On signing day extravaganza being a circus:

 

"As a youngster I remember the circus. I remember ... looking forward to it. Saving my pennies up and dollars up because the circus was coming to town. Couldn't wait. Every circus that I ever went to, I always left feeling really great about it. Thought it was a lot of fun," Harbaugh said. "That's the way I feel about this. Much anticipated. It was a heck of a lot of fun."

He is certifiable, but he is our ceritfiable, and we embrace his form of insanity.

He pisses off the ACC and SEC, improves the situation for his players and manages to include a great spring break on the school's dime and gets a ton of publicity for our program, all at the same time.

Not bad...

Its so much fun to have a coach who not only is great at coaching and relating to the kids but also has charisma and understands todays social media driven world...Harbaugh is the kind of guy who could end up with the biggest statue outside of a college stadium to ever be built..Could be, now, lets get back to work.

I love following football and reading about all this fun stuff.
We have our guy now and the time has come to produce.
We always have had good talent and recruiting and cool helmets. Sick of the paper champion fallback here. Living off of history.
The time has come. We MUST WIN NOW.
Sparty must go down. OSU too.
Hope we live up to expectations because if we don't.... oh boy ...are we going to hear it.

Random incomplete thoughts by me. Carry on.

The one thing that any Harbaugh team has never failed to do is live up to expectations.  This team will produce on the field.  Will it win every game?  Nobody knows that - shit happens and there are a couple of talented teams on the schedule that won't roll over (notably OSU).  My thought on that - so long as UM shows up, plays its heart out, and plays to WIN, I can take a loss.  The suck factor will be there, but losing hurts more when you don't compete for it.  That SUCKS.  This team, so long as Harbaugh is coach, will compete for everything - and the opponent that doesn't bring everything it has to every play will not win that game.

Well said. I agree. Harbaugh instills competitiveness like no other. I think we will have a great team this year. I have no doubt about us in 2016. I mean, we do have some great teams away but we will compete.
2017 looks like a true litmus test for our staff. If hatbaugh is as good as we all think, the loss of seniors shouldn't affect us that much. Everywhere he's been by year three....LOOK OUT.
I just feel like the last few years there have been a lot of "perfect storm" seasons ... Working against us in a bad way. Hopefully Harbaugh has things shored up in 2017.

no one's attacking him for verified, embarassing reasons. It's always guys trying to take a swipe at him and they generally look stupid or Harbaugh tweets back and makes them look stupid. Gotta be good for recruiting nationally

The circus remark had me chuckling - basically a live subtweet from Jim Harbaugh, and it was fun to watch him essentially throw some of the remarks which have come out of this contrived controversy right back at some of the people creating it. Just more proof that he really doesn't care what you might think, but then he shouldn't.

Ringmaster, while all the naysayers and coaches critical of Harbaugh's methods are nothing but rodeo monkeys, riding in circles but getting nowhere.

Just wait until Harbaugh wins even more games. The haters will be out in full force and I cannot wait.

First time I ever went to the circus, we had seats in the front row. A clown walks by and suddenly throws a baseball at my head from point-blank range. Just as it's about to smash into my face and kill me, the ball stops in mid-air, inches from my nose. Turns out the ball was attached to a string that the clown was holding. Scared he ever loving hell out of me. So, that was a bad time for about 1.5 seconds. But then I realized what had happened and thought it was funny and everything was cool.

He is on a roll with his trolling. He is a perfect representative of U of M- tough minded, competitive, growth oriented, positive, ethical, and creative. I would not ever trade him for another coach, no one holds a candle to him. I can't wait until he is on our sideline rocking a jumpman and a skinny block M, we will be the most hated team in the country- it will be amazing.

They kick the crap out of Florida, sign a great recruiting class with Rashan Gary and now are making all this commotion. Doing good things in the whole process. Fuck I'm loving it over here in Fargo. However, the Jim being crazy and too extreme talk Ive not fully understood. He's just a zero tollerance guy for idiots and bullshit. Try and work for my dad or uncles and I'll show you nuts. I got smacked in the jaw a few years back by my own so called loving father because I wasn't steering the truck straight on a narrow and very messed up road. I was nervous. I guess he was too. Didn't hurt too bad but still! Oh and a true crazy man runs down the middle of a two-way and four lane traffic at 7:30 a.m. yelling at people as they pass at 40 mph. I just witnessed that this past week. Jim isn't crazy folks!

Harbaugh reminds me of Bill Laimbeer. Everyone hated him, but everyone wanted him on their team. Glad he's here. Hope he just flat out stays.
