ANN ARBOR -- Jim Harbaugh, despite often making headlines for offbeat statements, is notoriously tight-lipped when it comes to game plans, injuries, or anything he feels might cost his Michigan football team a competitive advantage on the field.

"I think we could all use a break from the cliches that have been plowed so thoroughly on both sides," Harbaugh said.
Harbaugh has participated in the trash talking in the past. In December, in response to Michigan State Mark Dantonio's comments about Michigan, not Michigan State, being selected to the Outback Bowl, Harbaugh sent a tweet that read:
