Harbaugh Tells (Old) Great Story About Speight and O'Korn Trying to Secretly Gain Upper Hand
College Sports Nation from Sirius XM has been at Michigan today, and the interviews have been GREAT. Harbaugh just told a story about how WIlton Speight and John O'Korn have been trying to secretly gain the upper hand this summer.
Harbaugh said that each of them were calling the receivers and running backs for throwing sessions this summer, and they didn't want the other guy to find out about it. The plan blew up when Speight called one of the receivers who is O'Korn's roommate. O'Korn found out about it and showed up at Speight's "secret" throwing session.
"I loved it," Harbaugh said. I love it, too.
And anyone who thinks Harbaugh is bad with the media needed to be listening to that interview. He was engaging, forthcoming, funny and sounded like he wanted to be there.
(EDIT: My apologies. He has apparently told this same story a billion times this summer and I've missed it. So it's a great story but not a new story.)

So club stupid has a third member it seems.

Count me in

Apparently I've been in my own submarine all summer.

The OP is supposed to feel bad. So nobody cares if you haven't heard the story yet.
August 24th, 2016 at 4:08 PM ^
I regret the error.
August 24th, 2016 at 4:20 PM ^
I'll jump in too. First I have heard of it, thanks for the post, OP.

I can't figure out if Sirius XM is on AM or FM.
August 25th, 2016 at 12:35 AM ^
It's AM or PM. Stupid old people...
August 24th, 2016 at 2:55 PM ^
Me too.

and I didn't hear it

I didn't know about this, but then, I'm old and clueless and out of the loop. My teenagers always say I'm the last to know anything.
August 24th, 2016 at 3:34 PM ^
Well I can't hear... So I will be always the last one to find out......
August 24th, 2016 at 7:11 PM ^
Yup, first I've heard of it and I'm hear all the time!
August 24th, 2016 at 2:45 PM ^
He told this story earlier this summer as well

That interview was a repeat from earlier this summer. I assume they couldn't get Harbaugh out of the submarine for today's camp tour, so they used the segment to replay a previous interview with McElroy and Zarzour from maybe a month ago.

Odd that Shane wasn't doing something similar, if you're looking for playing time it seems as if you may want to be throwing with or without the guys you're competing against.

He told this story at Stanford several years ago about Andrew Luck and Brett Nottingham.

in 1968. Ok, slightly different story -- Jim had a secret Candyland session set up with the neighbor kids and John found out and crashed it. Beat him, too -- made that whole Super Bowl thing even harder to swallow.

Any observations from the practice from the 1pm show? Or is just interviews?

I'd just heard it, and hadn't seen another thread about it. Mods, please delete if you see fit. The other XM stuff has been great.
August 24th, 2016 at 2:54 PM ^
He told that story while in line at the grocery store.

I got a call yesterday and it was a wrong number. Turns out the caller was none other than Jim motherfucking Harbaugh and you know what he said? He told me the story about the QBs trying to get an upper hand on each other.
August 24th, 2016 at 3:05 PM ^
Well Harbaugh recorded it on my answering machine the day before yesterday. Call me, you'll hear it followed by a beep.

got together on the beach to develop the forward pass because Jim Harbaugh was not born yet...

How's that working out for you, Qmatic?

First I'd heard of it. Guess I better get out from under this rock.

On the Disney Channel in the 70's. Ultimately the Hardy Boys solved the mystery.
