Saturday's football pregame spat between Michigan and Michigan State is showing no signs of going away.
Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday the athletic directors for both schools should probably talk about what happened before the game at Michigan State. The Spartans walked from one end zone to the other with their arms locked, as they do before each game, but it happened while some of the Wolverines were stretching near the middle of the field.
Contact was made, words were exchanged and Michigan went on to win 21-7.
Harbaugh called it "bush league" after the game and clearly wanted to talk more about it two days later. He said the Spartans were on the field for their traditional walk later than scheduled and were led by the strength staff onto the field with coach Mark Dantonio just behind the sideline-to-sideline string of players.
"That had all the earmarkings and evidence of an orchestrated Stormtroopers march," Harbaugh said. He later confirmed in a text message he was referring to troops in the "Star Wars" film series.
On Sunday, Dantonio said, "The whole thing to me was sort of juvenile."
