CHICAGO — As if there were any doubt he felt otherwise, Jim Harbaugh let it be known on Friday afternoon that he's ready for football season to begin.
"We feel like bulls waiting for a bullfight," the new Michigan coach said as he sat on stage at the Big Ten Kickoff Luncheon. "You're clawing. Snot bubbles are coming out. We're ready to get started."
Harbaugh can go ahead and wipe his nose, though, because football season might as well officially be underway with Big Ten media days in Chicago drawing to a close. And to the surprise of no one, it was Harbaugh who stole the show in the Windy City, his 15-minute opening press conference littered with stories of yesteryear and an enthusiasm previously unknown to mankind.
