One Frame At A Time: Penn State
I don't know what Jim Harbaugh's designated headset cord guy is paid, but it's definitely not enough.

HONORABLE MENTION
Chesson jet sweep ft. spectacular Smith cut block.
Taco sack.
Taco TFL.
Wormley one-on-one with TE goes as expected.
Because Flickr is sometimes the absolute worst, I'm posting this now instead of waiting approximately forever for Flickr to load the rest of the Honorable Mentions so I can get the direct links. (Have I mentioned Flickr's interface is awful? It is awful.) When Flickr feels like cooperating, you can view all the GIFs in this album by clicking the stills, hitting the down arrow in the lower right corner of the next page, and selecting "view all sizes."
10. Jekyll and Hydebaugh
Harbaugh's seamless transition from calmly signaling in the next play to yelling at AJ Williams—nice try, AJ—for committing a false start is both impressive and terrifying.
I wrestled over which Harbaugh GIF to put at #10 until I remembered I don't have to stay within my self-imposed constraints. So, here's the other:
Also 10. Holding ... Defense
Split-screen technology for the win.
9. Dig It
Another week, another perfectly thrown dig route that causes two defenders to run into each other.
8. Taco Sack
Willie Henry's contribution was probably unnecessary.
7. Impromptu Worm
Cornerback, safety, tiny linebacker, running back, slot receiver, wildcat quarterback, return specialist, sideline breakdancer.
6. Infinite Flow
I apologize if you're now in a trance and don't possess the ability to scroll through the rest of the post.
5. Finding A Balance
Jourdan Lewis hadn't returned a kickoff until three weeks ago.
Michigan has some athletes.
4. BUTTDOWN
Too bad he's way too short for the NFL.
< rel="lightbox"a href="https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5709/22930159960_6fdb27443b_o.gif">All-22 view reveals he ran a great route.
3. Citizen Dang Strikes Again
NFL catch, that. Other replay angle.
2. RAGE STRIPPING
I fully expected this to be #1. As a GIF, though, I like the next one a tiny bit better, mostly because of its obvious reusability.
FRAMES OF THE GAME: WHAT EVEN
Beautiful in its simplicity. Also totally on point for this game.

From before Houma came to Ann Arbor I've been a fan of his. Don't know why. Just was. And I'm so happy to see him getting playing time and exposure ... and touchdowns!!
Flow, baby ... flow.
November 24th, 2015 at 4:45 PM ^
I.....Can't....Stop.....Watching
November 24th, 2015 at 6:06 PM ^
Too bad "nobody" figured out how to use him until this year. Just sayin'
November 24th, 2015 at 11:00 PM ^

If only I could talk my (imaginary) girlfriend into stipping when angry...
November 24th, 2015 at 8:43 PM ^
Just give her imaginary clothes and do it yourself.
November 24th, 2015 at 4:47 PM ^
It is powerful

that I can watch a game now and pick out with staggering accuracy those things which will end up here.
November 24th, 2015 at 4:51 PM ^
Darboh's catch is a thing of beauty. Huge play in this game, and he's been making them the whole season.
November 24th, 2015 at 4:51 PM ^
Harbaugh is Stripping Mad!
November 24th, 2015 at 4:56 PM ^
If I had any sort of tech savvy, I would incorporate Bulls on Parade to his violent protest of that jacket.

I love how the WHAT EVEN gif makes it look like Harbaugh is casually giving all of us the middle finger.
November 24th, 2015 at 5:02 PM ^
Also, Harbaugh taking off is jacket is the UM Football equivalent of Rasheed Wallace taking off his headband. Shit just got real.

He is acrobatic even when he's picking himself up off the ground. I noticed that early on this year. It shows how athletic he is, because you just don't see that very often.
November 24th, 2015 at 5:27 PM ^
My wife commented that the hardest working man in college football is the guy responsible for Harbaugh's cords
November 24th, 2015 at 5:48 PM ^
My wife said the same!
Why can't he go cordless?
November 24th, 2015 at 6:51 PM ^
My friends at work have a running joke about that...they HAD that he has cords on his headset.
I always say "hey, at least he has one..." and then explain Hoke.
November 25th, 2015 at 12:43 PM ^
I can get wireless WiFi almost anything, Why do football coaches have a wired headset?
November 24th, 2015 at 5:30 PM ^
I don't see what all the fuss is about. Harbaugh was just doin' his best Cam Newton/Superman impersonation.
November 24th, 2015 at 5:50 PM ^
I have no idea why extreme anger causes Harbaugh to lose articles of clothing, but it is hilarious.
November 24th, 2015 at 6:00 PM ^
The best part of the entire .gif is at the end. Baxter is in the background looking scared to death that Harbaugh may very well kill a ref before the game is over.

Durkin is such a mini Harbaugh hahah

The worm is so beautifully executed.

Infinite Flow 2nd.

Houma continuous flow will haunt my dreams......
November 24th, 2015 at 8:51 PM ^
I'm with you, CoMisch. Those were my 1A and 1B, as well. Also, I love that the fact Jabrill would do that during a game doesn't surprise me.
November 24th, 2015 at 9:27 PM ^
The Harbaugh rage strip is great, but I can't stop watching Durkin storm back and forth behind him. It's like he wants to explode, but knows Harbaugh has it covered.
November 25th, 2015 at 1:00 AM ^
before I was looking to see how everyone voted I would have wrote her in
November 25th, 2015 at 7:22 AM ^
I went with infinite flow cuz I love the Tongan Terror.
November 25th, 2015 at 9:38 AM ^
I love the last one, but the rage stripping is excellent. It's so nice having a coach who is willing to get fired up like that.
November 25th, 2015 at 10:14 AM ^
I would have elevated the Taco For-A-Loss Gif from HM to place-winner for several reasons: First, because of the opportunity to write "Taco For-A-Loss". Second, I love the illustration of RPS here. The blitz causes Hack to give instead of pull on the read. Taco is left unblocked as the option man, and he opted to squish a running-back. Just like grape.
November 25th, 2015 at 10:22 AM ^
Baxter's expression during the strip is a beauty. He's a 180 from Harbaugh.
November 25th, 2015 at 11:57 AM ^
RAGE STRIP for the win!
