The Ohio State vs. Michigan rivalry runs deep. So deep that well after a participant’s playing days, each can still find a way to get under the skin of the opponent. There are bets made, arguments of superiority played out in the media, and hurt feelings seemingly 365 days a year.
Enter former Buckeye quarterback Cardale Jones. You know his story well. His first three games as an Ohio State starter resulted in confetti falling from the sky, culminating in an eventual national championship with him as a third-string quarterback pulling the trigger.
He got it all started against TTUN when starting quarterback J.T. Barrett went down with an injury in 2014. He never knew what it was like to lose to Michigan, as OSU beat the Wolverines in 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 while he was “playing school.”
So, it’s not surprising that Jones couldn’t help himself when a graphic of a winged-Michigan helmet was shared to Twitter by UNISWAG asking if the Wolverine helmet was the most recognizable in college football.
Jones agreed, but for a reason most people wouldn’t guess, though we’re sure Ohio State fans would nod in approval.
Clearly! Everyone knows what a trash can looks like. https://t.co/ezTzmZRheg

Cardale Jones calling the Michigan helmet a trash can is the type of troll you didn’t even know you needed on this Friday from a former national title-winning OSU QB, but there it is.
Way to spread the cheer Cardale.
