Tony Alford, Michigan’s new RB coach, had an interesting recent tweet. Alford, who is receiving a lot of negative feedback from Ohio State fans since heading to Ann Arbor, posted the following quote from Brad Underwood after he left Oklahoma State for Illinois:
“If they hate you when you leave, you did a good job.” Brad Underwood gives an honest look into the conditional love that comes from fanbases and the confusing effects it can have on your family.

Responses from Buckeye fans:
I dont hate you. We feel betrayed to where you went. Big stinking difference coach. I mean that really frickin stinks.

Maize & blue may be a questionable look on you, but playing the victim definitely isn’t your style. Good luck 364 days of the year, and welcome to the rivalry you’re pretending not to know about. #GoBucks

Benedict Alford.
No one would be upset if you left for USC or Ole Miss. It’s where you went.
Sports would be now where without their fans and one of the reasons Ohio State is great is bc of our passionate fans.
