The Michigan Wolverines won the NCAA Championship in blowout fashion. They had already established a sizable lead during the final minutes of the game and were ready to celebrate. The players had their eyes set on their HC Jim Harbaugh for the customary Gatorade shower after the win. However, the former San Francisco 49ers HC anticipated the event and dodged it expertly.

Unfortunately, Harbaugh was unable to avoid another opportunity when he and the Michigan players took the pitch following the game. Even decades after his playing career ended, Harbaugh still seems to be elusive, as evidenced by his first escape.

I just want to enjoy this. I hope you give me that. Can a guy have that? Does it always have to be what’s next, what’s the future?
