Super Bowl 2013's Michigan Connections

It's already being called the Harbowl: a Super Bowl clash between San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh and Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh. The Harbaughs are the first pair of brothers to work as head coaches in the NFL, and they'll square off for Super Bowl XLVII on Feb. 3. 

This year, Michigan has a few connections to the big game, many of them with the 49ers.

San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh was a star quarterback at the University of Michigan in the 1980s. Another former Wolverine is Jonathan Goodwin, a center for the 49ers.

Michigan State also has representatives in Garrett Celek, a tight end for the 49ers, and Trenton Robinson, a safety for the 49ers.

In addition, San Francisco offensive tackle Joe Staley played football at Central Michigan.

For Baltimore, Ravens offensive line coach Andy Moeller is a Michigan graduate.

For the Super Bowl, kickoff is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on CBS. If you're looking for a place to watch the game in Royal Oak, check out our top picks for Super Bowl parties and hangouts around the area.
