Yearly since 1997, the Tues. before the large game, MI college students stroll by the graves of fantastic figures in Wolverines historical past at Forest Hill Cemetary. Harbaugh, of course, played at MI prior to embarking on a 14-year career and is now back as the head coach of the football team. “That is one of the best coaching jobs I have seen, and that is Mark Dantonio, [and] one of the worst ones I’ve seen out of Urban Meyer”, Bacon says.

Jim Harbaugh wandered through a graveyard on the week his Wolverines take on Ohio State and suddenly a new MI tradition was born.
“Getting to play for coach Schembechler, what I can tell you is this, everything I base my entire professional life on and my personal life was learned here at the University of Michigan”, Harbaugh said (via the Detroit News). “It’s rooted at the University of MI”. We win as a team.
Jack Harbaugh, who was an assistant to Schembechler, also addressed the crowd. “When it came to honor, integrity, doing things at the highest level, Bo Schembechler set the standard”. It was nearly a decade ago, nine years ago, that I was standing there at coach’s funeral, and you realize how much one man can, outside of my family, outside of my father, (affect you, and) that would be my coach, who really brought the intensity.
