Despite Jim Harbaugh’s High Praise, Michigan Prodigy Quotes Kobe Bryant’s Famous Message to Stay Focused

The moment when Harbaugh yelled “bet” at the crowd after becoming the Big Ten Champion of the Year was one of the best moments of a clean sweep against Iowa. The instance when Petitti was going to give Harbaugh the trophy, after being suspended for three games, was even more anticipated than the whole game. However, as per Harbaugh’s request, Zak Zinter received the trophy.

Well, after missing the conference and post-game celebrations of the past couple of games, Harbaugh and Co. were not going to take this one for granted. Hence, his team had a perfect comeback planned for the press conference, one that Harbaugh appeared to be proud of.

Blake Corum believes in the legacy Kobe Bryant left

Well, the sign-stealing fiasco surely tainted Michigan’s reputation. Hence, their primary motive all along was to redeem it. But, along with this, they already had their minds set on the National championship this year. Michigan has won the Big Ten Championship for the past 2 years, only to lose in the playoffs. However, as this season is one-of-its-kind for the team, they have enough reasons to win the championship this year.

In their post-game conference, the Wolverines made sure to make it clear to the viewers. However, instead of saying it straight away, Blake Corum used a quote from Kobe Bryant. “We’ve changed the narrative — how people look at Michigan,” asserted Blake. “Like Kobe Bryant said: job’s not finished.”

Moreover, the head too coach had a lot of inspiration to share, after accomplishing the title. “It’s what we hoped for, what we worked so hard for, and then it happened,” proudly acclaimed Harbaugh. Along with this, he also had words of praise for Blake. As per Harbaugh, “There’s nothing I think Blake (Corum) can’t do.” 

But the season this time is much more than the Big Ten Championship, and they have made their intentions pretty clear about it. Not just with their post-game conference speech, but also with their unstoppable game record all along. For the second time after the previous season, the Wolverines made it to 13-0 this season. “Most people would have folded under the type of circumstances we were under,” believed freshman Semaj Morgan.
