I grew up playing football in my backyard while pretending to be Harbaugh, then Kolesar, then Jaime Morris-- sometimes all in the same play. Lol! Words can't express how happy I am that Harbaugh is our coach. I wasn't sure that this would ever happen, but his love for Michigan brought him back. This is a man who gets it. Now, let's smash some buckeyes on the field this Saturday! GO BLUE!!

Wins... losses... they are important. That's why the team plays the games and we cheer with all our might. But, it's this that makes us Michigan and this is why the college game is more emotionally satifsfying than the pro game..

A coach coming out on a Tuesday evening in the middle of preparing for his first OSU game as a coach. A coach coming out with his Dad and speaking of his love for Bo Schembechler. Paying homage to these great michigan men.

A 5th year senior quarterback, in his first year at Michigan coming out after hearing about this, to join the walk, and then being privately walked through to understand the meaning.

In 25 years we will look back at this time and remember that we were fans, students and/or alumni, when Jim Harbaugh came back to Michigan and continued the tradition of Bo Schembechler. 

I will be able to look back as a man of nearly 70, (hopefully) and be able to say I witnessed the greatness of Bo as a young man and as a student and then the greatness of Harbaugh as alumnus and I consider myself lucky to be able to sit back and enjoy this era of Michigan football. 

I can't predict the future but I know that for the next however many years my pride in being a Michigan fan will never wane. 

Go blue and attack the day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind!

I'm in serious marital trouble.  I saw the photos on my phone last night and was like "Huh, so Harbaugh showed up!"  And my husband was all, "showed up for what?"  I explained the whole business to him and he asked why I didn't tell him about the walk ahead of time so we could go.

 

I had no answer.
