ROTOTD: Was Jim Harbaugh's motivational quote aimed at a certain rival?
Welcome back to our Dr. Saturday feature titled "Random offseason tweet of the day." With real games closer in the rear view mirror than they are in front of us, coaches and players will be tweeting about non-football-related things until the 2015 season begins. In this space, we'll try to find the funniest and goofiest tweets of the day. If you see something, don't hesitate to send it to us.
Jim Harbaugh likes to use Twitter for motivational quotes. Here's his Saturday installment.
Thought of the day - What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive! - Sir Walter Scott
— Coach Harbaugh (@CoachJim4UM) February 7, 2015
On Friday, the high school coach of four-star running back Mike Weber said Weber felt misled by Ohio State. Weber signed with Ohio State on Wednesday and OSU RB coach Stan Drayton was announced as the Chicago Bears RB coach on Thursday.
Weber was the No. 1 recruit in the class of 2015 in the state of Michigan and the Wolverines finished just behind Ohio State in the battle for his signature.
Are the tweet and the situation in Columbus connected? If they're not, it's sure an awfully fun coincidence.

According to his HS coach, both UCLA and Texas want Vernon Adams too
Does Oregon have serious FBS competition for the services of Eastern Washington quarterback Vernon Adams?
Adams, a star quarterback at the FCS level, is eligible to transfer and play immediately for a fifth season as a graduate transfer. The 2014 runners-up want his services if he decides to leave EWU, and according to his high school coach, so do UCLA and Texas.
"They both want him," Dean Herrington told OregonLive.com.
At Oregon, Adams would be battling to replace Heisman-winner Marcus Mariota. At UCLA, he'd take on backup Jerry Neuheisel for the right to succeed Brett Hundley. UCLA also has five-star recruit Josh Rosen, who was rated as the top pro-style QB in the class of 2015 by Rivals.
Texas would likely have the clearest road to the starting position. While 2014 starter Tyrone Swoopes returns for 2015, he wasn't incredibly successful. Adams, who has thrown for over 10,000 yards and 100 touchdowns in three seasons at EWU, would have a good chance of starting right away. Texas also signed a four-star QB, Kai Locksley, on Wednesday.
However, Herrington told OregonLive.com that he thinks Oregon is still the frontrunner if Adams decides to transfer.

Utah State's Chuckie Keeton granted extra year of eligibility by NCAA
Chuckie Keeton will be Utah State's quarterback in 2015.
Keeton was granted a fifth year of eligibility by the NCAA on Friday after knee injuries derailed his 2013 and 2014 seasons.
He tore his left ACL and MCL against BYU in October of 2013. Keeton missed the rest of the season but was able to return for the 2014 season, which was his senior year. However, he reinjured the knee early in the season against Wake Forest and was not cleared to return. He missed the rest of the season as Utah State cycled through quarterbacks.
Keeton burst onto the scene in 2012 as one of the better quarterbacks in the country. He was a first-team All-WAC selection that season when he threw for 3,373 yards, 27 touchdowns and nine interceptions. He also ran for 619 yards and eight touchdowns.
Before his injury in 2013, Keeton had thrown for 18 touchdowns against just two interceptions while completing nearly 70 percent of his passes.
Utah State finished 10-4 in 2014 and beat UTEP in the New Mexico Bowl.
