Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, a Michigan Man through and through, attended the annual “cemetery walk” before this week’s Ohio State game. While the cemetery walk has been a longtime tradition, Harbaugh made a bit of history by joining in.

Nothing says ‘rivalry’ like walking around a cemetery in the dark with a hammer and some nuts.
The cemetery walk tradition has been ongoing for 20+ years. Jim Harbaugh is the first Michigan coach to attend it.
