No hard feelings between UT, mayor as Rocket Week kicks off

Consider it water under the Skyway Bridge.

Three months after the University of Toledo stirred up a real tempest in a Glass Bowl — all because Jim Harbaugh received a key to the city and its football coach did not — town and gown came together Friday to celebrate their hometown partnership.

City and university leaders joined outside One Government Center to ceremonially kick off Rocket Week leading into the Toledo football team’s opener against VMI next Saturday.

A UT flag was raised, Rocky the Rocket danced, and Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz pledged that was but the start of it.
