Jim Harbaugh’s Subconscious Demands Information NOW (tick tick tick)

↵
↵In retrospect, this is obvious. Of course Jim Harbaugh has dreams where he’s Jack Bauer: ↵↵⇥In my dreams last night, I had a Jack Bauer moment. I had to save the President, and I alone could recognize the assassin. In cold-blood… ↵⇥↵⇥I raced toward the assassin, armed only with my ballpoint pen. At that moment, I was awakened by a phone call from one of our favorite dads*.↵⇥

↵↵↵I’m surprised more coaches don’t tweet about their 24 fantasies, as the exclamation points correlation between an average coachtweet (“PRACTICE STARTED! LET’S GET TO IT!!!”) and a typical line of Jack Bauer dialog (“IF YOU DON’T TELL ME WHERE THE BOMB-FERRETT IS I’LL ELECTROCUTE YOUR FAMILY!!! NOW!!! DO IT NOW!!!”) is extremely high. ↵

↵

↵BONUS: Future dream-tweets that will be obvious in retrospect: ↵

↵

↵-- Pete Carroll as Buddha. He'll be awoken by a phone call from NCAA enforcement just before reaching total enlightenment.↵

↵

↵-- Jim Tressel as a rock. Awoken by nothing, dreams of nothing.↵

↵

↵-- Charlie Weis as Grimace. Awoken by AD firing him as he reaches for dream cheeseburgers on his bye week.↵

↵

↵-- Urban Meyer as Charlie Weis. Awoken by crushing realization he'll never have what Weis has just as dream reaches last year's Syracuse game.↵

↵

↵-- Bill Stewart as Barney Fife. Awoken by 5AM television alarm that automatically flips Andy Griffith Show on.↵

↵

↵-- Rich Rodriguez as Rich Rodriguez. Awoken by prospect of starting Nick Sheridan as dream reaches point where Nick Sheridan starts.↵

↵↵*(Our favorite dads? Paul Reiser? What? )↵
