B1G coaches' favorite musical artists (you oughta know Harbaugh's favorite)
August 25th, 2023 at 2:15 PM ^
I wish the local Ann Arbor media would have conducted this survey for JV assistant coaches about 5 years ago so I could have given a shoutout to Rush, the greatest band of all time.
August 25th, 2023 at 2:20 PM ^
I mean, I love Rush! But GOAT? I dunno, man...
August 25th, 2023 at 2:23 PM ^
It's half serious, half inside joke from the movie "I love you, man" (in which Rush actually appear), where Jason Segel and Paul Rudd's characters are obsessed with the band.
Also, in these kinds of discussions I tend to make it a 'well yeah, The Beatles, but besides them....'
August 25th, 2023 at 2:39 PM ^
What's funny is that I'm one of the very few people I know who doesn't have a strong opinion about Rush (vaguely positive and they seem like cool guys but don't really seek them out to listen to)
However in my immediate circle of friends and acquaintances, some of the biggest Rush haters are men and some of the biggrst fans are women, which.... defies a stereotype or two LOL
August 25th, 2023 at 2:20 PM ^
What the answers should have been:
Illinois' Bret Beilema: Elvis, during his fat period
Iowa's Kirk Ferentz: Pat Boone
Indiana's Tom Allen: Rage Against The Machine
Maryland's Mike Locksley: Cee-Lo Green
Michigan's Jim Harbaugh: Barenaked Ladies
Michigan State's Mel Tucker: Kanye West
Minnesota's PJ Fleck: Pitbull
Nebraska's Matt Rhule: 311
Northwestern's David Braun: 404 File Not Found
Ohio State's Ryan Day: Sam Smith
Rutgers' Greg Schiano: Hanson
Penn State's James Franklin: Kenny G
Purdue's Ryan Walters: Outkast
Wisconsin's Luke Fickell: Jonas Brothers

barenaked ladies are the worst excuse for a musical group..... curse the day a record label signed them.
August 25th, 2023 at 2:36 PM ^
I like your take better than the real list.
I also loved it when Pat Boone put out his heavy metal album "No More Mr. Nice Guy." It's epic in a very strange way.

I just expected them to all come to agreement on Josh Groban being #1
August 25th, 2023 at 2:32 PM ^
Too soon.
This will always be too soon...
August 25th, 2023 at 2:33 PM ^
There’s no way James Franklin likes Jay-Z. Everything Franklin does seems fake and calculated.
August 25th, 2023 at 3:19 PM ^
I can believe it--Jay-Z is basically the founder of yay-for-capitalism-and-conspicuous-consumption in hip hop, so I can believe Frames is into that. I would have been shocked if he'd said Public Enemy or KRS-One.
August 25th, 2023 at 3:37 PM ^
Sounds exactly like the kind of person who would pretend Jay-Z is their favorite artist.
August 25th, 2023 at 2:43 PM ^
Jim strikes me as the kind of guy who'd have Alanis play at his house and to ask her to tell him in confidence who "You Oughta Know" was really written about.
August 25th, 2023 at 2:53 PM ^
Dave Coulier
August 25th, 2023 at 3:45 PM ^
Jim strikes you as Larry David? I don’t get that vibe at all.
August 25th, 2023 at 2:51 PM ^
Harbaugh with the only female artist.
August 25th, 2023 at 3:02 PM ^
I know if Rich Rod were coaching in the conference it would be Josh Groban.
August 25th, 2023 at 3:14 PM ^
Yeah, never heard of most of them. Justin Moore? Pat Green? Citizen Cope? Morgan Wallen? I'm assuming these are country artists right? Because I do not do country music.
August 25th, 2023 at 3:30 PM ^
"It's a free cheeseburger, when you've already paid..."

Gold
August 25th, 2023 at 3:35 PM ^
I've never heard of 8 of these musical artists. Of the ones I'm familiar with, the only one I'd go out of my way to listen to is Prince.
I don't believe for a second that Harbaugh listens to Alanis Morissette. He listens to college football fight songs and Gregorian chants.
August 25th, 2023 at 3:36 PM ^
I would have assumed Gordon Lightfoot for Jim. But, somehow, Alanis Morrisette seems fitting.
August 25th, 2023 at 3:45 PM ^
This list makes me cringe. Aside from Prince and The Boss.
August 25th, 2023 at 4:13 PM ^
Other than Prince and Schiano's pandering, these are all horrible choices.
August 25th, 2023 at 4:48 PM ^
I no longer have much hope for Purdue. Doing anything MeLLLLLLL does can't be a good sign.
August 25th, 2023 at 5:53 PM ^
Dont care, lets keep this as a football blog
August 25th, 2023 at 6:13 PM ^
Only ONE duplicate?! That surprises me.
August 25th, 2023 at 6:16 PM ^
Thought Harbaugh would say Drake " Jumpman, Jumpman them boys up to sumthin"
August 25th, 2023 at 6:17 PM ^
Prince wins with the mode.
August 25th, 2023 at 6:48 PM ^
MercyMe lmaoo
August 25th, 2023 at 6:53 PM ^
Day and Franklin are so on brand. Their answers to these questions always strike me as trying way too hard to be relatable to recruits
August 25th, 2023 at 11:05 PM ^
Great pick by Locksley.
Mel and Walters coming in solid with Prince.
Schiano had to pick the hometown hero.
Lol, Harbaugh.
