Many people west of east Lansing can't wait to see what happens in Ann Arbor this fall, but this was a little different than they expected.

Jim Harbaugh is officially the head coach at the University of Michigan, and things almost started off horribly. Is this what Alanis Morisette was singing about? Is it like rain on your wedding day?

Anyway, most likely Harbaugh was nervous as he was walking into a room of about 400 people, including current and former players, former coaches and numerous members of the media.

He almost tripped and fell.

Luckily, Harbaugh didn't fall all the way, and managed to wave to the audience indicating he was all right.

Harbaugh did mention the trip when he made it to the podium. "I don't know if anybody saw me trip on the way in," Harbaugh said, laughing. "A lesser athlete would've gone down."

Could you imagine what would have happened if he had fallen?
