INDIANAPOLIS — There was a time three years ago when getting here — to this game, this town — seemed out of reach.
Flash forward to Saturday night, inside the same building that Harbaugh has his name imprinted in, in the town he became known as “Captain Comeback,” and Michigan found itself celebrating its third straight Big Ten championship.
On Sunday, Harbaugh and his players will learn their fate in relation to this year’s playoff. Michigan is considered a sure lock to qualify, but will it earn the coveted No 1 seed? And perhaps more importantly, who will it be matched up against? While those questions linger overnight, Harbaugh made sure to let everyone know that this win — this championship — won’t go unnoticed.
The narrative has changed,” defensive back Mike Sainristil, voted game MVP, said. “For some odd reason, people look at Michigan and they’ll say we don’t play whoever, you know, we don’t deserve to be wherever we are. But as we say, the only people — the only things that matter — is what happens inside Schembechler Hall.”
The worm is pretty slippery. That thing can start wiggling back and forth and turning back on you. The hook got put in it.”
