Ann Arbor -- Michigan interim athletic director Jim Hackett has been wearing a blazing yellow watch on his left wrist since he hired Jim Harbaugh as head coach.
You can't miss the thing.
But Hackett hopes to separate from the watch as soon as possible.
"I wear this to remind him he hasn't won a game yet," Hackett said earlier this summer, smiling. "I'm taking it off when he wins his first game."
Unranked Michigan opens the season in a challenging setting at Utah with a primetime kickoff on Thursday. Maybe Hackett will have the opportunity to take off the watch after that game or maybe not, but he's not worried.
