Taco Charlton still has the maize and blue running through his veins. So when Michigan gets a win, and Ohio State is handed a loss, the NFL defensive lineman can’t help but celebrate.

But the former Wolverine received plenty of blowback for the comments he made while Ohio State was on the wrong end of a 49-20 thumping by Purdue.

Saturday night, Charlton — who is currently a member of the Dallas Cowboys — fired off a slew of tweets celebrating Michigan’s win over Michigan State and bashing the Buckeyes for their loss to Purdue.

Those tweets did not go over too well.

Buckeye fans on Twitter were quick to point out that Charlton was 0-4 against Ohio State while he was in Ann Arbor. And they had no trouble constantly reminding him of the Wolverines’ recent struggles in the rivalry game.

There’s clearly no love lost between the Michigan star and the Ohio State faithful.

Despite never beating the Buckeyes, Charlton was a first round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, going No. 28 overall to the Cowboys.

You can certainly bet Charlton, along with several other Wolverines, will be pretty loud on social media in the weeks leading up to the season finale against Ohio State.
