"And I said earlier it was one of the great days in college football I can ever remember, just watching. You know, it was a perfect Ann Arbor day, the snow was falling down, the field was … Big Johnny, our old equipment coach, used to say, ‘Rain, blood (expletive deleted) or mud, boys, we’re getting out there, and we’re playing Michigan football.’ And that was a good old Michigan (expletive deleted)-kicking."

"It was a glorious weekend," Harbaugh said. "Bo Schembechler, my coach, used to say it’s everybody’s duty, for everybody in the state of Michigan, to beat Ohio State. And to have accomplished that, our players, you know, they were channeling old No. 10, Tom Brady, no question about it. It’s something that I know I’m going to remember until they throw dirt over top of me."

"I had a little future Wolverine, my son Jack, sitting on the bed with me as I was jumping around," he recalled. "We were wrestling on the bed. And I said, ‘That’s where you’re gonna be! You’re gonna be in The Big House someday, you’re gonna be the starting quarterback for Michigan!’ And my wife says, ‘Just let him be what he wants to be for God’s sakes!’ It was a great day for our family!
