4 Fights Every Day
"The Fight" has been a recurring theme with this team and some of you may have noticed the "4 Fights Every Day" hat worn by John Harbaugh over the weekend.
This is a motivational tool that Coach John has used with the Baltimore Ravens highlighting the four fights we face every day.
*Us vs. them
*Division from within
*Complacency
*Fatigue
Here's a little more backstory:

I can't believe ow lucky we all are to have all the Harbaugh's!!!
WHat is the proper nomenclature for a group of Harbaughs?
A Gaggle? Murder? Swarm? Brood?
I would lean more towards an "impact" or an "intensity" of Harbaughs, but it is something definitely worth discussing now that Jim is the head coach and we seem to have - by extension - access to multiple Harbaughs. Sort of in the same vein as having multiple Wheatleys might be an "effort of Wheatleys".
Either a Pride, Siege or Scourge of Harbaughs.
Does there have to be a refractory period between each of the Harbaighs when there are multiple?

No, but you really should wipe up after yourself.
I always do.
March 16th, 2015 at 10:14 AM ^
Sounds awesome and dangerous!
March 16th, 2015 at 11:18 AM ^
I second "Scourge of Harbaughs." I like to thing that's how our rivals will remember his time here.
March 16th, 2015 at 10:26 AM ^
This is the most logical choice.
It has to be "pride."
I'm down with Scourge...becuase toughness is what Michigan has been lacking.
If JH is the coach, would Gholston twist a helmet and get away with it? Would Morris take a late hit to the chin? While the O line would stood around with their thumbs up their asses with a concussed QB on the ground?

A flock of Harbeese? Harboosen? As in, "I saw many Harboosen on the way to work this morning"?
March 16th, 2015 at 10:03 AM ^
We have all the Harboosen a man could want?
March 16th, 2015 at 10:14 AM ^
A clan of Harbaughians
March 16th, 2015 at 10:16 AM ^
Perhaps Multiple Harbasims ?
A Wall of Harbaugh?
March 16th, 2015 at 10:38 AM ^
WHat is the proper nomenclature for a group of Harbaughs?
An asylum.
March 16th, 2015 at 10:53 AM ^
Murder
March 16th, 2015 at 11:29 AM ^
Definitely should be a Murder of Harbaughs
March 16th, 2015 at 12:29 PM ^
Would you say that we have a plethora of Harbaughs?
Why do people think families need apostrophes? The plural of Harbaugh is Harbaughs, not Harbaugh's.
I see this constantly - especially on Christmas cards. ("The Smith's wish you a Merry Christmas.) I don't get it.
I'm with you. My autocorrect is the most annoying thing ever. I just figured out how to turn it off bc it is an early version and changes it to 's every single time.
March 16th, 2015 at 11:03 AM ^
It is the same thing when so many people type, for example, "TD's" and not "TDs." Using "TD's" is not the plural version of the "TD" acronym.
March 16th, 2015 at 11:01 AM ^
All of the Harbaughs' what?
not just Jim, but the impact the whole Harbaugh family will have on this program will be immense.
You said it. "The impact the whole Harbaugh family will have on this program . . . . "
THERE WILL BE NO HUG
Good point. The entire Harbaugh family will def have a strong impact on this football team and university for a long time to come. What an awesome family the Harbaughs are.
LIES! It refers to the fact that John and Jim fight 4 times every day. One verbal argument, one wrestling match, one jousting match on horseback, and one kickboxing match with broken glass on their gloves just like in Bloodsport.
I believe you're mistaken about the kickboxing portion. It's been replaced this year by a strongest handshake contest since Jim is no longer in the NFL.
March 16th, 2015 at 10:03 AM ^
But Oakland is still in the running...
March 16th, 2015 at 10:05 AM ^
Maybe a harvest of Harboughs?
March 16th, 2015 at 11:11 AM ^
of Diety should be created
March 16th, 2015 at 11:38 AM ^
epiphany of Harbaughs.
March 16th, 2015 at 11:54 AM ^
I thought this was going to be about four fights happening during each practice, which would indicate that the level of intensity in practice was high.
I've heard enough sloganeering and seen enough motivational t-shirts and hats to last me three lifetimes. If slogans and confident words by themselves meant jack squat, we'd have seen more victories to accompany "Hard Edge" and "Hold the Rope" and "Football is a tough man's game" and "This is Michigan, fergodsakes" and "If it ain't broke, break it!"
Slogans/motivational phrases = Sales & marketing
Excellent coaching = actually making a quality product
March 16th, 2015 at 12:03 PM ^
If I thought the slogans were the iceberg, I'd agree. But really, it's the tip.
When you see the video, JH isn't sloganeering. He's coaching like a wild beast. He's not a sales guy on the field, he's a football coach, and a damn good one. How do I know? Slogans mean nothing when the games start, only results, and...we know the results so far:
Stanford, SF winning a lot of football games. Soon, we will win football games..and when that starts to happen, the slogans will not matter.

is the fight or division within, or among the team members. Usually those outside the team never hear about that fight.
