The University of Colorado is set to take on No. 4 Michigan this weekend, and, to prepare, they set up a fake Colorado depth chart that listed 5-foot-2, 165 pound Elmer Fudd as quarterback, Peter and Stewie Griffin as the safeties and James Bond as the defensive tackle.
The fake depth chart is a jab at Michigan, who does not publish an official depth chart.
“Since this week’s opponent, Michigan, does not issue a depth chart, our coaches felt we should refrain from making one public this week as well,” Colorado’s sports information director David Plati wrote. “So in the interim, we had a little fun.”
Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh was asked about the fake depth chart on Detroit’s 97.1 on Thursday, and he said Michigan is more focused on winning a football game than being funny.
“In our preparation for Colorado, we’ve had a hard time working humor into the preparations,” Harbaugh said. “I was trying to imagine how many people sat around and how many hours they worked on that.”
When you’re Jim Harbaugh, the head coach of the No. 4 team in the country and the school with 915 wins, the most of any school in the NCAA, no time can be wasted on creating a silly depth chart.
After all, efficiency is everything to Harbaugh. This is the same guy who wears the same type of clothing every day to save time to focus on football.
