The Ohio State-Michigan rivalry will never take a break. Regardless of circumstance, the hatred will continue.
That was apparent on Tuesday morning, when former Ohio State star receiver and current New Orleans Saint Michael Thomas took a shot at the Wolverines amid the Urban Meyer situation.
An Ohio State Barstool account took at shot at Michigan first on Tuesday morning, tweeting out an image of the football program’s slogan “Those who stay will be champions.” The Barstool account added “They say Urban Meyer lied, but Michigan has been lying for years.”

That, alone, gained plenty of traction on Twitter.
After that was posted, Thomas added to it, tweeting “On everything!” Thomas’ tweet didn’t last very long, as it was taken down after it was posted. The Spun was able to capture the tweet.
Thomas probably realized it wasn’t in his best interest to chime in with that response on such a serious issue regarding his former coach Urban Meyer, even if his comment was meant in harmless fun.
Either way, the rivalry is still strong amongst the fans and the players.
