Jim Harbaugh is Prepping for Michigan State by Remembering Lessons from "The Lion King"
By Kyle Koster
Michigan is currently a touchdown favorite over Michigan State. That’s significant deviation from recent history which has seen the Spartans take six of the last seven meetings against the Wolverines. Jim Harbaugh was asked about the physical dominance MSU has exerted against their rivals. The question provided him the perfect opportunity to quote The Lion King.
" Why did @CoachJim4UM reference “The Lion King” in his press conference? Hint: It has to do with rival @MSU_Football. http://t.co/vO3iQk4Ub4 — Big Ten Network (@BigTenNetwork) October 12, 2015 "
Ah, yes. The sage wisdom of Rafiki. Timeless.
Quoting the cartoon mandrill is a bit of a tradition for Michigan coaches. Rich Rodriguez also made reference to his teachings back in 2007 at his introductory press conference.
