My ongoing battle against the tyranny of the eastern time zone.  It won't matter and someone I work with will schedule yet another 8:00am eastern conference call where all east coasters are all happy and awake.

what's the deal with this?  Are people just unable to comprehend that there are people on their team that live in different time zones?  Is it really that hard to comprehend?  Who schedules meetings at 8AM anyway?

 

I'm currently working for a company that is HQed in PST and it makes things so much easier.  When they want to schedule early morning conference calls it no longer bothers me.

Go Blue!

Edit:  I searched DirectTV and found it on channel 239.  I just watched the segment and it was cool to see how excited Rich Eisen is for Michigan football and how much a fan of his school he still is.  Crazy to think he was a freshman and his first on campus QB was JH!

He may have been a couple of years later but I wonder if Eisen covered Harbaugh when he wrote for the Daily. From the quote it sounds like Harbaugh knows Eisen is a Wolverine.

  • Last time in the Big House: 1987 (NFL strike year)
  • Did not hear the outcry from fans for him to come back to Michigan while he was still coaching: "Head down in the bunker"
  • Did get some texts from friends
  • Dreamed about coaching at Michigan since he was 9 yrs old
  • No pros and cons list, just a dream
  • DJ Durkin officially announced; coaching staff coming together great
  • Eisen: "What to expect right away?" --> "Hope for expectations, work at it. Expectations will be high. Team running/condiitioning started. Lifting starts tomorrow"
  • Eisen "Adverse to starting freshman QB?" -->"We're adverse to talking about things, we want to do things."
  • Eisen "Do I root for Ohio State?" --> "I'm going to be rooting for Ohio State. I'm a Midwesterner. For BigTen football"

Very good, nice and succint.  I really feel like JH is really excited about what he has in the cupboard (players) and that his staff is turning out how he generally wanted it to.   In his press conference and other interviews/guest apperances I believe he has been very vague because he wants his team to focus on the changes being made.  He does not want his players to focus on his public expectations.  

I think that he is literally starting from the foundation and for that to occur he knows how to play the media hype game.  With media/social media info so readily available he knows he can not expect that his players wont watch what he says publicly.  So in tempering those national expectations he can pull in house fixin and inspiring!  

Go Blue!
