It's a tale almost as old as time, or so it seems.

Michigan and Michigan State, talking smack since the beginning of their football rivalry.

The latest salvo – not counting fans and followers on social media, of course – was fired off by MSU running back L.J. Scott.

During the Big Ten media days in Chicago, Scott fielded questions after his dealings with U-M.

"It's just like we get no respect from them," Scott said about the rivalry. "And I pretty much learned that freshman year."

After recalling that trip to Ann Arbor – the 2015 game that ended with the Jalen Watts-Jackson fumbled-snap touchdown – he was asked about why he think there's a lack of respect from the U-M and their fans.
