"Asked to make an opening comment about the upcoming season, Harbaugh discussed the origins of New Year\'s Day and suggested that the yearly calendar should begin at the start of training camp."

What\'s weird is 99.9% of Stanford applicants would get it. But sports writers? Nope. It must be just wacky old Jim Harbaugh being a space cowboy.
