A few bubbles from the submarine
Nothing terribly earth shattering but tonight I worked out with the high school head coach of one of our current players and he shared a few nuggets from a conversation they had over the weekend so I thought I'd share:
1. With Hoke they had a catered chef who basically cooked to order whatever the players wanted and they had as much as they liked. He said it was like eating at a 5 star restaurant every day and it was fantastic. With Harbaugh there are basically no meal choices and if you don't like it - that's too bad
2. The past two years the players stayed in nice, new, air-conditioned rooms where they had a lot of space and personal freedom. With Harbaugh they are crammed into an old, dirty, non-air-conditioned room that's hot as hell. Note: where are they exactly? Sounds like my old dorm room.
3. Under Hoke this player had no clue why he'd play, get pulled, start or be benched. He said there was little communication and he was very confused on what got him playing time or what got him pulled from the game. With Harbaugh he knows exactly where he stands on the depth chart every single day (he said it's updated every day) and he knows exactly what the coaches want to see in him to improve his standing.

You enjoy farting in the bath tub.

It's like your own jacuzzi, huh?
August 18th, 2015 at 11:14 PM ^
"Heey! This is all right! When I was a kid, we wanted bubbles, we had to fart in the tub!"

It's a hot tub. Jacuzzi is a brand name.
August 19th, 2015 at 6:19 AM ^
effervescence.
August 19th, 2015 at 7:16 AM ^
I would put it otherwise, but since I'm from snobby Northville I'll go with the above.

I am married man with a kid and I take baths whenever I can. They're a great place to read, sleep and generally escape the insanity of life. I don't add bubbles or candles and all that crap, but I certainly wouldn't look down on a feller if he did.

Don't downplay the pleasure of epsom salts.

I like to take a few beers in the tub with me and then when I am finished they float around like toy battleships.
August 19th, 2015 at 10:21 AM ^
Bath beer is almost as good as shower beer.
August 19th, 2015 at 3:16 PM ^
It's a tradeoff. Shower beer tends to get shower water in it. Bath water tends to get bath beer in it. It comes down to if you would rather drink shower water or bathe in bath beer.
August 19th, 2015 at 10:33 AM ^
Maybe it's a Polish thing (I'm 1st gen) but pretty much everyone in my family would rather bathe. Showers are for when you're in a big hurry or have something toxic on you.
Take a bath with your wife. Shave her legs (and whatever else) for her. Do a good job and I guarantee you'll have a good night after the bath.

I find it odd that sitting in a tepid pool of your own filth isnt an issue with you.
August 19th, 2015 at 8:24 AM ^
That's your problem right there. Nobody who knows anything about taking baths does so in tepid water. You've been doing it wrong (although I'm not surprised, consider the source of the comment).
August 19th, 2015 at 9:56 AM ^
By the end?
It's tepid unless you have a whirlpool and then you're not "taking a bath" you're "in a hot tub" ...
August 19th, 2015 at 12:19 PM ^
This man. At least once a week in the winter until I got a hot tub.
August 18th, 2015 at 11:12 PM ^
and then a big brown shark came
August 19th, 2015 at 8:33 AM ^
I always thought it was a brown trout...

Have you ever stepped foot in West Quad? I'd wager two to five of them are in my old room (it was a double).
August 18th, 2015 at 11:27 PM ^
They actually just renovated West Quad for this year.

Didn't South Quad just get a major renovation in the last few years? Or was that just the dining hall area
August 18th, 2015 at 11:27 PM ^
The dining hall, all bathrooms, the basement, and first floor study lounges were redone. But the rooms were untouched so walking down a hallway on the 5th floor would look exactly the same as it did in the 1980s, but then the lobby and dining hall are shockingly new and luxurious. Huge juxtaposition

I'm going to start referring to Harbaugh as the "Boggler."

August 18th, 2015 at 10:47 PM ^
May be a few will just give up and transfer.
August 18th, 2015 at 11:35 PM ^
the weak ones.

It all depends on what type of material you pick for your counter top.
August 18th, 2015 at 11:50 PM ^
Sorry, can't help you. I was never fortunate enough to attend a private school in southeast Michigan where I might have learned those kinds of answers...

Don't forget that part.

I like those bubbles you just released (smelly or not!). Harbaugh is running a boot camp instead of a luxury resort, and the end result is going to be a team with a level of toughness we just haven't seen in a while.
Bo didn't pamper his players at Michigan and Mike Ditka didn't pamper his players in Chicago. Harbaugh learned well from both of them, just like he learned well from his own dad. He knows what he needs to do to make the Miichigan program successful again and this is just a small part of it.
