ANN ARBOR -- The return of Michigan football came on a frigid Tuesday night in November, with more than 200 Wolverine fans linking arms and singing the alma mater.
Yes, ironically enough, the rebirth of Michigan football happened in a cemetery.
For the last several years, Michigan has had a football problem; there’s no doubt about that. But, more deeply, the very pillars upon which one of the greatest programs in the nation was built had become rotten, putrid with mismanagement and disconnect between those in charge and those who love the excellence Michigan can embody.
The rebirth came Tuesday night, with Jim Harbaugh joining those Wolverine fans in a walk through Forest Hill Cemetery to visit the graves of Bo Schembechler, Bob Ufer and Fielding Yost.
