Michigan players, coaches had a blast in Rome
Rome — Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh had gathered his team for a final word to signal the official conclusion of spring practices, but the Wolverines were in Stadio dei Marmi, not Michigan Stadium.
The Wolverines concluded their week in Rome that included sightseeing, team-bonding activities, being part of the general audience with the pope, and three practices, and the players said they were thrilled with all of it.
“This is the best week of practice a football team has ever had being here in the Eternal City,” Harbaugh told his team and the fans through his bull horn.
And then the team launched into singing “The Victors.”
Most of the players had never been overseas.
