While you were sleeping Wednesday morning, the Michigan football team visited the Vatican and met Pope Francis in Rome.
It was a special moment for many of the Wolverines, especially Jim Harbaugh, who presented the Pope with a Michigan helmet and a pair of Jordan 5 shoes.
Get a recap of Michigan's memorable day below.
