Jim Harbaugh is not ready to say Michigan’s preparation for the Rose Bowl is complete. In fact, the head coach said Sunday his team is never satisfied with its prep, even with the 24-hour mark to kickoff quickly approaching.

As for the plans of the Wolverines, Harbaugh said the team will still be “polishing the diamond” throughout Sunday. The team has plans to spend the evening together, including a team meeting, and then try to get the blood pumping before a good night of sleep.

“Today we’re — the hay is never in the barn for us. We never think of it that way,” said Harbaugh. “Things to clean up, polishing the diamond as we like to say, make the most of this day.

“Tonight we’ll get together, watch a movie, talk to the team, different things like that. Kind of get the red blood pumping a little bit so you can visualize it. Then go to sleep and see how good of a night’s sleep you can get.

“Sometimes you do; sometimes you don’t. We really stressed a good night’s sleep last night. Kind of feel like that’s the sleep you play on. Got a darned good one last night. Anything tonight will just be a bonus.”

As for game day, Harbaugh admitted everyone is different in their approach but everyone has their own way to gear up for kickoff. Michigan will keep its routines the same as any other game day come Monday leading up to the showdown with Alabama.

“Wake up tomorrow, and everybody has their own approach to game day. JJ has one. Other guys have a different approach,” Harbaugh explained.

“Just going to have to go through our routine and then get to the stadium, and then it’s like new. You’re in a new setting, and it takes five or ten minutes to adjust. But at some point you’ve got to lock in and you’ve got to get the rhythm. Rhythm, get the rhythm, get the freaking rhythm, and then toe meets leather and it’s on.”
