Touche! Harbaugh smacks back at Ohio State AD through tweet

The gloves appear to be off in one of college football’s storied rivalries.

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, who has masterfully used Twitter to zing opposing coaches, on Tuesday night went after Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith.

Earlier in the day Smith took a shallow dig at Michigan when asked by local reporters whether the Ohio State program would consider taking its football team on the road for spring practice, as Harbaugh did with the Wolverines.

“If we were jump starting our program I’d probably try to do that too, but we’re not jump starting our program,” Smith said in a story reported by ElevenWarriors.
