I am actually very good friends with contributor Alex Cook (name drop). Everytime we get together, and I mean everytime, we have a good laugh at his favorite coach spoonerism: Stob Boops. What does it have to do with this? Nothing. Nothing other than point out the fact if you rearrange his name it is very funny.
Arrange it more and you get Stop Boobs. Which is just... unfathomable.
What a nightmare.
Exactly. Without context, I can't tell. What if he was being gracious and commenting on how hard JH works?
Harbaugh and anyone who plays for Harbaugh took it as a compliment.
I'm pleased with the solid comments in this thread. Nothing to add. Carry on.

Bob Stoops has just admitted that Jim Harbaugh is the hardest working coach out there and certainly more hardworking than he....
Only in America are you chastised for working your ass off!
I know this. I was embellishing to make a point. Jeez Magnus you ruin everything!
and a full pension. . .for all citizens
Yeah. But you're leaving a whole lot out. Remember when those pensioners couldn't get any of their money for like months at a time?
In no way am I defending our "work til you drop" society, it's pretty shitty really. I'm just a fan of being intellectually honest about everything, all of the time. Otherwise what's the point in discussing anything?
You agree with the claim that in Greece (and Europe generally) the retirement age (with full pension) is 50, and then claim to be "a fan of being intellectually honest about everything, all of the time?"
It is to laugh.
There is a pretty big differenc between being intellectually honest, and just being wrong. I was agreeing with his broader point about the way that we live, compared to most of Europe. In general they have much earlier retirement, far more time off, and on the whole have their life priorities under much better control than we do here in the US.
But by all means, latch on to the fact that I didn't correct his stated retirement age and ignore the broader point that I was making. That's what the internet is for, I think.
I'm still in my 20's and it doesn't bother me. No matter how much Stoops may have wanted to get under Harbaugh's skin, this is such a minor jab. Seems more of a joke than anything.
Living rent free.
Harbaugh has Michigan on everyone's mind.
This is the year he makes his statement that we're back, and we're not going anywhere.
Looks like you guys gotta root for us now September 17th. Sorry!
I'll root for a tornado, thankyouverymuch.
No, but thanks for thinking of us.
I might. But, probably not. These things have a way of sorting themselves out by gameday.
The sorry at the end is a sign of weakness.
I gotta give you a +1 for trying, I usually enjoy your input on the blog.
Okay....

I'd be willing to bet that Stoops heard someone else say that and was just waiting for a chance to say it.
