The rivalry between Michigan and Michigan State is well documented and, in the recent past, the Spartans have gotten the better of the Wolverines between the white lines. However, Jim Harbaugh's team got off to a strong start in the 2016 game, taking a 27-10 lead into halftime and, prior to the break, the Spartan faithful in East Lansing had a strong (and very audible) message for the opposing head coach.

While Michigan fans took notable exception to this particular chant, it probably did appeal to fans clad in green instead of maize and blue.

It isn't every day that you can hear the "f"-word on ESPN in this fashion, but Michigan State fans were not bashful in this particular instance. As such, the worldwide leader was basically put in an impossible position, and while the audio feed didn't last that long on the broadcast, it was certainly long enough for the general public to get the picture.
