Dantonio visits ESPN, Harbaugh questions ensue

For the record, it did take 2 minutes and 23 seconds before Michigan State football coach Mark Dantonio's visit to ESPN turned into a Jim Harbaugh discussion.

Dantonio is spending the day doing his own "car wash" series of interviews at ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Conn. -- the Big Ten decided not to participate with all of its coaches this year, so he made his own arrangements -- and his first stop was a live appearance on "SportsCenter."

Jaymee Sire asked Dantonio about program momentum coming off of consecutive top-five finishes -- "We need to reach a little bit higher as we move forward," he said, citing this season's motto -- and about the impact on recruiting.
