The back and forth continues.
While the hatred between Michigan and Ohio State never takes a timeout, the tension between the fans, players and alums always heats up this week. It’s only Tuesday and we’ve already seen plenty of banter between the Buckeyes and Wolverines.
During Michigan’s weekly press conference, running back Karan Higdon was asked if he’d guarantee a victory over Ohio State this weekend. He responded with, “Yeah, I do.”
Word made its way back to Columbus about the guarantee. Ohio State running back Mike Weber couldn’t help but mock the comment, trolling Higdon and the Wolverines with one simple tweet.

Surely there won’t be any response from Michigan players, right?
The Buckeyes may not be feeling the heat or as much pressure from the Wolverines. Ohio State has won the last six meetings and has never lost “The Game” under Urban Meyer. While it will annoy Michigan fans, they Buckeyes have kind of earned that cockiness.
We’ll see if and how Michigan responds to Weber’s tweet. There’s still several days until kickoff. This won’t be the end of the back and forth.
