Conner Murphy interviewed on Harbaugh Sleep Over

Submitted by BoFan on

This is interesting because Conner tells the real story behind what happens on these visits including the background on the more crazy pics and tweets. 

We usually just get third hand stories and speculation.

Pretty funny, Harbaugh is doing great stuff.

I'm just waiting for the assholes at the NCAA to make a rule that states this is not allowed going forward.

While a sleep over with Harbaugh would probably be awesome, could you imagine how awful it would be if Mork D'antoni showed up at your door in the middle of the night scowling and spouting off about disrepekt? Think of the children

is just really funny to me that he actually stayed the night.  I think that any normal person would bail due to the sheer amount of awkwardness involved with the actual going to sleep process, brushing his teeth, etc.  This is a really funny story to me.

Can you imagine waking up in the morning, rubbing the sleep out of your eyes, pouring some coffee . . . and there's Jim freaking Harbaugh strolling down your hallway?

On second thought, who would have ever conceived of a coach doing this?

Harbaugh is awesome.  I have revealed to my wife that I have a head-over-heels man crush on him.

The sleeping over thing only seems weird until you realize that Murphys older brother played for him at Stanford, he baby sat Conor as a lad, and it's very likely he is pretty close to the whole family. They may even view him as kind of a crazy uncle.  With that perspective it's not that awkward or weird for Harbaugh he stay as a guest in their home and be hanging out wearing sweatpants. In the photo Conor tweeted out there was zero discomfort with either Murphy boy sitting side by side with a sweat-suited Harbaugh on their parents couch. Just chillin like family.

This is an aspect that mainstream media has been leaving out and really mischaracterizing the situation as if Harbaugh is an over-imposing weirdo forcing himself into their home.

The way Harbaugh is going about it is genuinely different and makes for a good story.  (That's probably part of Harbaugh's calculation.)

The thoughtful viewer would immediately recognize that forcing yourself into someone's home is not the way to land their signature on a Letter of Intent.

So you mean they aren't doing gay stuff? Wow i guess all those corny jokes from state fans were off the mark. 

 

Sidenote: Very surprised to see PSU fans make gay jokes about the Nordin sleepover after.... you know

Our whole family stayed up to greet Harbaugh. Upon his arrival, a lighthearted joke was made with regards to my grandma's strength, at which time he insisted on an armwrestling match with her. We thought he was going to hold back, but when her arm immediately hit the other side of the table, we knew he was serious. Afterward, we played some Monopoly, and Harbaugh insisted on playing as the iron, as he claimed that his entire physical being was made of iron, and it was only fitting. Late in the game, when he found himself coming upon a particularly tough section of the board, Harbaugh ate all of the properties, claiming that "you can't land on something that's not there." The game was declared over, at which point we all headed to bed. After Harbaugh slept his customary two hours, I awoke at 5:30 AM to a loud war cry that still haunts me in my daily life, and Harbaugh standing over me with a pillow, at which point he started hitting me with it as hard as he possibly could. I shortly realized that, loaded inside of his pillow were rolls of quarters. When I asked him about it, Harbaugh said that every advantage possible needs to be taken, and that much harder hits were going to come my way on the practice field. After waking everybody in the house up, Harbaugh then decided to initiate a milk-chugging competition. We had a whole gallon in the fridge, but not for long, after which point, Harbaugh insisted that we go to the store for another eleven gallons. After Harbaugh was thoroughly convinced that he won, even though nobody else was competing, he ran out the door screaming "SEE YOU IN ANN ARBOR, CONNER!", and sprinted in a northeastern direction. We were all confused as to why he didn't arrive in a car, but that really cleared things up. Coach Harbaugh is the greatest, and Michigan is definitely in my top list.

You're welcome, everyone.

The real story in all of this that no one is talking about is that I am legitimately surprised Harbaugh doesn't sleep in his customary Khakis, sweater and cleats.

"Did Jim wear pajamas?"...Whew, glad he asked that question and cleared up that important mystery. I just know the state fans (MSU, OSU and PSU) were all very disappointed in the answer.
