Here's Jim Harbaugh Destroying a Pizza at the Michigan-Michigan State Game

Michigan took the floor at the Crisler Center on Tuesday night looking to split its regular-season home-and-away slate with Michigan State.

This didn’t happen. The Wolverines, injury ridden and undermanned, lost 80-67, largely due to Travis Trice’s efficiency and the fact that we can’t find the jetpack hidden on Branden Dawson.

Michigan basketball fans would’ve liked a better showing, but they can at least take solace in the real-time moment of Zen that was Jim Harbaugh eating a slice of pizza on national television. 

Cameras swung in on Michigan’s newly hired head football coach during a break in the first-half action. Harbaugh, joined by his daughter, was just one of the many UM and MSU figures of present and past in attendance at the game. He was, however, the only one caught massacring ‘za on camera.

Sitting down the floor from Michigan head basketball coach John Beilein, Harbaugh dined in old-school fashion, opting for the box-on-the-knees approach.

The pizza appeared fairly hot.

Harbaugh’s daughter, a born warrior, did not look inclined to share with Beilein. 

Harbaugh eventually noticed he was being watched and toasted the crowd with his slice.

SB Nation noted that the sight of Harbaugh shoveling cheese and bread into his mouth is a much happier vista than Urban Meyer shoveling cheese and bread into his mouth.

Now, there’s no wrong way to eat a pie (unless you’re a folder who should be locked up for your own safety), but it’s a lot better consumed with a smile.

Eat pizza like nobody is watching. Eat like Jim Harbaugh.
