'Hou-Ma!' Harbaugh likes look, sound of UM 'coconut head'

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh was excited to see fullback Sione Houma at tailback last week, but he seemed more animated saying the senior's name.

Harbaugh, making his weekly appearance Thursday morning on the "Stoney and Bill Show" on 97.1 FM, didn't want to discuss officiating, said again he didn't know anything about tight end Jake Butt's deleted tweet after Michigan State's loss, but he did discuss Big Sean's visit with the team last weekend and Houma's performance against Rutgers.

Michigan used Houma at tailback against Rutgers, and he had six carries for 19 yards. He also had a 32-yard reception on a first-down play, and two players later the Wolverines scored their first touchdown in a 49-16 victory.
