Harbaugh’s Spring Takes One Small Step For Players

If you’re afraid of space travel, don’t bother playing for Jim Harbaugh and his Michigan Wolverines. Next spring, Michigan will travel to the moon for a portion of their allotted practice time.

“We wanted to go to Mars,” Harbaugh explained in a phone interview from the Huntsville Space Center. “The trip was too long. Our AD said the season would be over, so we gave up on that.”

Harbaugh likes to take recruits on trips during a portion of spring practice. Among the reasons is the fact that Ann Arbor is one of the most awful places on the Earth. Try convincing recruits to live there when they could be, well frankly, anywhere else in the world. Or on another world. Which brings us back to the spring.

“Listen, most of our recruits, they’re pretty clueless anyway. We wouldn’t have a chance at getting them to play for us if they weren’t,” Harbaugh said with the sound of NASA crew rattling around behind him. “They won’t know the difference in the moon and Italy. But, you know, we make certain they’re not going to get sick or something from the space travel.”

Harbaugh has instituted a testing system that includes, among other things, a motion sickness test where one of the assistant line coaches holds the recruit by the feet upside down and swings him around and around. Two kickers who barfed almost immediately have already had offers rescinded.

Harbaugh is still scheming and plotting, trying to do anything he can to find one or two players that are at least mediocre.

“We just have to distract them and try to get them to not realize that if they play for us, they’re going to have to actually live here. We don’t want them to think about that. The moon is better. Much better.”

He's going to need all the gimmicks he can come up with, he makes $9 million per year to beat OSU. He lost 18 starters this season, I don't see him beating Meyer this year and his seat is blazing hot in 2018 when he goes 0-4 against OSU.

Yep they are facing a rough season next year, losing all that NFL talent. And he'll likely lose to OSU again.

But, obviously any UM fan would take him over Rich Rod or Hoke.
