Michigan fans haven’t forgotten about their win against Alabama in last year’s College Football Playoff.
In one of the most memorable postseason games ever witnessed, Michigan topped Nick Saban’s Crimson Tide 27-20 in overtime thanks to a stop on a 4th-and-goal attempt. Jim Harbaugh and the Wolverines went on to win the national championship while Saban elected to retire following 17 stellar seasons in Tuscaloosa.
The seven-time national champion head coach is now a regular host on ESPN’s “College GameDay,” which is airing live from Ann Arbor ahead of Michigan-Texas on Saturday, September 7.
Michigan fans took the opportunity to poke some fun at Saban with a hilarious sign ahead of kickoff.
“Michigan forced Saban to get a desk job,” the sign read.
What goes almost unnoticed is the “horns down” gesture by the fan holding the sign. The Big House will be rocking as No. 10 Michigan welcomes No. 3 Texas in the biggest matchup of Saturday’s slate in Week 2.
