Armour: Harbaugh best thing going for Big Ten

CHICAGO — Jim Harbaugh knows his audience.

Back in Chicago for his first appearance at Big Ten Media Days as the Michigan coach, the former Bears quarterback did what you do in Chicago: He pulled out a Ditka jersey.

Full size, not the Mini Ditka version.

“(I’ll) be proud to wear that,” Harbaugh said, holding it up in the signature scene of the two-day gathering.

The only way he could have played it better is if he’d weighed in on that age-old conundrum, Coach Ditka or a hurricane.

Before leaving Chicago, here’s hoping the other Big Ten schools pitched a few bucks Michigan’s way to help cover Harbaugh’s hefty salary.
