Friday was the day Jim Harbaugh was set to speak at the Big Ten media day. He didn't disappoint.
The big talk from his news conference is not what he said, but what he brought with him.
The Big Ten meetings take place in Chicago, which is home of Mike Ditka's restaurant. Harbaugh took advantage of his time and went to visit his old NFL coach.
He decided to show off the jersey that Ditka gave him while out to dinner.

According to CBSSports.com:
I had a chance to spend the evening with Coach [Ditka] last night at his restaurant and Diana [Ditka] was there and Sarah [Harbaugh] was there. It was just really, really special to be with my coach. In fact, I picked up a Ditka jersey from the restaurant...No, he didn't autograph it, but I'll be proud to wear that."
One question everyone wanted to know is what will he call Ohio State? If you forgot, former Michigan head coach Brady Hoke would refer to them as "Ohio."

"Do you have a special adjective for this, your opponent your rival? Harbaugh was asked. Uh, no. Ohio State in particular?
"Just Ohio State," Harbaugh said and quickly changed the subject.
