Jim Harbaugh is commemorating Michigan's perfect season with some ink.

After leading Michigan to a 34-13 victory over Washington in the national championship game Monday, Harbaugh told reporters he intends to get a tattoo as part of a preseason bet he made with his players.

"I said I would get a tattoo. I have no ink on my body. No tattoos anywhere, but I did say that to our players," the Wolverines head coach said, according to Action Network's Brett McMurphy. "I said if we go 15-0, I'm getting a tattoo, it's 15-0.

"I'm going to put it on my shoulder. I don't know if it's my left or right yet. I'm a right-handed quarterback, I'll probably get it on my right. And then an M, too, an M that's maize and blue M. Also, that signifies a thousand in Roman numerals."

Harbaugh, who played at Michigan from 1982-86, has spent the last nine seasons coaching his alma mater, amassing an 89-25 record.
