Submitted by Wendyk5 on

Is Harbaugh's formal introduction before the game or at halftime?

From my connections in the department, what I heard is there is supposed to be a video played at halftime and then Harbaugh will be intoduced and address the crowd briefly. Nothing too crazy except that it's JIM HARBAUGHHHHHH

Thanks to those of you that are on this. I'm on vacation with my family and all our activities today are being orchestrated around the Harbaugh announcements.

The desire for adulation but Jim really needs to work those phones and bring in the dudes - prospective players and assistant coaches - before his voice is completely down.

Anybody else notice that Jim's strained voice today sounded a good bit like Bo's gravelly voice?

..is chock full of quiet confidence despite all the GIFs of sideline blowups, etc. He didn't get baited into guarantees, etc. but you can tell he feels good about going toe-to-toe with Sparty and Brutus.

I think this kind of overwhelming to him. Not in a bad way, but he is realizing a life long dream for him and his family and it's all happening so quickly. I mean he coached an NFL game two days ago and hopped a plane and now is addressing a crowd in Crisler. I doubt he's had much time to even gather thought on a speech. I think he is just taking a conservative approach and avoiding over the top rhetoric for the sake is appeasing a rabid crowd. I respect it. It's still sinking in for him and you know he gonna get to work.

Let's face it. He hated every moment of that. And I can understand and appreciate him all the more. He doesn't want adulation, he wants to build a team. I am in Cleveland, and Lebron WANTED all the homecoming hype, and it hasn't gone well, because the effort is harder than the anticipation.

Mad respect for Jimmy clearly uncomfortable with the spotlight...he said as much in his PC.
