Ann Arbor – About this time every year, ever since he was a kid, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh has had what he calls a "football dream."
The scenario is always the same – it is the final drive of a game, and Harbaugh, the former Michigan and NFL quarterback, is playing. He never sees how the game concludes, though, and always wakes before a resolution.
Amateur psychologists might have a field day with this, but for Harbaugh the dream it is part of his preseason routine, an internal signal that the season is about to start.
Harbaugh, fresh off a summer that included a headline-sparking satellite camp tour and a tweet-filled trip to France with his wife, is about to begin his first preseason camp as Michigan's head coach.
