Rumor: Harbaugh to hold satellite camp in American Samoa!
We landed on the moon.
If recruits were available on the moon, Harbaugh would be there

Are we sure he hasn't already been there?
Space Bitches!
Is Dantonio's dealio
Emperor Zoltan recruits the northern quadrant
To only reach maybe 1-2 kids that could even play D1 ball, and no guarantee that they choose UM. It's a waste of money. Then again Harbaugh isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Jim Harbaugh is a machine. How does he not collapse every day from working so much?
And steak.
That's just his summer vacation. Every place he goes from now on is going to be called a satellite camp. Harbaugh taking a dump at a campsite in northern Indiana? Satellite camp in a northern Indiana campsite bathroom.
Build Pacific Islander Pipeline! Build it now!
And by being the first program to set up a satellite camp in American Samoa, this is exacly what will happen.
Whatever arbitrary and capricious rules the NCAA adopts related to satellite camps in future years, being the first major program to make it easy for Islanders to be noticed and recruited will be remembered for a long time. I have spent some years in the Pacific Islands, and one thing these people know is loyalty.
Mix the American Samoa satellite camp with a measure of Tony Tuioti, and a dash of Sione Houma, and Harbaugh's got a recipe for making Michigan a Pacific Islander football factory.
Which is something I cannot wait to see.
Houma is Tongan, not Samoan, but it still could help. Maybe Harbaugh will want to add Tonga to his visit.
Because the entire post is dedicated to the idea of building a "Pacific Islander Pipeline," and "making Michigan a Pacific Islander football factory."
This confusion is probably related to the distinction between Pacific Islanders in general and one Pacific Islander in particular.
This will gut BYU and Utah.
I like how you think!
when the Pacific finally engulfs the islands, the entire population will move lock stock and large people to Ann Arbor.
If we're in international waters we don't have to listen to the NCAA about anything, right?
Aircraft carrier satellite camp.
And we can launch ICBMs at Columbus from international waters and there is nothing Emmert can do about it.
It is legal.
I think it's hilarious. Almost as funny as the 14 camps we're having in Alabama to punish Saban for whining like a bitch.
Now, if Harbaugh does in fact hold this camp in American Samoa, and one of the other coaches point out that one of the campers is a bit overweight or fat, Harbaugh is required to respond thusly: "I wouldn't go so far as to call the brother fat. He's got a weight problem. But what's he gonna do, he's Samoan."
I upvote all Tony Rocky Horror references.
I just hope that one of those camps has its registration desk right on the 50-yard line at Bryant-Denny just so the Alabama staff can do something akin to electioneering right in front of the table if they so choose. It would be pretty funny to watch them humiliate themselves just to cause a distraction and impede attendance.
Dave Brandon/Steve Patterson approve!
Has Sam indicated when the Michigan Insider podcasts will return? I haven't been able to download for over a month now.
Podcast haven't gone anywhere, they just updated to a new host. I'm on mobile so I don't have the link handy, but if you use iTunes just do a search for the Michigan insider. Otherwise the podcast page on their website is also a good source.
Yeah - I haven't been able to use my primary podcast program since the switch - but that is probably a tech-deficiency on my end. You can get them via the default Apple podcast app -- it just isn't as user friendly imo.
Every segment now starts with an annoying Flo from Progressive spot.

You would. Don't lie.
Harsh.
I am on an Android phone and I switched to the "Podcast Addict" app basically because it has the new eppisodes.

All the podcasts are available there, just a new player that switched over about a month ago.
Flo killed the podcasts. No longer listenable. I will boycott that company til death.
When does the Harbaugh Network get started, and when will it purchase the B1G Network?
Because at this point, why the hell not?
Loving these daily Harbaugh updates around here
It actually makes a lot of sense. The percentage of nfl players from American Samoa is astronomical compared to its population.
don't just hold one. Hold several each summer and bounce to a few other islands as well. As you said, the likelihood of getting top players from the islands is enormous compared to the mainland
After that German WR got drafted I'd be surprised if there's not a camp in Berlin next summer

Not a bad idea. The idea of a German linebacker corps is terrifying.
All jokes aside, NFL Europe hung on the longest in Germany I think. So there would probably be a fair amount of interest.
Actual NFL games are broadcast in Germany, now.

This doesn't surprise me at all.
The only reason Jim wants to do this is so he will get all of the recruits from talent rich american samoa.

An anchorman meme in which Ron has no mustache? This is bothering me on a deep, personal level
It's just not right.

Who's this guy? Looks like a great statesman...
It's not a super talented area but can't pretend its not at least a little bit of the reason. Doesn't hurt to make connections with Polynesian families/coaches.
American Samoa State College of Higher Learning is gonna be pissed that Harbaugh is stealing their recruits
