ESPN's College GameDay visited Ann Arbor, Michigan, Saturday for the first time since September 2013, feeling the need to pay attention to the matchup between No. 7 Michigan State and No. 12 Michigan.
The Wolverines are relevant once again under the eye of Jim Harbaugh, sporting a terrific defense with intentions of stopping Spartan quarterback Connor Cook and bringing the Paul Bunyan Trophy back to Ann Arbor for the first time in three years. Here are the best signs from the morning.

We all hope for this. All of us. Also, shout out to the Ohio State hero with his eye on the prize:

You can't hit what you can't see. Float like a butterfly, sting like Harbaugh. pic.twitter.com/YT437mZLWM

Mike Hart's Michigan teams beat Michigan State each season he laced up his cleats for the Wolverines, but this is your daily reminder he went 0-4 against Ohio State. The Spartans have been winners over Michigan in six of the last seven matchups. We also can't forget this moment in stupidity:

And the best one of the day, by far:
