Mark Dantonio has been trolling Michigan for years. He did it back in the fall after his Michigan State Spartans upset the Wolverines by mentioning the number of formations Jim Harbaugh uses on offense. As if to say: “I know football, too!”

And he did it again this week, when asked what he thought about MSU getting punked by Michigan for a spot in the Outback Bowl — the Spartans had the better record.
