Michigan’s summertime stats were as impressive as any program's in college football.

In the months of June and July, head coach Jim Harbaugh picked up 28,217 retweets and more than 80,000 likes on Twitter. The school’s retailer sold its allotment of 500 new Jordan brand sneakers in less than four minutes last week. The program visited more than three dozen satellite camps, produced two rap videos, two ceremonial first pitches and one city ordinance that literally stopped traffic.

The last on the list, a midnight block party on Ann Arbor’s State Street to ring in a new contract with Nike, served as a fitting finale to the Wolverines’ buzzworthy offseason.
