MSU's Byron Bullough torches Jim Harbaugh, Michigan for 'lacking class'
The battle between Michigan and Michigan State started before the game ever kicked off. And though the two teams had 60 minutes to settle their differences on the field, the never-ending hatred seeped over into a post-game war of words.
Before the game, a few Michigan players were on the Spartan Stadium field while Michigan State players walked arm-in-arm across the turf. It’s a weekly ritual for the Spartans, but the timing was thrown off, leading to a pre-game skirmish.
Afterwards, Jim Harbaugh called the move “bush league” and was very unhappy with Mark Dantonio and the Spartans.
Dantonio responded to Harbaugh’s comments by saying “That’s B.S.”
Michigan State linebacker Byron Bullough also got in on the fun, taking his comments to Twitter. And he didn’t hold back when bashing Michigan or Harbaugh.
“This type of (expletive) is just unbelievable, and laughable,” Bullough wrote. “Have we not done this every game for the past however many years and never had a problem before? It’s called arrogance from a school that lacks class time and time again.”

The intensity of the rivalry seems to have only picked up steam since the game has ended. Next year’s battle should be even better.
Michigan and Michigan State are now 2-2 over the last four years, with the road team having won all four meetings.
This is one of those times when we wish we didn’t have to wait a full year to see these two teams go head-to-head again.
