Michigan Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh bumped into a familiar face on the recruiting trail in Iowa Wednesday evening.

This meeting was significantly less painful for Harbaugh than the first.

Harbaugh tweeted a photo Wednesday of himself and Dan McGivern, the man who he says was driving a mail truck that broke Harbaugh's leg nearly 50 years ago.

The story, as Harbaugh tells it, starts the week his family moved to Iowa City in 1971 where his father, Jack, had accepted an assistant coaching position with the Iowa Hawkeyes.
