What Jack Harbaugh Gave To Football Besides His Super Bowl Sons - WKDQ.com - Eric Comish - Thanks to Jack Harbaugh, I was able to enjoy countless Saturdays in the fall, walking from my dorm in Bowling Green, Kentucky to enjoy some tailgating, before watching an exciting game of football from the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers. You see, many credit Jack Harbaugh with saving the WKU football program. I guess the small, independent, division 1-AA team wasn’t doing enough to help the school, but boy did that change. - Because of Jack’s dedication to the football at WKU, the program grew. The teams got better. He even used help from his sons who were official/unofficial members of the coaching staff to recruit better players to Bowling Green. As ‘volunteer’ coaches, they used their name and clout to make players aware of little old Bowling Green, Kentucky and the Hilltoppers. By 2002, Jack Harbaugh had built a team good enough to win the National Championship. Just before my last semester at Western, I could boast my team as the 1-AA National Champs!
Paul Finebaum's Best Calls : The New Yorker - Reeves Weideman - In this week’s magazine, I wrote about Paul Finebaum, a sports talk-radio host in Birmingham whose show has become the voice of college football in Alabama, and throughout much of the South. But Finebaum is merely the lead tenor among the often cacophonous chorus made up of his regular callers, whom he admits are the show’s stars. Many of them are capable of clear, coherent arguments. Others, less so. “I’ve never heard, even in Pentecostal worship services, the sort of excess of spirit you hear on the Paul Finebaum show,” Wayne Flynt, an emeritus professor of history at Auburn University, and football season-ticket holder, told me. “For someone not versed in football, they would probably describe it as speaking in tongues.” Clay Travis, a radio host in Nashville who occasionally appears on the show to battle with Finebaum’s callers, put it another way: “It’s basically an entertaining bar conversation with people that you’d never want to drink a beer with.” - That may be so, but after several months of listening to the show, I find myself still coming back to the bar, hoping that my favorite regulars stop by. Below are clips—warning, foul language ahead—from the show’s most prominent, and notorious, callers:

Harbaugh Family Conference Call - 49ers.com - Jack and Jackie Harbaugh, father to and mother to 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh and Ravens coach John Harbaugh, along with younger sister Joani Crean, held a nationwide conference call on Thursday to discuss the family as Super Bowl XLVII approaches.
Harbaugh Family Boasts Proud Mom, Sister - Alex Espinoza - 49ers.com - “The rock of our family is Jackie, there’s no question about it,” Jack said of his long-time wife. “She did all the heavy lifting. In our 43-year coaching career, we moved 17 times. She was the one that sold house, bought the house, drove the kids to school, took the kids out of school. … She deserves all the credit.”
