In case you missed it, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh responded to some comments made by Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith with a not-so-subtle tweet Tuesday night.
Good to see Director Smith being relevant again after the tattoo fiasco. Welcome back!

As expected, some former Ohio State players saw Harbaugh's tweet and immediately took it upon themselves to respond to the coach they hung a 42-13 loss on last season — Harbaugh's first in Ann Arbor.
Here is former Buckeyes running back Ezekiel Elliott, who torched Harbaugh's vaunted defense to the tune of 214 yards last November:

Former linebacker Darron Lee was similarly annoyed. Apparently winning a football national championship two seasons ago didn't count as being "relevant."

And former wide receiver Michael Thomas' signature tagline is trending all over Columbus:

Redshirt freshman offensive lineman Branden Bowen was stunned by the whole thing:
He forreal tryna take shots at our AD tho https://t.co/dNjYY6d8e8

Former Buckeyes, most of whom now have jobs within Ohio's sports media scene, also had some thoughts.

Harbaugh ain't playing on Twitter... Talk is cheap tho. 42-13.

The Scarlet and Gray reaction wasn't limited to just football:
Is Harbaugh dumb or stupid?!?! We've won a National Championship since then... Lol!!!!! That's soooooooo dumb!!!!!

It's unlikely that Urban Meyer will return the volley, but there's no doubt that he's heard about the latest shenanigans from Ann Arbor.
@Kayla10TVOhio Seriously??? Does he do his own Twitter? I am SO over the shenanigans.
