Don't look now, but Michigan is No. 18 after dumping Maryland on the road. Jim Harbaugh has his team looking right, but Jim Harbaugh is still crazy. Never forget that.
From MGoBlue.com's Q&A with senior Michigan LB Desmond Morgan:
Q. What's your favorite moment with Coach Jim Harbaugh up to this point?
A. I'm a big fan of the speech he gives to us on the night before each game. It's before we watch the movie, and it's something philosophical in nature or something that's on his mind. I always get a kick out of them. The way he explains it or it comes out is always pretty comical. Sometimes it's hard to read where his head's at or where he's going with things. But the next morning, I always say, "There's a pretty good message in there."
One of my favorites was when he talked about whether the glass is half full or half empty. He said, "I don't know why people look at it like that. In my mind, if something's half full and you like what's in the glass, you should fill it all the way up. But if it's half empty and you don't like what's in it, you might as well throw it out and get some new stuff." (Laughter) I've never heard anyone put it like that before.
Of course Jim Harbaugh has some crazy-ass truther take regarding the glass-half-full-or-empty conundrum.
Michigan hosts No. 13 Northwestern on Saturday in a battle of Big Ten unbeatens.
