"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 just lost any respect I had for Harbaugh. I hope his team turns to crap like everything Obozo touches.

This Sun Devil making his life in the center of the SEC after taking my high school years in Cincy, will for the very first time cheer for Bama because of my wife, secondly for all things SEC, be wishful that the days of the future will be good to the Sun Devils, and to anybody who plays against Michigan.

With all due respect to all Freepers who hail from that school.

There is a local radio guy here in Ohio who would give the current time on the air and follow it with “and Michigan still sucks.”

Whenever I think football, I recall that Terrence Knighton and Michelle Obozo look surprisingly similar . . . from the rear.

His wonderful “39 wonderful minutes” must have been when Obama gave him a showing of his wife’s seat cover collection.

You’re most likely right. University of Michigan is either one or two most liberal university, with Berkeley the other one. My acquaintances with Michiganders are nearly all liberal, or at best faintly moderate.
