From the Detroit Free Press: Welcome home, Harbaugh — but U-M isn't the same

Dear Jim:

Welcome home.

I say "home" not because you were born in Michigan (you weren't) and not because you might think of it that way. I say "home" because everyone else thinks of it that way — you, your alma mater, back together — so you might as well get used to it.

It's all good.
