... and touches on:
• 1986, and a reminder not to look ahead: "You really know how to hurt a guy, don't you? It's one thing you want to remember, that should be brought out to these kids. We're on a journey. Our destinations are out there in sight for us. We know what we want. We know where we want to try to end up.
"But there are some obstacles in our path. The very first obstacle we're going to have to overcome is a group of pesky Hoosiers that are going to come in here and play hard and free-wheeling. They've got enough athletes that they could come in here and do the same thing.
"You mentioned Richard Foggie. They've got a quarterback down there [Peyton Ramsey], and I have to brag about this kid a little bit, because he comes from my area … this kid is the son of a high school coach. He has football in his blood, and he has the ability to make some plays.
"It seems like it might be the same kind of situation as we met with Foggie. We've got to make sure we keep him under control, which we didn't do a very good job of. If we do that, I think we can take care of these Hoosiers."
• Senior Day at Michigan Stadium: "It's an emotional time. Football is such a big part of these kids' lives. And we coaches, who have had those kids for four or five years, you get awfully close to them. You know that's the last time they're going to run out on that field to represent the Maize and Blue. It gets a little bit emotional.
"Even in the locker room, it's just a little bit different. They get a look in their eye. They don't usually cry, but if you poke them a little bit, they might. They are very emotional, and it's a big thing in their life. They've put an awful lot of time and effort into being able to run out on that field and be a part of a great football team.
"Fortunately, this year, they have been able to do all of those things. They've played together, they've worked hard, and now they've got a chance to become champions. This is going to be the last time in The Big House for them. I just know that it is an emotional time, and it certainly brings you closer together, and shows you how important football can be in your life, and how much you really love the game."
• How this game should go: "If you notice, you have quite a few factors on that Indiana team. You have Mike DeBord, who coached at Michigan, Mike Hart, who played here, and Nick Sheridan — all have Michigan ties. As they should, they're all going to try to play well against their old alma mater or guys who have coached here.
"It's going to be a really good football game for us. We just have to play up to our capabilities and try to come out of there with a good victory against the Hoosiers."
