Any inside info on the 2017 Football Documentary?
I brought up the doc as a possible reason for Harbaugh's subdued demeanor this year on the "Where did Jim Harbaugh go??" post by JWG Wolverine.
But I haven't heard anything about the doc even during game broadcasts. Google has given me nothing other than the basics of the deal.
I'm in Boston so haven't been at the games, but has anyone noticed more sideline cameras? Heard any scuttlebutt from people inside or near the program?
Are players/coaches enjoying it? Or are they all annoyed at cameras everywhere all the time and that's why our offense sucks? I blame the documentary. Harbaugh might have finally over-Harbaughed himself.

I enjoyed when HBO did that all access look at FSU last year. I hope we get many good Harbaughisms.

Saw a whole load of very expensive cameras being loaded out of a van next to the tunnel on Saturday, plus a camera crew doing a pretty decently long interview with Jake Long outside the stadium in the early afternoon. There was also a pretty decent camera presence around Jake Butt when he showed up about an hour before game time. All those folks had Athletic Department credentials. Seems to me this project is where they came from...

Did anyone try to get Jake Long in a uni with Ulizio's number? I mean, it clearly didn't happen, but did anyone even try? That would have been nice...

Says they are pretty embedded but at the same time, if a player or coach requests that something not be shot or the cameras be turned off, the contract language dictates the cameras must oblige. I don't know how much final say U of M has in the editing process but the fact they can tell them to stop rolling means it's not like some Big Brother type scenario going on inside Schembechler.

Not a ton of detail on what they're filming, but a lot on the contract itself. And it seems that Michigan has a lot of control.

Was really looking forward to this until we shit the bed against MSU. Might have to have a finger on the fast forward button.
