ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Jim Harbaughs ways seem to be working with his target audience.Michigans coach has starred in a rap video, traveled the country for youth camps, taken his team to Florida for spring break, traded barbs on Twitter and even had sleepovers with recruits.Hes done all of that -- and much more -- entering his second season with the Wolverines.If generating buzz to attract recruits to help revive a storied program is Harbaughs aim, hes hitting the mark.Harbaugh is much more popular than Alabama coach Nick Saban among millennial males, according to a New York-based company that measures the awareness and appeal of personalities. And, at least some data shows Harbaugh is on the verge of having his celebrity transcend the sports world with those same young men between the ages of 18 and 34.Harbaugh is making a significantly stronger impact than Saban among younger males and that seems to be his objective, Henry Schafer, executive vice president of The Q Scores Company, said in a telephone interview Friday. And, Harbaugh is on the cusp of being an iconic figure among the general population in the same demographic.Nearly three-fourths of male sports fans between 18 and 34 are aware of Harbaugh. Harbaughs Q score is 25 among that group, meaning one out of four millennial males said he was a favorite of theirs in a survey done earlier this year. Saban is someone 68 percent of millennial males surveyed are familiar with and his Q score is 21 among them.The Q Scores Company conducted its latest survey in February, just after Harbaugh slept at the houses of recruits and prior to him becoming the first college football coach -- and perhaps the last -- to take his team way off campus for spring drills in Florida. In June, the envelope-pushing coach barnstormed around the country for satellite camps that the NCAA banned after the SEC and ACC pushed for a proposal to do so only to have that decision rescinded.I dont know about `Q Ratings, but I do know that it was priceless to coach and teach 15 to 20,000 youngsters at those camps, Harbaugh told The Associated Press, just before throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at a recent Chicago Cubs game. Obviously, we didnt do all those camps just for recruiting because all of those youngsters arent coming to Michigan. But they were all introduced to and learned more about the great game of football.Michigan was good, not great, in Harbaughs first season leading his alma mater.The Wolverines were 10-3, opening with a setback to Utah and losing later to Ohio State and Michigan State.They are positioned for a successful start to this season, hosting the first five games, all of which they will likely be favored to win. They appear to have tougher tests in the back half of the schedule, including road games against the Buckeyes and Spartans, rivals who have had their way with the maize and blue in recent years.If Harbaugh and the Wolverines dont win more games this season and lose to both rivals again, his efforts to create buzz will fall flat. And, hell still have five fewer national championships than Saban.Hype is just hype. It doesnt mean anything, Michigan receiver Jehu Chesson said. Youve got to beat your rivals, and we dont shy away from that.Between spring drills and training camp, Harbaugh appeared in a rap video with Bailey, whose song Whos Got It Better Than Us? plays off a catch phrase of Harbaughs father, Jack. The senior Harbaugh asked his kids, including Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh, that question when they were growing up and Nobody! was the expected response.Jack Harbaugh, who recently moved into a house 500 feet, from his sons house in Ann Arbor, said there is no disconnect between the perception and reality of Jim Harbaugh.Jim is who is he and he doesnt ever worry about the backlash, said Jack Harbaugh. He took his shirt off at a camp, and people are still talking about it a year later. They asked him to be in a rap video and he had some fun with it. Some liked it. Others didnt, and that doesnt bother him.His current players and the ones he is recruiting, those in the aforementioned millennial group, seem to be fans of Harbaughs unique style.Harbaughs boss, Warde Manuel, doesnt fit in the same demographic. However, Manuel also admires Harbaughs approach and is thankful his first season in charge of the athletic department will be Harbaughs second season on the sideline at the Big House.Having him back has meant a lot to the university, athletic department and Michigan football in ways that can be measured: wins, ticket sales and donations, Manuel said. And in many intangible ways, he has made people feel good around here and from afar about him and Michigan.---Follow AP College Football coverage at http://collegefootball.ap.org/ and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Larry Lage at http://www.twitter.com/larrylage and follow his work at http://bigstory.ap.org/content/larry-lage Cody Zeller Hornets Jersey .5 million, one-year contract on Friday.

Marvin Williams Hornets Jersey . Now, correct me if Im wrong but I saw one official distinctly pointing at the net indicating a good goal but after an inconclusive review they overturned the goal. Shouldnt the ruling on the ice (good goal) stand after an inconclusive review? Why was this overturned? James Veaudry Pembroke, ON -- Hey Kerry, Youll get a lot of these, but why was the Montreal goal against Nashville Saturday night overturned? Eller puts the puck on net and the on ice ruling from the ref behind the net is a Montreal goal.

