589 days ago

Just in case you are wondering what got into Paul Finebaum’s kind even he praised Jim Harbaugh after Michigan Rose Bowl win.

Finebaum lavished Harbaugh with praise the day after the game, on Get Up but this week retracted his words.

“I did this mea culpa the day after the Rose Bowl where I said I’ve never made a bigger mistake in my life,” Finebaum told The Tim May Podcast.

“I’ll now add to that, just for clarification, I said that on national television… I was sleep-deprived.”

Finebaum has been critical of Harbaugh and Michigan all season amidst the sign stealing saga.

“I got up early on Sunday morning in Pasadena, I went to the game, flew back overnight, didn’t sleep, took a shower, and did that show,” Finebaum said. “So whatever I said about Jim Harbaugh, I have no recollection of whatsoever.”

Finebaum claims he was in shock after the Wolverines beat the Buckeyes, saying of Harbaugh at the time “I don’t know if I’ve ever been more wrong about anything in my entire life.”

He now admits he was wrong, very wrong.
