Some Michigan players had the flu last week, but Jim Harbaugh has a unique way to prevent it

It didn’t seem to affect them on the field Saturday, but Jim Harbaugh said Monday at his weekly press conference that a few Michigan players had the flu last week.

So he needs them to do three things — drink more whole milk, do more pushups and use more hand sanitizer.

Harbaugh on Jake Butt and Mason Cole being sick last week, and a potential remedy: "More pushups. More whole milk."

Harbaugh: More hand sanitizer, more pushups and whole milk this week.

Harbaugh is a big fan of milk, as you may know. He was pictured drinking it with his steak dinner at Ruth’s Chris in Ann Arbor, which was giving patrons 50 percent off after the Wolverines blew out Rutgers.

Maybe Harbaugh is onto something here. And as long as Michigan keeps winning, he can use any weird remedy he wants to prevent sickness in the locker room.
