Some college football players adopt hatred toward their rivals once they arrive on campus. “They brainwash you into hating those suckers, and then you really believe it,” former Ohio State linebacker Steve Tovar famously once said of Michigan .
Some, however, apparently like to get a jump on things.
Ian Moore and Ben Roebuck fall in the latter camp, as they demonstrated in a back-and-forth Twitter exchange Tuesday.
Moore, a Buckeyes commit from New Palestine, Ind., fired the first shot by shutting down suggestions that Michigan’s 2024 offensive line class was better than Ohio State’s, writing that “two of those dudes are salty that they didn’t get OSU offers and the other two just didn’t get them.”
Roebuck, a Wolverines committ from Lakewood, Ohio, rebuked Moore, tweeting that “Michigan’s got the better offensive line and better coaches. Seems like I wasn’t missing out on much.”
Always comes down to not having that offer. Michigan’s got the better offensive line and better coaches. Seems like I wasn’t missing out on much… Go blue〽️ https://t.co/FwISSFoutN

The Buckeyes and Wolverines will meet Nov. 25 in Ann Arbor, but despite their spirited tiff, neither Moore nor Roebuck will be in action in the rivalry until at least 2024.