Match factsThursday July 10 to Monday 14, 2008 Start time 11.00 (10.00GMT)Big PictureAfter 19 consecutive fixtures against the lowly New Zealanders, the tempo is about to be cranked up several notches. England and South Africa are among the most consistently thrilling opponents in the modern Test arena - two elite nations that have scrapped themselves to a standstill over the course of six series since South Africas readmission in 1994. Invariably, the jousts in that time have centred around the pace bowlers on each side - from Devon Malcolm in 1994 to Allan Donald in 1998, Makhaya Ntini in 2003 and Englands Ashes-winning quartet 18 months later. That pattern seems set to continue this summer, as Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel join Ntini in a formidable South African line-up that is already inviting lofty comparisons with the West Indian attacks of the 1980s.Form guideEngland WWDWWSouth Africa LWDWWWatch out for...Morne Morkel Steyn is South Africas current Boy Wonder, having harvested 78 wickets in a stellar 12 months, but the 66 Morkel has the capacity to be the discovery of the summer. He has played six Tests to date, but five of those have been on the pancake-flat strips of the subcontinent. Englands lush zippy tracks will be much more to his liking, as he seeks to emulate Steve Harmison in his pomp, and batter Englands bat-handles with vicious, leaping bounce off a good length.Kevin Pietersen This is the series that Pietersen was born to take part in. Hes had to wait 39 Tests and three years since making his Test debut in the 2005 Ashes, in which time he has played against every Test opponent except for Bangladesh. But all of South Africa will remember the manner in which he announced himself on the international stage, with a phenomenal run of three hundreds in six innings on Englands one-day tour of South Africa in 2004-05. His cocky, abrasive nature is sure to get under the skin of his former countrymen, not least Graeme Smith, whom Pietersen dismissed as a muppet in his autobiography. Expect fireworks.Team newsEngland have set a new world record by naming an unchanged side for the sixth match in succession, although the fa?ade of stability is all set to crumble with the impending return of Andrew Flintoff. He trained with the England squad on the eve of the match, and if he comes through Lancashires championship match at the Rose Bowl next week, he seems certain to be named in the squad for Headingley. Therefore, as Mickey Arthur has helpfully pointed out, there will be three or four players with an axe dangling over them at Lords, not least Ian Bell and Paul Collingwood, who mustered 77 runs between them against New Zealand.England 1 Alastair Cook, 2 Andrew Strauss, 3 Michael Vaughan (capt), 4 Kevin Pietersen, 5 Ian Bell, 6 Paul Collingwood, 7 Tim Ambrose (wk), 8 Stuart Broad, 9 Ryan Sidebottom, 10 Monty Panesar, 11 James AndersonSouth Africa themsselves are on a bit of a selection roll.dddddddddddd Although Andre Nel remains in the frame as a fourth out-and-out quick, they are likely to name an unchanged side for the fourth match in a row, having settled on a squad that has won six of their last seven Test series. The one that got away was no disgrace either - a 1-1 draw in India in April. The newly updated ICC rankings reflect their current hot streak, and they are now the undisputed second-best side in the world, clear of India in third place and England in fourth. If there is a fragility about their side, it is in the batting, where four of the top six have never yet played a Test in English conditions. A huge amount rests on the experience of Smith and Jacques Kallis.South Africa 1 Graeme Smith (capt), 2 Neil McKenzie, 3 Hashim Amla, 4 Jacques Kallis, 5 Ashwell Prince, 6 AB de Villiers, 7 Mark Boucher (wk), 8 Morne Morkel, 9 Paul Harris, 10 Dale Steyn, 11 Makhaya Ntini.Umpires: Billy Bowden and Daryl HarperPitch and conditionsIts going to be a damp week in St Johns Wood. Near-incessant rain has forced both teams into the indoor nets for the past three days, and the covers have been camped on the wicket. Thursday, however, does promise to be sunny in places, and the phenomenal drainage of the Lords outfield means that there may yet be more play than one could normally anticipate in such conditions. Nevertheless, if the match gets underway amid heavy cloud cover, it could well be a good time to bowl first.Stats and TriviaSouth Africa enjoy a phenomenal record at Lords since readmission. Theyve played there three times, and have won on each occasion - by 356 runs, ten wickets and an innings and 92 runs.England, meanwhile, have been confounded in their recent fixtures at Lords. Since beating Bangladesh by an innings in 2005, they have lost to Australia, and drawn each of their next five matches.Only three South Africans remain from the side that won their last match at Lords in 2003 - but two of them are Graeme Smith, who scored 259, and Makhaya Ntini, who took 10 for 220.Michael Vaughan has scored six centuries in 11 visits to Lords, and needs 28 more runs to pass 1000 Test runs at the venue.Vaughans maiden Test as England captain came in the corresponding fixture in 2003.QuotesAgainst New Zealand, [England] were very good and very steady, and did a good job as a unit, but what they did lack was the genuine pace of a Flintoff, Steve Harmison, or even a Simon Jones. South Africas coach, Mickey Arthur damns Englands attack with faint praise.I think the South Africa series is nearly up there with the Ashes. Its always a really big series, always hard-fought and really tough. Its what Test cricket is all about.Michael Vaughan relishes the challenge on the eve of the Test. ' ' '
