is like a corpse flower.
Amorphophallus titanum - which translated from Ancient Greek means “Giant Misshapen Phallus”. They rarely bloom; only once every 7-10 years, emanating an odor that smells of rotting flesh.
October 30th, 2023 at 1:23 PM ^
Been saying it for years now. How's the defense look this year, TB? "Like a field of corn." I tell them.
October 30th, 2023 at 1:28 PM ^
If someone asked, Ben Herbert would magically appear with a pull-up bar and make them go to exhaustion.
October 30th, 2023 at 5:15 PM ^
Doesn't Herbert have the starters doing something far harder than playing when they are on the sideline, so that a grueling 4th-quarter or even 17 OTs will seem comparatively easy?
October 31st, 2023 at 11:19 AM ^
+1 Realistic and would happen.
October 30th, 2023 at 9:37 PM ^
The #7 SP+ offense goes up against the #2 SP+ defense every week in practice. Iron sharpens iron.
October 30th, 2023 at 1:24 PM ^
Good tee: blue background with maize FIELD CORN text and ear of corn image.
October 30th, 2023 at 2:17 PM ^
My tee idea:
Read this sign
picture of giving the finger ( actually an outline)
maize lettering and outline on blue T
or vis a versa
October 30th, 2023 at 3:04 PM ^
My T-shirt:
RYAN D.E.A.
October 30th, 2023 at 3:31 PM ^
Like Gary Oldman in Leon: The Professional, gleefully popping amyls, ripping off drug dealers, and faking crime scenes.
October 30th, 2023 at 4:15 PM ^
one of my favorite movies of all time
Oldman deserved an Oscar
October 30th, 2023 at 1:25 PM ^
Field corn may be nice but...
The biggest F-You Harbaugh and Michigan could give to the rest of the world would be to sign Jim to a new contract today or tomorrow.
October 30th, 2023 at 1:26 PM ^
Tall up!
The Harbaugh nutrition plan: whole milk, steak and Kellogg's Corn Flakes
October 30th, 2023 at 1:47 PM ^
Whole - RBGH free - Chocolate milk!
October 30th, 2023 at 1:26 PM ^
Because corn have ears, and they listen.
October 30th, 2023 at 1:28 PM ^
This reminds me of when OG Connor Jones, as a recruit, was described as "putting water in the harbor." I still don't know what that means. I'm not sure anyone knows what it means. But I love it nonetheless
October 30th, 2023 at 2:30 PM ^
a rising tide lifts all boats? maybe? dunno, but i like it too!
October 30th, 2023 at 3:22 PM ^
Blue on Black?
Tears on a River?
Push on a Shove?
Joker on Jack?
Match on a Fire?
Cold on Ice?
Whisper on a Scream?
October 30th, 2023 at 1:28 PM ^
I love that he's giving BS answers - tells me that he sees the BS and is angry about it. Angry Jim makes a team that just destroys everything in its path.
I like that.
October 30th, 2023 at 1:29 PM ^
Watched the whole thing. My only conclusion? That is the dumbest collection of reporters/beat writers I have listened to in a while.
October 30th, 2023 at 1:35 PM ^
They're all like that, every one. Which is why I stopped even glancing through the transcripts a few years back. The questions absolutely suck.
Is it any wonder why Harbaugh doesn't like them?
October 30th, 2023 at 1:53 PM ^
No, none at all, they are a pathetic bunch. Thinking that a coach, experienced in coach-speak and non-answers will fall into some imaginary trap because of their genius.
October 30th, 2023 at 1:48 PM ^
Apparently, you haven't listened to ESPN lately...
October 30th, 2023 at 1:33 PM ^
All your corn belong to us
October 30th, 2023 at 2:33 PM ^
In this gif, we are losing to Scott Frost in the 4th quarter even though we stole their signs. Big competitive advantage.
October 30th, 2023 at 1:41 PM ^
Maize.
October 30th, 2023 at 1:47 PM ^
Unlike sweet corn, field corn is tough...
October 30th, 2023 at 2:00 PM ^
i don't want any of you city slickers picking on field corn. we haven't gotten ours out of the field yet because it's been raining so much. we're going to have to bite the bullet and get it done and then spend money drying it.
October 30th, 2023 at 2:25 PM ^
LOL - I love Harbaugh!
October 30th, 2023 at 2:31 PM ^
see, this is my kind of message board topic. dumb jokes, obscure references, metaphor, all that Michigan Man (TM) stuff.
we have a very particular set of skills, hereabouts.
October 30th, 2023 at 2:37 PM ^
We are so fucking back
October 30th, 2023 at 3:02 PM ^
Right??? It's his confidence, his focus, and his "don't give a f*** what anybody else thinks" attitude.
He's making me think we're going to absolutely curbstomp PSU and the Nuts.
October 30th, 2023 at 2:45 PM ^
He’s a weird dude. But he’s OUR weird dude.
October 30th, 2023 at 2:48 PM ^
WAPO: “Sources: Michigan Football Looted & Stole Entire Cornfield While in Lincoln Earlier This Year for Game With Nebraska"
October 30th, 2023 at 3:36 PM ^
so sad the NCAA probably chased him away after this year. I'm gonna miss his Harbaughisms and nervous bird references and sleepovers with recruits
October 30th, 2023 at 3:41 PM ^
Amaizing.
October 30th, 2023 at 4:28 PM ^
Harbs is an odd bird, but that odd bird style is perfect for where we are right now—in the parlance of our times, as it were.
October 30th, 2023 at 5:41 PM ^
But not a nervous bird.. nor a jive one
October 30th, 2023 at 4:56 PM ^
Our team is field corn
Fall sun heightens its maize color
Moon glows blue on it
October 30th, 2023 at 6:55 PM ^
Love coach Harbaugh. Here’s to hoping he retires at Michigan!
October 31st, 2023 at 8:46 AM ^
And they’re pissed. So what happens when UM wins out after everyone is “aware” their signs have been “stolen”? It should suggest how stupid all of that was. Then some real evidence comes out Day and OSU are directly involved with hiring people to investigate and disseminate their “findings”. The real story here is how easy it is to use the press to affect a goal. Hmmm. Where have we seen this before? Can’t believe they went full political. Either way, enjoy the season and wait for this to bloom in the off-season
