Rome — Perhaps few in Rome are familiar with Jim Harbaugh, but he made himself known as the Wolverines spread themselves around the Italian capital Monday.
“I love Meechigahn!” one Italian man yelled happily. Some self-proclaimed San Francisco 49ers fans said they loved him when he was an NFL coach. And one young BYU alum approached to ask for a selfie.
“Love how you’re spreading this thing around,” he told Harbaugh.
Harbaugh was “on” from the moment he arrived for Monday’s tour — which began at 9 a.m. on the Spanish Steps and ended at 6 p.
