College football fans have been getting off jabs at Michigan’s expense all season.
With three-game suspensions for Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh to begin and end the year — and a sign-stealing scandal between them — there has been no shortage of jokes and insults hurled toward Ann Arbor.
After beating the Ohio State Buckeyes to clinch a berth in the Big Ten title game on Saturday, it was Michigan’s turn to dish it back out — and wideout Roman Wilson was serving up some absolute heat.
Asked if this year’s Buckeyes team was any tougher than the last two the Wolverines faced (and defeated), Wilson made clear that, no. No they were not.
He just happened to use much more colorful language.

While Wilson was talking about the whole Ohio State team, there was also only one player rocking Louis Vuitton cleats on the field this season: Wilson’s counterpart, Marvin Harrison Jr.

Considering Wilson is a senior and Harrison is all but certainly headed to the league, this may have been the last time the two match up against each other.
Wilson finished with three receptions for 36 yards and a touchdown. Harrison Jr. had five receptions for 118 yards and a score. But only Wilson left the field with a victory so, per sports law, he gets to talk as much trash as he wants.
