Harbaugh's latest inspirational tweet
For those who like this type of stuff, Harbaugh followed yesterday's "an unthusiasm unknown to mankind" tweet with another gem:
Coach Harbaugh@CoachJim4UM3 hrs3 hours ago
"Anything less than a man's best effort cheats himself! Demeans him! Spoils him! Ruins him! Cheapens him!" Emerson
Personally, I love these tweets, and the mindset that Harbaugh effuses. If even half of his intensity rubs off on the team, it would be a huge positive.
I am looking forward to seeing what other awesome tweets he sends out.

Of a true leader.
January 16th, 2015 at 11:28 AM ^
I think he's just doing one inspirational tweet every morning. It's great to see someone so positive even if you aren't so much in the morning.

Harbaugh's tweets are giving me a way to talk to my girlfriend about sports.
She has next to zero interest in anything sports-related, but she likes inspirational quotes, so I'm bringing Harbaugh's nuggets of wisdom into our lives.

but I'd keep my gf far away from Harbaugh's nuggets!
January 16th, 2015 at 2:57 PM ^
I hear he's a jackhammer...
January 16th, 2015 at 3:08 PM ^
Boooooooo

That's what I'm getting, anyway.

But I doubt Michigan will shan't the bed under Harbaugh like we have at times in the past few years. This guy's enthusiasm is as infectious as Ebola, but 100% less deadly*.
*Warranty does not apply for opponents on Michigan's football schedule.
January 16th, 2015 at 12:21 PM ^
But ebola isn't very infectuous compared with other diseases.
January 16th, 2015 at 12:23 PM ^
Owing to its obligate oral-fecal transmission mode, calling Ebola highly infectious is a significant misnomer.
Even in dense cities, each infection triggers between 0 and 3 new infections on average. Between (1) that factor of the infectious material being non-aersolizable and weakly infectious, (2) a lack of a true zoological reservoir (bats), (3) miniscule social innoculum (2 explanted cases from west africa in the United States), and (4) more capable american hospitals with longstanding quarantine practices and meticulous approaches to hygeine: Given those things, it was easy to expect that the fears of an american epidemic were overblown to an ostentatious degree.

If I did not trend pedantic here my own damn self, I'd accuse you of pedantry.
Given the glass house I inhabit, I stand corrected. Harbaugh's enthusiasm is as infectious as Hepatitis A. As infectious as malaria. As infectious as polio.
Are we OK now?
January 16th, 2015 at 3:04 PM ^
Hmmm. Not yet.
Try typing something that is aerosolizable. Like anthrax. Even tuberculosis.
Or something water-borne like cholera.
January 16th, 2015 at 4:18 PM ^
Losing is a disease...
...as contagious as polio.
Losing is a disease...
...as contagious as syphilis.
Losing is a disease...
...as contagious as bubonic plague...
... attacking one...
... but infecting all.
Ah, but curable.
Harbaugh!

Some snark:
1) CDC HAS aersolized viable Ebola virions in a lab setting. This transmission does not occur in nature due to particle size.
2) True
3) Negatory, especially given how recovering males still can transmit Ebola via ejaculate months after recovering
4) But wearing, removing isolation garments requires specialized training with continued use, otherwise nosocomial infections can easily occur (see Dallas). And numerous studies have demonstrated how poorly hospital staff (docs, nurses, etc) wash their hands.
January 16th, 2015 at 3:01 PM ^
3)
There's a miscommunication here. When I invented the compound noun "small social innoculum" apropos the US outbreak, I intended it to mean "very few people got Ebola here."
1)
I suspect you are referencing the equivocal study from 1995. It's results have since remained unsubstantiated. You seem independent, capable, and knowledgeable, but just for sake of being explicit, I'll summarize the study anyway:
Two separately caged monkeys are put in a room with a long history of Ebola infections. At t=0, only one monkey has the infection. Later on, the other monkey gets Ebola too. The researchers cared deeply to ignore the possibilities of mistakes/contamination and inferred from this that monkey two must have inhaled aerosolized Ebola exhaled from monkey one.

He didn't do the quotes, but he did stuff like -
I was troubleshooting a tough problem with a customer network and went way above and beyond - I updated the ticket with a relatively terse "Figured out customer side issue, advised on fix" - but he'd been sitting about 10 feet away - When he saw my update, he turned around and tossed me a silver dollar he had in his pocket - "Nice work". Yeah, I know it's silly, but in general, I would have run through a wall for that guy. Even a slightly more substantial wall than the video shows. :)

PS - Yeah, I know - Cool story bro. :)

Hit 'em with the Harbammer!!
January 16th, 2015 at 11:34 AM ^
I'm glad he followed up yesterday's surprising lack of exclamation points with a veritable plethora today.
January 16th, 2015 at 12:09 PM ^
I want a side by side of this pic and "The Rock" with the eye-brow lift.

Our football coach quotes Ralph Waldo Emerson. How many of his peers could drop that kind of literary reference?
Gentlemen, that's the Michigan Difference™.
January 16th, 2015 at 12:08 PM ^
Kind of reminds me of how Lloyd used to quote Kipling. Only way more intense and scary.
January 16th, 2015 at 12:45 PM ^
Actually, he appears to be quoting Woody Hayes paraphrasing Emerson.
Edit: JLo posted it first. I should have kept scrolling...
January 16th, 2015 at 1:11 PM ^
I'll hear none of that Buckeye discourse. The ultimate inspiration came from Emerson.
January 16th, 2015 at 2:35 PM ^
Do we think that he actually runs his twitter account? I guess I just assumed he's too busy to do stuff like that.

But you just know at some point, he's going to Tweet something controversial. Hopefully, he has some social media intern who can help him avoid some landmines.

"Enthusiasm..." not "Un...
January 16th, 2015 at 11:42 AM ^
So does this mean that Coach Harbaugh is now a student of the Bacari Alexander School of All things Twitter?

I became ashamed of Our Blue Football Team this year. So now "Hope springs eternal!"
I am rejuvenated!! Let's GO BLUE!!

If you look at Harbaugh's tweets i think every single sentence in every tweet (but 1) ends in an exclamation mark.
That's cool man.
January 16th, 2015 at 11:52 AM ^
... even twitter! This man is an unstoppable force in our galaxy.

internalized, memorized and Harbaughized!
January 16th, 2015 at 11:54 AM ^
Any way the site can have a small space on the Harbaugh banner just devoted to his latest tweet? Like some sort of auto-update linked to Twitter. That'd be a nice touch.
January 16th, 2015 at 12:01 PM ^
January 16th, 2015 at 12:07 PM ^
You mean like an RSS feed or something along those lines? I would assume so, but then I don't know what version of Drupal the site uses or if that version supports such a module (I would have to think it might though). In any case, you can always e-mail Brian or Seth about it - there is an update of the site hopefully forthcoming, and I personally wouldn't be averse to "The Daily Inspiration" box having the feed of Harbaugh's Twitter as it promises to be entertaining certainly.
January 16th, 2015 at 12:33 PM ^
I love it. You ask a question and a computer engineer at the ready. I've never emailed Brian though. It seems like an intimidating wizard of oz type experience.

I think JH tweets his inner Bo. Bo would have been a great tweeter, but I'm sure he wouldn't have liked the term tweet. Not enough toughness in that word. LOL
