Jim Harbaugh and Nick Saban took a picture with Mickey Mouse ahead of Rose Bowl
The festivities are well underway for Monday’s Rose Bowl game between Michigan and Alabama. On Wednesday, the two programs even made a visit to Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif. ahead of their big College Football Playoff game.
Players from each program got a chance to enjoy the theme park, while coaches Jim Harbaugh and Nick Saban got to participate in the parade.
At Disneyland today. Alabama and Michigan players throughout the park, pretty awesome.

What fans really loved though was a cropped photo of Saban and Harbaugh, who posed with three of their players alongside the iconic Disney character, Mickey Mouse.

People loved the contrast of Harbaugh with his arm around the beloved character, while Saban had his hands to himself.

You ask me, I see one coach who is happy to be there with Mickey, and another who is all about the business, getting ready to win a national championship.
What do you see?
