According to Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, his team would have been watching 'American Sniper' no matter what Michigan's student life department had done this week.

MY INSERT - (Harbaugh's Tweet)

Michigan Football will watch "American Sniper"! Proud of Chris Kyle & Proud to be an American & if that offends anybody then so be it! — Coach Harbaugh (@CoachJim4UM) April 9, 2015

I heard Harbaugh speak at a dinner when he was still a QB. He’s the real deal.

Guy can flat-out coach. Not many ex-athletes can do that.

As a Buckeye fan, I’m glad the team up north got a fine coach. One sided rivalries aren’t as much fun.

It’s good to know he’s a guy I can respect too.

Hopefully this will be “The Ten-Year War - The Sequel”

Add me to the list of Jim Harbaugh fans..loved what he said on twitter, proud to be an American, proud of Chris Kyle..the left will go after him but I think Jim can take it, he doesn’t seem to be the type of person that backs down from a fight

Just one simple question. If the University of Michigan were showing An Inconvenient Truth or some retarded Michael Moore movie, and a small group of students stood up and said that they were offended, would the university pull that movie?

Of course not and you know it. And I know you know it - so am just stating the obvious to your somewhat rhetorical question.

I agree. It would be good for all of college football. Not that I’m in any hurry to see that team up north beat the Buckeyes.

Preachin’ to the choir, brownsfan. Looking forward to...something different. :)

Still one of my favorite stories from The Game:

In 1968, Woody Hayes’ team won a game against rival Michigan, 50–14. Late in that game, Ohio State held a commanding 44–14 advantage and scored one final touchdown. Rather than taking the more common extra point kick, Hayes instead opted for a two-point conversion (which was unsuccessful), leading many football fans to believe that Hayes was running up the score.

When asked later why he went for two points, Hayes said, “Because I couldn’t go for three!”

Here's 14 year-old Jim congratulating Rich Leach after a TD back in 1977.

His costars all found him an atrocity to work with.

This is apparently his third time in rehab, so...
