Jim Harbaugh successfully dodged the first Gatorade bath after Michigan won the national title

Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh wasn’t about to let a national title victory let him take a Gatorade bath.

As the seconds ticked down in the College Football Playoff national championship game, Michigan earned a colossal 34-13 victory over Washington to earn the school its first title in decades.

Well, the Wolverines tried to lure Harbaugh into a victory Gatorade bath, but he quickly dodged it and had a big smile on his face once he got away from the celebratory shower of Gatorade.

His agility to make that sudden of a move to avoid the Gatorade bath has to underscore how badly he does not want one of those.

Hey, when you win the national championship, you usually get a Gatorade bath. For Harbaugh, it has to feel like an even bigger win to avoid the bath and win the title at the same time.

Who has it drier than Harbaugh? Nobody.

Well, only for so long…
