Michigan’s coach came for Gene Smith and Twitter went crazy

The biggest rivalry in the Big Ten continues to intensify

Members of the Ohio State family went to Twitter in order to defend Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith after this tweet by University of Michigan Coach Jim Harbaugh.

This tweet by Harbaugh was in response to Gene Smith’s comments earlier in the week about Harbaugh holding spring practice in Florida.

“If we were jumpstarting our program I’d probably try and do that, too,” said Smith. “But we’re not jumpstarting our program. We’re in a different place.”

The Buckeyes have beaten the Wolverine the last four times these football teams have met, including a 42-13 win this past season.

Former Ohio State football players Ezekiel Elliot, Darron Lee, and Michael Thomas fired back at the Harbaugh with these tweets.

Additionally former basketball player J.J. Sullinger chimed in on the action.

Even Shelley Meyer, wife of Ohio State Head Coach Urban Meyer, was not impressed by Harbaugh’s trash talk.
