Forty years of my life has been dedicated to the players and the coaches here at Michigan. I don't really know how I'm going to deal with it. "I'm satisfied with myself and wanting to retire now. Dave Brandon helped me an awful lot. Dave was very good with me. I appreciate and thank him for what he's done for me here. "I'll get through it. I'll find something. I listened to [recently retired Detroit Tigers manager] Jim Leyland talk the other day, and it's really interesting when you get to a certain point in your life.

I'm certain I'll take him up on that." — John Borton 2013 Michigan Football Schedule Date Aug. 31 Sept. 7 Sept. 14 Sept. 21 Oct. 5 Oct. 12 Oct. 19 Nov. 2 Nov. 9 Nov. 16 Nov. 23 Nov. 30 Opponent Central Michigan Notre Dame Akron at Connecticut Minnesota at Penn State Indiana at Michigan State Nebraska at Northwestern at Iowa Ohio State Result/TimeTV W, 59-9 W, 41-30 W, 28-24 W, 24-21 W, 42-13 L, 43-40 (4OT) W, 63-47 3:30 p.m. ABC 3:30 p.m. ABC/ESPN TBA TBD TBA TBD TBA TBD
