If you want to be environmentally friendly these days, you have to recycle everything. Even jokes. Just ask Jim Harbaugh.

At Michigan’s outlandish recruiting event last winter, Harbaugh joked with Tom Brady that global warming has been a recruiting asset for the Wolverines.

"We got global warming now, Tom, so that's really helped recruiting." - @CoachJim4UM, to @Patriots QB Tom Brady https://t.co/YSJQWFhQMz

On Monday, during his weekly radio show, Harbaugh went back to well.

“Now we're the new Mediterranean: a lot of coastline and how about that out there today? 80 degrees out there, it is so beautiful here, it's awesome,” he said. “Global warming is good for Michigan, it's good for recruiting.”

Have your assistants write you some new material, Jim. I’ll do it if they’re busy.
