ANN ARBOR, Mich. — On Thursday, when six-year-old Brady Carpenter was greeted with a hug after asking Jim Harbaugh how much milk he had to drink to grow tall enough to be a quarterback, it provided just the latest of many viral moments that have emanated from Michigan this offseason.
But for those who have been a fan of the summer—and spring—of Harbaugh since he returned to college football last winter, it was an image worth savoring. Because, with the Wolverines' first fall camp under their new head coach kicking off on Friday, the unprecedented preseason buzz for a team that's coming off of a losing season is about to come to an end.
