The 2019 Big Ten Media Days are a two-day event being held on Thursday and Friday this week in Chicago and on Day two, Michigan was one of seven teams featured. The entire event is being televised on BTN.
Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh was at the podium where he made his opening statement and then proceeded by taking questions from the media. One of the last few questions asked to Harbaugh was as to whether or not he liked being the favorite of the conference or if he would rather be right on the outside looking in.
Harbaugh’s response:
“That’s where I would pick us.”
Harbaugh’s belief on his team being the preseason favorite to win the Big Ten coincides with many people. Call it cocky or call it truthful, Harbaugh said what he believed.
He continued to say that he really likes where his team and program is at. Confidence is not something that Harbaugh lacks.
