Great photos of the team from the new Harbaugh book
This was published a week ago in the New York Times - sorry if already posted, but totally worth a second look if it was. These are from a book Turnley co-authored with Jim Harbaugh. I especially love the one with the team lounging in the steel trough ice baths. Chesson and Poggi.

Brian referenced this article earlier in the week, but the pictures are so great I'm glad to see the article again.

Didn't see this earlier, so thanks for posting. My personal favorite was Harbaugh pretending to be asleep on the plane. Nice try coach, we all know you never sleep.

on a plane!

Two comments:
1. The black and white photos really make the moment special;
2. The one with all of them in the ice bath tubs, with the two fellas front-and-center gazing longingly into each other's eyes, arms around shoulders, is a bit homoerotic. NTTAWWT, of course...

Which is to say not in the least.

Agreed! I think my favorite part of it is that Harbaugh included his letter to the team from after the MSU loss. That man has a way with words!

I couldn't help but laugh at the shot of Harbaugh sleeping on the plane...with his cleats on.
September 23rd, 2016 at 12:17 PM ^
I will admit that I chuckled at that photo too, because it is another photo that is quintessential Harbaugh - always prepared, even when napping on a plane.
All the photos were great though - I can't believe I missed this article. Thanks for sharing, OP.

So that's what "selling your soul" looks like to PSU apparently. I can sure see why they'd prefer Franklin over the hellish experience Harbaush seems to be inflicting on the team.

He has rubbed people the wrong way in Ann Arbor. Who, some media members?
September 23rd, 2016 at 1:16 PM ^
Yep, Drew Sharp is particularly butt-hurt by Harbaugh.

Man these are just awesome. Need to see an entire season's worth in black & white. Looks very cool.

Quiet down, you! Black and white is classic! Now, I am going to the apothecary to get some leeches and do a good blood-letting!

There is nothing more powerful than black and white photography. Unless you are putting together a reference book, B&W makes you focus on the content.

For some reason, the slide show wasn't coming up for me when I clicked over last time from Brian's UV post.
The post of Wheatley Sr and Wheatley Jr when Jr got hurt is really touching.
Also, the technique of flipping the chairs upside down and using them as reclined backrests is really clever!

But there's one glaring problem with one of the captions:
"Coach Harbaugh, just before leading his team down the tunnel into one of the largest stadiums in the country,..."
Your average 8-year old Michigan fan knows how the correct caption would read. Does anybody at the NYT actually research their topic before publishing?

Take it up with David Turnley, Pulitzer Prize winner. I'm sure he'll be receptive.

These are great. You can really see the love the teammates have for each other. A nice glimpse into what it's like to be on the Michigan football team.

Go Blue!

I love the one of Harbaugh resting on the plane. It's got a sort of Norman Rockwell quality to it. It's humanizing but the cleats add a bit of humor to it.

I highly recommend picking up this book if it's in your budget. It weighs a ton, but the photos literally leap off the page. Not sure I'd ever leave this out on an actual coffee table, but certainly a great way to remember Jim's first season!

chisled from granite? Prove me wrong.

to me how others perceive our program and the way our coach runs it, and thinks that he is some kind of prmia donna who doesn't promote great esprit de corps among his players. And all you have to do is look at those telling photos of Michigan football players to see how untrue that belief is. In fact, the ignorant PennLive writers who co-wrote an opinion piece the other day listing reasons why they would rather have James Franklin leading the Penn State football program than Jim Harbaugh ought to watch that NY Times slide show and maybe they'd get a small inkling of reality about MICHIGAN FOOTBALL and the proud alum and former All-American quarterback and now highly successful coach who passionately oversees it.
They'll get that message loud and clear on Saturday afternoon.

to take David's documentary photography class in 2012.
Immensely talented man. Although his ego does have the tendency to get out of control, I have a great amount of respect for him.
Great photos, I'm glad he was able to build this relationship with harbaugh.

Harbaugh on a plane during the June camp circuit wearing cleats is maybe the best thing Ive ever seen.
