Monday’s Rose Bowl game was a big-time family affair for the Harbaugh family, especially after No. 1 Michigan topped No. 4 Alabama, 27-20, in overtime to advance to the national championship game next week against No. 2 Washington.
Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh’s parents were among those at the Pasadena, California, game, and they had the most adorable reaction to Michigan’s Rose Bowl victory that you could possibly imagine.
It’s one thing to see how eerily identical Jim Harbaugh is to his dad Jack, but it’s another to see the genuine joy the parents have for their son in such a huge moment for his career.
“Are you kidding me?! They won! What’s better than that?!”

It’s hard to hate a reaction like this, even if you’re an Alabama fan who is soaking in the disappointment of Monday’s loss.
With John Harbaugh’s Baltimore Ravens looking like clear Super Bowl contenders and Jim Harbaugh’s Michigan Wolverines contending for a national title, it’s quite a time of celebration for the Harbaugh family.
