Jim Harbaugh’s son in tears has been all of us at some point

We’ve all been there, little guy.

Wisconsin and Michigan is not exactly an offensive showcase by any measure if you’ve followed the teams involved this season. So you’ve gotta get points any way you can. Wisconsin did that with this punt return for a score early on.

And as many Michigan fans did, this young man — one of Jim Harbaugh’s sons — had some emotions. He certainly let them out.

He joins the annals of notable other sad sports kids because, damnit, sports make us feel stuff.

His father has also joins his father in sports emotions.

The first sports memory I have is weeping on my floor as an 8-year-old after my team lost. It’s the first time I realized I really care about this stuff.

The emotions may not get expressed in tears as we get older, but they’re still as raw as they were when we were adolescents. That’s the one thing that’s universal about the games. From players to coaches to fans, what happens on the field makes us feel things both happy and sad in a way that nothing else can.

It’s what keeps us coming back week after week. Cheer up, kid. There’ll be happier times for the maize and blue ahead.
