The day of the Michigan-Ohio State is always a special one in college football. But for the parents of Jim Harbaugh — Jack and Jackie — this year’s game will be a really special occasion.

During Jim Harbaugh’s radio show on Monday night, Jack Harbaugh served as a special guest. While on the show, Jack revealed that Nov. 25 — the day of “The Game” — will be the 56th wedding anniversary for he and wife Jackie.

As if Jim and the Wolverines needed more incentive to beat Ohio State this season.

“The Game” hasn’t gone the way of Michigan since 2011. Harbaugh is 0-2 in the season.

With Nov. 25 being such a special day in the Harbaugh family, it’ll be even sweeter if Michigan is able to get a win over the Buckeyes. Regardless of what Jack and Jackie Harbaugh’s plans are after the game, they’re probably hoping to be celebrating a win on that Saturday.
