Well this is certainly some unexpected weekend fun, and Michigan-Ohio State rivalry fun at that.
Earlier today, new Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh sent out a tweet on his personal Twitter account, containing his “Thought of the Day,” that seemed to be directed at Ohio State and the Mike Weber brouhaha. In it, Harbaugh uses a Sir Walter Scott quote that uses the word “deceive,” a not-so-veiled nod at Weber’s coach very publicly stating that the OSU staff had, in essence, lied to his former player.
Thought of the day - What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive! - Sir Walter Scott

A few hours later, an Ohio State staffer, director of player personnel Mark Pantoni, sent out a tweet of his own. And, with the “Thought of the Day” motif and accompanying picture, this one seemed to be directed squarely at Harbaugh’s tweet.

Well-played with the overhead smash, Mr. Pantoni. 15-all.
Mr. Harbaugh, your serve.
