Michigan football not only beat Ohio State this season, but also won the Big Ten Championship and is set to play Georgia in the College Football Playoff. Certainly, that gives the Wolverines some bragging rights.
But what about flat-out calling out your rival?
On Wednesday, Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud met with the media in a press conference set to cover his inclusion as a Heisman Trophy finalist. But, in said media availability, while he said he makes no excuses for the Buckeyes’ loss to Michigan on Nov. 27, he followed that up immediately by saying that the team was suffering from the flu, and that it ‘kind of does matter.’
It looks like Michigan running back Blake Corum may be sub-tweeting Stroud, by letting the world know what he thinks about excuses.
Excuses are tools of incompetence used to build bridges to nowhere and monuments of nothingness, and those who use them seldom specialize in anything else. Go Blue

If it is, indeed, something of a troll, Corum’s tweet is quite reminiscent of Jim Harbaugh early in his Michigan tenure, when he used to sub-tweet rival programs quite frequently.
Regardless, Michigan and Corum have earned the right to say whatever they want for the next year, particularly when it comes to that team down south.
