Youth Football Camp with Harbaugh today in Ann Arbor
Jim Harbaugh hosted a football camp for 2nd through 7th graders in Washtenaw county earlier today. His goal was to teach the kids 2 to 3 things, and to focus on how safe football is. Warning: this is from the Freep.

Money quotes for those who want to avoid a Freep link:
Don’t know of any other sport that requires toughness, courage, discipline, being on time, teaching youngsters to be a part of a team,” Harbaugh said. “So many good things come from being on a football team.
There’s a lot of people attacking football these days, talking about it being too rough of a sport or too tough. I feel like there’s a real prejudice against football at all levels. But there’s just a misconception about football. ... Football’s never been safer than it is now with the rule changes and technique changes.
Any utes show up?
any what ?

Yep, there were utes, but there's no count or estimate in the article.
And in true Harbaugh fashion, he announced the winners of the race.
Congrats to the fastest youngsters at today's clinic. 1. Cole Cabana (Dexter), 2. Addison Coquilard (Slauson) & 3. Connor Easthope (Slauson)

Are we proud of this? The guy is CLEARLY recruiting 2nd graders since you can already see who will cut it by then and who won’t. Not a fan of these shady recruiting tactics.
The Kindergarten Satellite Camps!
You can't argue that. It will more than likely only get safer. Hopefully these kids will appreciate that. Harbaugh pushes the envelope as usual.
Is there a better ambassador for the game? I think not.
JH is pure class.
