Harbaugh on Drake Johnson: "He's doing well. I can tell you this: It would've killed a lesser man. He is blue-twisted steel."
God I love our coach.
I think some may have missed the joke...or just thought it wasn't funny.
Put a fork in this joke, because it's done.

/ taps mike to ensure it's still on ... more awkward silence /
I'll show myself out.
But, ya knooooooooowwww... How about that airline food?
Do you even forklift bro?
Fuck You
Yes, and it lifted his spirits.
....or maybe he just got a free hug???
Glad Drake was able to walk away from it, and it doesn't sound too serious. Hope he heals up fast.
Somebody should send him a care package of steak and whole milk, for extra vitamins.
Just sent him a milk steak and a side of my finest jellybeans. Hope that does the trick. Get well Drake!

Hahaha what a strange thing to say. I don't understand how this guy's mind works.
....and we thought that Barwis had strange strength and conditioning routines.

I imagine it's in the scrap pile now, as Drake is Cold Blue Twisted Steel.
Good thing Harbaugh arrived and got everyone drinking whole milk. No doubt Drake's bones are stronger now than ever before because he's not drinking that candy-ass 2% stuff...
Kids need to sit their ass down on the bus.
(I don't really, because you could kill someone, but if any of the kids in that video were my dumb-ass kids, they'd be getting it.)

Warning, your head will hurt reading those comments
Best thing to happen to M football in a long time.
According to what I read on reddit, he was laying down in the corner stretching and this bobcat-type ORV with a fork on the front (not an actual fork lift) was moving big cabinets into the fieldhouse. The driver couldn't see what was in front of him and the spotter neglected to mention Drake lying there. Apparently the bobcat drove over Drake's midsection and they were concerned about internal bleeding / organ damage. Everything seems to be okay, just bruised.
Sam Webb posted a picture of the type of vehicle somewhere, but I'm too lazy to link to it. Somebody did in the earlier thread.
Wow. We're joking because he is all right, but that could have been a devastating tragedy.
Holy crap. Those things weigh over 10,000 pounds. I'm glad he's okay because that could have been terrible.
I see now. It wasn't one of the bobcat skidsteers like I thought but one of these. Still they're over 5000 lb which is more than most cars. The fact that he only got some bruising is incredible.

And hey -- the official MST3K Facebook page shared the Drake/forklift article from Bleacher Report today, too. Wow. Michigan football and MST3K -- two of my favorite things in the universe, uniting as one today. Just like a Reese's cup.
Could have been worse...
I wish Harbaugh would just admit this was another exercise in toughness.
I feel like a shirt is in order for something like ''blue twisted steel'' or something to do with a forklift.

If the vehicle actually rolled over him it could have killed him. The fact that he wasn't even hurt is crazy.
He'll have a hell of a story to tell for the rest of his life, that is for sure.
