Mark Dantonio calls ‘B.S’ after Jim Harbaugh’s comments about pre-game scuffle
Published:
On Saturday, No. 6 Michigan defeated No. 24 Michigan State 21-7.
Many were watching from across the country, and just about everybody was probably watching in the state of Michigan. The two teams hate each other. That’s just a fact.
Before the game, a bit of a scuffle happened when Michigan players wouldn’t move when Michigan State came out onto the field walking arm in arm. Harbaugh said the whole thing was “bush league,” and that about 5 yards behind the scene, Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio was just smiling.
Harbaugh called that “bush league” too.
Dantonio, after the 14-point loss, was asked about Harbaugh’s comments. The Spartans coach wasn’t backing down:
Dantonio on Harbaugh comments about MSU coach being behind pregame situation: "That's BS." Says, "You guys get your cameras out. I'm not gonna go to that. Go ahead, next question."
A few seconds later, Dantonio says unprompted: "Bush league? Mmmhmm."

These two teams don’t just hate each other. The two coaches aren’t exactly sharing a beer tonight, either.
We already can’t wait for this game next year.
