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.)

Can someone remind me who this is?
I'm assuming an upperclassman, maybe Darboh or Chesson?

You are correct.
Jake Rudock was his roommate last year BTW.

It actually occurred in Westeros, where seven QB candidates fought bitterly through the long winter to win the coveted QB throne.

He told this story months ago, but someone told him he couldn't tell it until we beat MSU and OSU. Well it looks like he doesn't give a f@!$ because here he is telling it again.

Speight actually denied this on twitter though sooo.....
August 24th, 2016 at 4:36 PM ^
Uh...yeah. It was supposed to be a "secret" meeting so of course he's going to deny it.
August 24th, 2016 at 4:44 PM ^
haha oh my bad. That makes perfect sense.

Was listening to Don Brown's New England accent. "Taco Chaaaalton." Man, I love that guy.

He told that story back in high school. He was trying to steal John's position as varsity QB1.

The Harbugh interview was replayed from their interview with him during B1G media days. I believe the others (Butt, Darboh, Drevno, Fisch, Brown) were all new.

Now it's off to bed for you!

Angelique is reporting this as brand-new news, too.

Speight was caught redhanded gathering recon on the progresssion of JOK during a game of Counter Strike, because every thread needs a Counter Strike comment.
