Michigan Wolverines football coach Jim Harbaugh spent some time with former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama earlier this week. He hopes to be getting more face time with them this fall.
Harbaugh said he will ask the Obamas to serve as honorary captains for a Wolverines home game this season.
"We're making those asks. Official asks," Harbaugh told reporters Saturday. "In the process of making an official ask. There's been, 'Hey, we'd like you to do it,' and now we're doing official asks."
Harbaugh said he spent "39 wonderful minutes" with the former president Wednesday during a visit to Washington, D.C.

I was under the impression that Harbaugh is right of center.
This will make a few Buckeye fans loathe Harbaugh even more.
Maybe Michelle can reprise her halfback role.
....attention whore
Guess he relates to frauds and enemy islamists.
Isn’t football above politics?
Will the Husseins be paid by The Wolverines?
Anyone care to enlighten me what connection the 0’s have to Michigan?
Wow. He is as dumb as husband says. Maybe Obama can help him make it to the playoff. Maybe. When I think great football, I always think Barack Obama.
Roll Tide. Please keep politics out of college football.
When did "ssk" become a noun?
I despise development-ese.
As long as Harbaugh keeps winning, I doubt Wolverines fans of any political persuasion care who he asks to serve as honorary captains. I wish he was still coaching the 49ers - the man can flat-out coach.
Him and Mike Tomlin (Steelers) are Obama butt kissers. Tomlin’s wife was a bundler for Obama and Clinton. Once I heard that I stopped having any respect for the coach, not to mention he can’t beat the NE Patriots 10-2 against Brady.
My guess is that the faculty elites or the alumni are pushing Harbaugh to do this. No way Harbaugh just up and decides to do this on his own.
While he’s at it, he should apologize for being white and previleged and offer reparations. (He’ll use this as a recruiting tool)
Another article on the topic says none.
Football. Thanks. I was wondering what we were talking about.
Halfback? That’s a FULLback.
From another article on this: “Harbaugh has long been a public admirer of Barack Obama. He attended the then-president’s State of the Union speech in January 2016 and complimented Obama’s performance.”
Naw. We had the first pick and of course that was ..well anybody else.
