Harbaugh chides OSU AD by citing 'tattoo fiasco'

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh returned to Twitter Tuesday night, this time to return a jab from Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith.

Earlier Tuesday, Smith told reporters in Columbus that he'd consider taking his school's football team on a spring trip if "we were jump-starting our program," before adding that the Buckeyes are "in a different place."

Smith's comments were a shot at Michigan's recent trip to Florida to conduct its spring practice. As he's been known to do in the past, Harbaugh fired back later Tuesday night, an apparent reference to the tattoo scandal which rocked the Buckeyes program of deposed coach Jim Tressel in 2010.
