This Jim Harbaugh profile from Bleacher Report is full of wonderful Stanford anecdotes. Well worth a read.
The fun Stanford pieces are what we're concerned about. What are some of the craziest stories?
- There's the time before the Orange Bowl that Frank Beamer corrected Jim that he was playing Virginia Tech instead of Georgia Tech (when Jim had been calling Frank's school Georgia Tech a half dozen times), and Harbaugh totally flipping the script and saying that he'd tell his players that Beamer called Stanford "Samford."

- He drank a glass of whole milk at meetings. Claims it gave him strength. He also bickered with the program on recruiting admissions for Stanford--the Cardinal would eventually lower them.
- He would stop to watch traffic cops on their way to work. When a light was out he'd watch them for half an hour and admire their excellent at executing their traffic responsibilities.
UPDATE: there is a far better anecdote that can never be beaten on Harbaugh @drewmagary pic.twitter.com/VYbxrnDItA

It's a really informative piece on Harbaugh. Basically, that he hasn't changed at all in how weird he is.
