Harbaugh's second day on campus, he said he wanted Nike. I have no doubt he'll wear a Michigan hat with the swoosh on the side in 2016.

Here's Nike's Bo hat from 2006.

Hold on a minute pard, Mini Me is a Michigan fan, Russell Crowe is a Michigan fan, Kate Upton is a Michigan fan, how in the unholy fuck do you know that's not the real Stamos posting?

Are you saying it's creepy for Stamos to be Stamos & be a Michigan fan and proudly display it and post here about Michigan?

Or, what if on the off chance that's not the real Stamos, but it's some wife or gf of his posting as both a fan of her man & the Michigan Men? Who else would this really be other than a Stamos or almost Stamos? Jeez..

lots of people out there like to think of themselves as the ultimate fan. I know I did before I found MGoBlog. WD raises the bar for all of us. Also I'm willing to bet lots of the people who give him shit are jealous that they don't have that kind of free time. In the 80s I uses to add stats up with a USA Today and a calculator. Now I have a job and a family and a mortgage and "free time" means I got to poop without someone knocking on the bathroom door.

I think there is some concern for him. Hard to imagine he's a very well-rounded person with how obsessed he is with Michigan. If he is ok with it consming his identity, it's his life. But most people would view that as pretty unhealthy.

That wasn't my favorite hat. I had a version, but it deviates from the "Bo hat" in two ways:

(1) the M is some new wave 3D feature that sticks out way too far.
(2) the forehead slopes at an unusual angle. The Bo hat obviously doesn't climb up the brow from the brim at a 90-degree angle (along the midsagittal line), but is much closer to that than this.

Actually, marketing and marketers can be highly analytical. For example, I am a marketer after a career change thanks to Ross, but I also have three engineering degrees. I usually don't make a major decision without a decent amount of qualitative and quantitative data to back me up. That said, this is most likely not estimated by a marketer anyway - probably a quant/analytical specialist - most companies like this one have people on staff for these kinds of things. Oh, and on a completely unrelated note, I'm married to a Canadian.

...your marketing career won't get very far.

In every marketing job I've ever seen posted (real marketing job, not some psuedo-named marketing role) quantitative and analytical skill are very high on the list of desired qualifications. Any company worth its salt asks its prospective marketers to demonstrate how they use data to inform their decision-making.

Managing Partner Eric Smallwood estimates Michigan's football team will generate $10.7 million in exposure during the regular season if Harbaugh doesn't wear a hat and $11.6 million if he wears a hat with a visible logo.

It seems like something only Jim Harbaugh and a select few could manage, generating nearly an extra million just by putting on a hat. I don't see him wandering around the sideline without one really though, at least not but once in a rare while, so that might be almost money in the bank potentially, if the estimate is correct (the hype and interest alone - as evidenced by just this site, other corners of the fandom aside for a second - makes me think $1 million is conservative).
