Harbaugh channeling John Lennon
Ppl say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing, give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin When I say I'm OK they look at me kind of strange

and am confident I won't be let down. Jim is not going to clapp is way to 5-7 losses. Hell, I don't even think they'll have 4 losses. My epxectations are high as are Jim Harbaugh's. High expectations raise performance.
It's great to see coach having a blast.

Harb and his team are working about 2 straight weeks of 12 hour days + travel!
Their work load right now is INSANE. Has there ever been a college football coach and staff that worked as hard as they are right now?
Thats my take on what his message is about... that and a damned good song.
Guy who organized the Dallas camp says they're great for inner city kids who can't travel and stating, "For me it's all about the kids."
Saban and others...Not so much:
"I think there's a whole series of reasons why this is not healthy," said Baylor athletic director Ian McCaw, whose school won the 2013 Big 12 football championship and shared last year's title with TCU. Left unchecked, McCaw said the natural tendency for "keeping up with the Joneses" on the recruiting front could lead to disastrous ramifications for schools and coaches.
"We're going to start sending coaches all around the country, all summer long," McCaw said. "If School X is running 45 satellite camps around the country, School Y is going to have to figure out how to get 46. And that is not healthy for college football.
"Coaches need a vacation, like everybody else. It's a quality-of-life issue."

Just win games
Are we also channeling Keith Richards on Ruby Tuesday?
Great song.
Hard to think of two more dissimilar personalities than Harbaugh and Lennon.
Both were revolutionary. MGoWife referred to Harbaugh as a "Disruptive Technology" last night.
Wish I'd thought of that one.
I kinda recognized the lyrics when I saw the tweet, googled to be sure... and then I thought, this has got to be a cover or something that he's referencing. Wouldn't have pegged coach to listen to Lennon. Also the lyrics seem very unlike the public persona: now, it is just a great tune but "people think I'm lazy" doesn't in anyway apply to Harbaugh.
is overrated. There, I said it.
Outstanding thread though.

John Lennon put out two or three great albums after the Beatles broke up. Imagine and (title notwithstanding) Plastic Ono Band are uniformly recognized as great albums. And Double Fantasy is, IMO, better than anything that McCartney put out with Wings or solo. And Lennon did some great work with Harry Nilsson that's sadly out-of-print (Pussycats).
Post-Beatle songs by Lennon include Imagine, Working Class Hero, God, Jealous Guy, Just Like Starting Over, Woman, I'm Losing You, and others.
I just don't see McCartney's work as equal, let alone "way better", and I'm a McCartney fan. I realize this is just opinion, but I'd be curious why you place McCartney's post-Beatles repetoire far above Lennon's.
(As an aside, I always felt that much of the disdain toward Lennon derived from his marriage with Yoko Ono. I get that - she never dropped much for me as a musician or visual artist. But - in the words of Woody Allen - the heart is a funny muscle.)

If he hadn't taken up with this pretentious, screeching, no-talent hack, we'd have been spared this ridiculous art poseur crap:
He was also a shitty father to his first born son, Julian. Totally ignored the kid once he had one with Yoko. He didn't get jack shit from John's estate either.

Even if his mom is a screeching fury from the underworld, you owe the kid.

Imagine there's no NCAA
It's easy if you try
No one to monitor bagels
Or if stretch times are too high
