Seidel: Jim Harbaugh sings opera, preps for gladiator training in Rome

ROME – Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh stood on the field, after his team’s second practice in Italy, and broke into song, in full operatic gusto: “Figaro! Figaro! Figaro!”

He stopped.

“Every day,” Harbaugh said. “I am starting my mornings off that way.”

Then, he started it again, singing loudly, full of passion: “Figaro! Figaro! Figaro!”

“I am now starting my mornings that way,” Harbaugh said. “I started my morning off, this morning. I’m going to start my mornings that way.”

The Wolverines attended an unbelievably cool opera performance Thursday night at a church in Rome, which Harbaugh recorded on his cell phone.
