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.

For the record, it was a first down and Harbaugh lost!
Go Buckeyes!
Jiminy Christmas! How many more people do I have to put my blocked list of people never to admire?
Coaching and a moral compass must be two different things.
All of them.
Dogs are OK...
Me, too. What is he thinking?
I absolutely cringe when I hear it at work.
“The *ask* is that we do such-and-such.”
When for hundreds of years there have probably been 10 other words that one could use to say that...
You mean he’s not going to bring in Kaepernick to spit on the flag too?
Obama’s not a full-black, he’s a half-black.
Will the 0bamas ask him to split all points with the other team so they always have equality in scores?
May Michigan suffer the fate of Notre Dame. Notre Dame has been an accursed institution ever since it bestowed on Obama an honorary degree and had the vile abortion loving lowlife speak on its campus.
hey harbaugh...your 39" don't mean shinola...
your half white half black moslem booster has destroyed nations, corrupted the military,brought on untold racial violence against whites and Christians, but hey, you go ahead and kneel down to this evil persona...
Like they needed more reasons?
It’s been on the OTC stock market for years.
$39 bid $40 ask....
***the man can flat-out coach***
You mean, the man can flat-out whine.
Harbaugh said he will ask the Obamas to serve as honorary captains for a Wolverines home game this season.
Gotta make sure to skip that one.
Agreed. May the 0’s curse follow the Wolverines all season long.
My Dad died in December, he and I both loved Football. My interest ,though,is waning, with both College and the Pros. I doubt this year I will watch little if any, and to think Harbaugh wants to do this then I can go without.
Ha, not really, but now there’s another reason.
He spent too much time at Stanford.
