Like Father, Like Daughter (Jim Harbaugh, Who Else?)
4th - 5th grade b-ball game, Fun watching the girls compete, my wife told my daughter that she was playing too aggressive and my daughter told my wife “if you’re not playing aggressive then you’re not trying hard enough”... never been prouder of her! pic.twitter.com/5oK3SJDHB2

Chip off the ol' block!

Maybe she can play safety or linebacker for us against Ohio State next year...
January 11th, 2019 at 11:26 PM ^
Take all of my upvotes, which means you get one upvote. Hilarious....
January 12th, 2019 at 5:00 AM ^
Why not? everything else has been tried.
January 11th, 2019 at 10:35 PM ^
Is his daughter the one with all that body armor on her left arm and elbowing with the right?
January 11th, 2019 at 10:47 PM ^
I think so. I believe his kids attend St. Francis
January 12th, 2019 at 1:00 AM ^
Preventative. In honor of Dad’s left elbow.

Who's got it better than Coach Harbaugh?
2 fantastic hires this week and then watching daughter compete with fam.
Go Blue!
January 11th, 2019 at 10:49 PM ^
Let her call the plays vs OSU in November!
January 11th, 2019 at 10:51 PM ^
Yeah, but who was doing the offensive play calling?
January 11th, 2019 at 11:02 PM ^
Man, some of the comments to his post are simply idiotic. Some people really need to get a life. Sad really.
January 11th, 2019 at 11:16 PM ^
Whatever. I'll make weird twitter comments whenever I want, you're not the boss of m...oh wait... apparently you are. Never mind, carry on...
January 12th, 2019 at 1:18 AM ^
Actually, he is the “bos” of you. That reminds me of a kid I went to high school with named Jeff Bos.

Tomorrow she goes to the transfer portal.
January 12th, 2019 at 10:01 AM ^
I am confused - isn't that the protal?
January 11th, 2019 at 11:37 PM ^
Remember that during OSU week Jim, there was nothing aggresive about the gameplan during last year's game.
January 12th, 2019 at 6:09 AM ^
James Yoder-is that you?
January 11th, 2019 at 11:37 PM ^
I think it's a coded message. Jim knows there were issues on offense, and he's on the case!
January 12th, 2019 at 12:06 AM ^
I'd rather he was at the office tonight preparing for OSU.
January 12th, 2019 at 12:33 AM ^
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”
January 12th, 2019 at 12:57 AM ^
I’m with you and your daughter. He isn’t perfect, but I wouldn’t trade him for anyone.
January 12th, 2019 at 10:28 AM ^
Damn right, he's ours. We rise and fall with him all the way. That's why I don't understand the vicious hatred we see from some posters here. They're not my kind of Michigan fans, and I'd like to think they're not alumni.
January 12th, 2019 at 12:22 PM ^
"Total nut job" is a bit much - he just has some quirks. Just keeps it interesting.
January 12th, 2019 at 4:34 PM ^
That meme is so overplayed. If you listen to his podcast you get a fuller picture of the dude. He's more quirkly--and actually kind of a dork! But he clearly has his priorities straight and he adores his family, coaches, and players. He can coach Michigan for as long as he wants as far as I'm concerned.
January 12th, 2019 at 12:52 AM ^
awesome.
January 12th, 2019 at 2:00 AM ^
Fuck ya!
January 12th, 2019 at 10:06 AM ^
Hopefully a typo. Ya or yeah?
January 12th, 2019 at 6:16 AM ^
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.]

Good luck, Jet...
January 12th, 2019 at 10:04 AM ^
Ugh for the blasphemous and anemic comedy attempt. John Wesley
January 12th, 2019 at 11:01 AM ^
Duly noted, JW, and Go Blue! 〽️
January 12th, 2019 at 8:33 AM ^
One can only hope that the two hires this week & his daughter’s game action would stop the annual “JH to NFL” bs.
January 12th, 2019 at 9:33 AM ^
January 12th, 2019 at 9:44 AM ^
Just spit-ballin’ here, but what’s considered acceptable contact in hockey may not be acceptable in basketball.
January 12th, 2019 at 11:03 AM ^
Not to mention the stick he carried with him on the court was probably frowned upon.

parenting 101..... raising kids to be productive adults
January 12th, 2019 at 11:19 AM ^
Parenting 102, raising kids to be emotionally healthy, productive adults.
January 12th, 2019 at 12:37 PM ^
Parenting 103: be in your mid thirties, have no children, secretly bask in how a bunch of your buddies have children and you don't, and criticize how other people raise their children.
January 12th, 2019 at 4:07 PM ^
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.
January 14th, 2019 at 8:01 AM ^
She is a true warrior, just like her dad
