We’re right in the middle of preseason camps around the country but that doesn’t mean there still isn’t time for Jim Harbaugh to take care of a little business for down the road.
In the latest series of YouTube videos posted to his new channel, the Michigan coach filmed a series of phone calls informing three of the Wolverines’ honorary captains for this year of the honor they were receiving. One of the first (somewhat awkward) calls went to former Heisman Trophy winner Charles Woodson, whom Harbaugh asked if he would serve as captain for the team’s biggest rival in Ohio State.
“You had me at hello,” Woodson said.
We’re still not sure what the deal is with Harbaugh’s Maytag repairman shirt that he is wearing but a nice honor for Woodson to fire up the team when the Buckeyes come to Ann Arbor this season. Other famous honorary captains announced include Fossil Group founder Tom Kartsotis for the Florida game and ESPN’s Adam Schefter for a home game against Cincinnati.
