Spring Practice Video Reports Day 1 & 2
Day 1 video from Bradenton Herald, WXYZ, Rivals and Scout
Day 2 practice video and interviews from Don Brown and Jake Butt
Day 2 video includes the ESPN Sports Center segment featuring the Yellow Bastard. How noble of the ESPN to have an SEC blowhard talking about Michigan football and not someone a little more...qualified.

Now you listen. I don't give a damn which way you go, just don't follow me. You got that?
Hey, Copeland. Be good.
We have an elite football coach coaching an elite college football program. Finally we "haz nice things" and some people say on this board.
Harbaugh is making us better by the second, we're relevant every single day in college football and we're dominanting the offseason. The latter two don't matter without wins, but those have already come and it's clear many more are on the way.
He's a perfect fit for Michigan. We have our Saban, Meyer, Coach K, Roy Williams, etc.
After same AWFUL years...it feels good to be the leader and the best again.
This spring practice idea is awesome, from a team building standpoint, from a get away from home and improve your team standpoint, from a weather standpoint, from a recruiting standpoint, from an exposure standpoint, from a dominanting ESPN standpoint. From every angle it's awesome and it's what Michigan should be. First. The leaders. The best.
I don't agree with everything he does. I'm not someone who blindly follows anyone unless she birthed me. But I love Jim Harbaugh.
So you're saying that over a four-year span, Michigan under Harbaugh is going to do better than 43-0-1, will outscore our opponents more than 2326 to 40, will amass more than 38 shutouts, and will win more than four consecutive national championships.
"After same AWFUL years...it feels good to be the leader and the best again."
I agree that everything feels pretty good now, and I'm definitely drinking the Kool-Aid, but I'd suggest that you may be underestimating Harbaugh, unless you're _really_ old and you can remember the 1948 team.
If he ends up being our Saban, he'll have exceeded the accomplishments of every Michigan coach in the modern era. None of them were the leader/best (well, except for January 1998) unless you confine your scope to the Big Ten / Upper Midwest. They (RichRod and Brady excepted) were in the next tier (very good).
Aside: IMO Roy Williams doesn't belong in that list. With an abundance of talent at Kansas (where he ruled a crappy conference and got automatic #1 seeds every year) and North Carolina, the guy has underachieved more than he has overachieved (or "achieved").
Agreed. I was going to comment on the Roy Williams thing but you beat me to it.
I hope Jim doesn't get busted for a gambling addiction. Allegedly.

What's going on with our maize in those videos? Looks awful. Nike can't get here soon enough.
Will be thrilled when we return to the maize of the Woodson-Brady-Hart years.

Big Jon's back...
Geeze...if Jim Harbaugh ever retires from coaching (he wont) he could get a job anywhere in the world as a CMO for just about anybody...he is a flat out marketing genius machine unparalled by any other. PT Barnum with substance.
Leaders like Harbaugh LEAD...making all others follow, complain, whine/attack or rebel. What others cannot do, while whining, complaining, attacking or rebelling, is also be seen as leaders. Dude is a genius.

I love his comment about how Alabama is going to be honored at the White House for the 4th time in 7 years . . . and all anyone is talking about is Harbaugh.
He compares Harbaugh to Trump in the sense that he sucks all the attention oxygen out of the room while everybody else has trouble even getting noticed.
Scout's "studio" is hilarious. It looks like the simulated studio from Madden '94 on SNES.
I think Finebaum has been pretty solid with his coverage of coach Harbaugh and Michigan. Kinda siding with Michigan in that segment.
But please don't call him the Donald Trump of college football. No politics, I know, but for the love of God, stop it.
Thing is...from a Southerner, I think that's an unfettered compliment. Not positive on that, but that's my translation.

It's clear the SEC/ACC ADs worked their majic to make sure the NCAA is on top of Michigan looking for any "violations" because "we must protect the kids".
I truly believe the SEC/ACC like that Harbaugh is doing this because they can talk about Michigan instead of OleMiss, Tennessee, FSU, etc. Funny how we haven't heard ANYTHING about these teams in forever
I think Finebaum just wants this to go away. He can't beleive all the attention that this is getting and he's smart enough to realize that all the SEC fuss is just creating more attention.
He would like to just ignore it, but his idiot fanbase won't let him.
He's still an SEC homer, and he hates that we're getting in the way.

MICHIGAN -VS- EVERYBODY
That ESPN piece was gold. Great advertising for Jim Harbaugh and his team. So far this spring practice trip to Florida couldn't have gone any better.
Trevor Matich was on Nashville radio yesterday saying how great of an idea it is and how much he loves how much it's bugging the SEC. He was pretty much giggling with glee about it.
