What's Up With Harbaugh's Left Elbow?

Submitted by huntmich on

This will probably be a quick answer, but I couldn't find anything definitive on a quick Google search so I came here.  What's up with Harbaugh's left elbow? I've seen many pictures like the one below.  Is it a result of his breaking an arm in the Michigan State game?  It freaks me out a little bit.

NO, IT'S NAWT A TOOOOOMAH!!! 

 

EDIT: This Arnold quote made me think of another possibility. Remember the original "Total Recall"? Remember when the Martian freedom fighter - Kuato - turned out to be just a head growing out of another dude's stomach? Maybe Harbaugh has Kuato growing out of his elbow???

Perhaps it's time for JH to look into some biomechanical upgrades to the old body. I, for one, look forward to having a cyborg head coach with enthusiasm unknown to augmented mankind.

The arm was injured during his sophmore year 1984 vs MSU. 

The ball was free and he reached out for it while lying on his back and an MSU defender went straight for the arm not the ball. It happened early in the game which we then lost. In his first start earlier that year vs Miami Fla, the defending national champions he won.

 Then in his junior and senior years he went 6-0 vs MSU, OSU. & ND.  

He also beat South Carolina on the road in '85 and Nebraska in the Fiesta Bowl at end of "85 season.

The only big games he ever lost were at Iowa 12-10 in '85 when the teams were ranked 1 & 2.

And the Rose Bowl vs Arizona State at end of his career. That loss turned out to be a blessing since ASU was coached by John Cooper. The Buckeyes were so impressed by that they hired Cooper who we then went 10-2-1 against.
