Tweets Of The Day
Former Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh was inducted into the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame. The current Los Angeles Chargers head coach is preparing for his team’s Monday night game against the Arizona Cardinals, so he didn’t make the ceremony, but he did send in a video for it. Here’s some of what he said:
“Hello fellow Michiganders and Michigan Sports Hall of Fame,” Harbaugh began. “Wow, what a tremendous honor. I was really blown away. The word that came to my mind when I received this news was ‘gratitude.’ Just so thankful to be included in this class of 2024 hall of fame. It’s just, wow.
“Want to mention two legends that are here tonight, and that’s Jack and Jackie Harbaugh, also known as mom and dad. I want to thank you for everything. I would be nothing without them. This honor tonight is really more theirs than it is mine. As I said, gratitude.
“Michigan Sports Hall of Fame, just one question for you, who could possibly have it bette than us? Noooo-body! Thank you.”
Harbaugh, a former U-M quarterback as well, wasn’t the only individual with ties to Michigan. Former Wolverine wideout Braylon Edwards, linebacker Larry Foote and offensive lineman Jake Long were all also inducted.

Quote Of The Day
“He’s one of the toughest dudes on the team, first off. He’s vocal. He does everything you want. He’s one of those guys that gets the guys going. If you see the guys when they’re in the huddle, he’s a guy talking, and everybody listens. I think it’s a huge accomplishment. For me being the first year in the program and seeing a guy that transferred in become captain at the University of Michigan, it’s pretty special. And in order to do that, you have to be a special person. He’s like the spark plug in the engine, man. He gets us going, he does an unbelievable job of motivating guys, of talking to guys. All different ways — he’s like a coach out there. Some guys, he puts his arm around, talks to. Some guys, he’s in their face like a coach. He’s a special man.”
