Like Father, Like Daughter (Jim Harbaugh, Who Else?)

Is his daughter the one with all that body armor on her left arm and elbowing with the right?

#BODYBLOWS

Who's got it better than Coach Harbaugh?

2 fantastic hires this week and then watching daughter compete with fam. 

Go Blue!

Let her call the plays vs OSU in November!

Yeah, but who was doing the offensive play calling?

Man, some of the comments to his post are simply idiotic.  Some people really need to get a life. Sad really. 

Tomorrow she goes to the transfer portal.

Remember that during OSU week Jim, there was nothing aggresive about the gameplan during last year's game. 

I think it's a coded message. Jim knows there were issues on offense, and he's on the case!

I'd rather he was at the office tonight preparing for OSU. 

My twelve-year old daughter (and basketball player too) is often caught saying:

”Harbaugh is a total nut job, but he’s our nut job, and we’re lucky to have him.”

I respond, “You’re absolutely right, Ana.”

Ana rejoins, “Dad, of course you agree, I’ve learned that from you”

awesome.

Fuck ya!

And then went back to the North Carolina four corners. 

9th grade daughter is STILL too nice on the court...it's painful folks...PAINFUL!  

After seeing her WATCH a rebound fall to the girl next to her without my daughter's ever leaving the ground--BLASPHEMY, I know--I pleaded with her:

1. LEAVE YOUR FOULS ON THE COURT (because she's not on it enough to burn 5 anyway); and,

2. For the love of all things holy, MAKE THEM COUNT (because if you foul and that ball still goes in you haven't done your job, child.)

Kid's never gotten in trouble In school once, which is purportedly "good", but then I sit and watch all this NICENESS on the court in anguish, and the look in Coach's eyes like, "Why won't your daughter just make them pay for driving the lane?  Not maim (mostly), but PAY?" 

"I don't know," my eyes say back to Coach, then I pray:

"Dear Almighty God of Fouls in Heaven, if but that the demon that unpredictability and not infrequently enters my beautiful teenage daughter's soul to terrorize me (and turning that hair which remains on my scalp white) could leave but a small taste of such wrath to greet some poor unsuspecting girl wearing an opposing basketball jersey, and that my daughter would see my face in her opponent's, think of the cell phone privileges she has lost, and drive the ball through the other girl's nose (#NoRealInjuries), then I shall forever be at your mercy and know that you are the one and true Almighty Foul God. Amen."

UPDATE: Prayer and pleadings didn't seem to work, so it's pretty clear the Almighty Foul God isn't Lutheran (sorry, Lutherans), so I'll be praying in "Methodist" this week.

I also wanted to try a Laimbeer shrine with candles and a pentagram as a night-light in her room...but some older mom-type that lives in my house (primarily to instill order and reason) nixed the idea because apparently she can't think outside the box.  I'm going to re-submit the plan without the pentagram to see if I can get any traction.  [Fingers crossed.]

Not optimistic folks, but God Bless Coach Harbaugh's little foul machine!  [Tear in eye.]

One can only hope that the two hires this week & his daughter’s game action would stop the annual “JH to NFL” bs.

parenting 101..... raising kids to be productive adults

I can’t believe there’s an actual topic on this blog about a tweet of Harbaughs kid playing elementary basketball....slow times indeed around here. 

She is a true warrior, just like her dad
