Does no one else find it odd that UM has been involved in post-game altercations 2 weeks in a row? Are they out there stirring the pot heading into the locker room and it leads to these types of incidents? It's just curious to me. They might need to look in the mirror as well here.

Note, I am in no way excusing the behavior by MSU players. Hitting someone with your helmet is inexcusable, no matter what the other player may have done or said leading up to that.

Juwan Howard also punched a Wisconsin assistant coach last year. Michigan athletics are a disgrace

Yeah I didn't watch this game but it does seem strange that this is the second week in a row that his team is in a dustup in the tunnel and he's whining about how it's the other guy's fault yet again.

Third fight in Michigan's last seven home games, Harbaugh is scUM.

I gotta ask, if one gets assulted twice; does that automatically make one culpable somehow?

I have zero doubt the UM players are talking trash and trying to get under the skin of opponents. As an opposing coach you have to prep your team for it.

Want to be a total Richard if you think UM might cross the line with their smack talk? It's 2022. Have camera filming the whole thing.

As I made pretty clear, I didn't see the game, and it's not a story I'm particularly interested in in part because I find Harbaugh to be absolutely insufferable. I was just making the fairly obvious observation that these sort of tunnel fights don't happen that often and they've happened with his team two weeks in a row. Maybe your take is that the Michigan players are the blameless victims of assault on consecutive weekends. Fair enough.

My take is that they were jumped this week, I don't know what happened last week. I guess I don't like takes that kneejerk blame the victim while admitting they don't know the facts. Even if the victims are big guys.

Saw the video last year against Ohio State in the same tunnel, and it was clear Michigan players and even coaches were stirring it up. Does not condone hitting someone with a helmet. They should be charged. But I'm 100% convinced Harbaugh's players and coaches stir this up. There are earlier videos of this clip where you see Michigan players coming out of their lockers stirring this up, but check out the Michigan staffer with the visor and his buddy stirring things up:

Here's how it began. What's missing in between is pushing and then staffers getting into it.

Am I missing something? This is a video from 2013 when Brady Hoke was the coach
argh, I looked for 2021. It says 2021

So the 2nd video is from another time it also happened? 2013?

Yeah I just saw the video from your post and it did happen in 2021 too, for some reason it kept saying unavailable. But the 2nd one was from 2013, seems like Michigan just likes fighting

Michigan fans where are you? "Sombody, anybody ".
My son and my money went to UM. Dont know if Harbaugh is scum. Dont know what might have happened during the game - didn’t see it - that might have led to whatever. But when when i was a kid we used to ssy “sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me”
(That was before political correctness). The point us obvious. No matter how mouthy UM players might be or how scummy Harbaugh is or isn’t, the MSU players who did the physical stuff were at least involved in aggravated assault. ,

Harbaugh is a POS, there's a lot of stories for a long time. Since he's been at Michigan same deal, just look at how he's handled the stuff with the Real Sports UM scandal they covered that's still going on, he's not a good guy.

Michigan State looks terrible in this and the University is a toxic dump when it comes to handling athletics but it takes two to tango.

University of Michigan great school but there's some horrible behavior there from the people who run the place.
