I don’t know if you’ve heard, but the Michigan football team is in Italy this week for a some spring practice and some site seeing. Just a causal week of workouts halfway across the globe. It’s a little controversial, seeing as most schools can’t afford to do this, but that’s just what Harbaugh does. Any way to get that upper hand in recruiting.
But the good part coming out of this is we get to see Jim Harbaugh in a foreign land. He barely can handle social norms in the US of A, so it’s a treat seeing him interact with the people in Italy.
Here’s some gems from his first day:
