A testy afternoon of football between Ohio State and Michigan appeared to spill over to the sidelines on Saturday, with video of a vulgar exchange involving Buckeyes athletic director Gene Smith surfacing online.
Smith, Ohio State’s AD since 2005, appears on the video getting into a profanity-laced conversation with an unidentified sideline official and a Michigan staff member. The clip, posted by Trey Wallace of Outkick, shows the official speaking to Smith and seeming to ask for his name for presumably standing too close to the field during the game.
“What the f— is yours? What the f— is your name?” Smith asked the official before turning his attention to the Michigan staffer. “I’m behind the yellow line. Don’t get me started.”
