Two days before Michigan's biggest game of the season to this point and the resumption of the Wolverines' biggest rivalry, John Beilein took a trip down memory lane.

Beilein was asked about past rivalries he had been part of as a head coach. So he listed them.

At Canisius, it was Niagara and St. Bonaventure. At Richmond, it was VCU. At West Virginia, it was Pittsburgh in the Backyard Brawl.

All rivalries that Beilein still remembers fondly.
