Harbaugh was asked about a current player, but his mind was working on something else.
"The Lonesome End! You ever heard of the Lonesome End?" he asked, smiling.
There were some blank looks in response until Harbaugh finally was asked about the Lonesome End.
"Played for Army, became famous in 1958," Harbaugh said, enthusiastically. "He would stand out wide. So that's out of football apparently."
There was another pause.
"Red Blaik was the (Army) coach," Harbaugh said, completing the quick football history lesson.
