CHICAGO -- Jim Harbaugh sat at a podium inside a hotel along the famed Michigan Avenue, wearing khakis and a polo shirt, with dozens of reporters looking on.
It was just like previous years -- the Michigan football coach was the main attraction for the day, even with a new coach making his debut, and peppered with questions about every which topic.
Harbaugh fielded inquiries about his summer, Shea Patterson's transfer, the impact he expects the true freshmen to make -- yet the questions always seemed to revert back to Michigan's on-the-field results.
They haven't been bad any stretch of the imagination (most head coaches at major college programs wouldn't mind a 28-11 record over three seasons), but expectations are a bit different at Michigan.
