Ohio State star receiver Jeremiah Smith has always been very clear on what he thinks about The Team Up North. There is truly no love lost between Smith and the Wolverines, just like with any Buckeyes players.
In a recent video posted by the NFL, the question of course had to be asked about whether there was anything at all that Smith liked about The Team Up North, and Smith had the perfect answer that every Ohio State fan will love.
"No, I don't like anything about them," Smith said.

There was no hesitation, no thinking, just a straight answer on exactly how he feels about The Team Up North. This rivalry between Ohio State and Michigan is one that is one of, if not the fiercest, rivalries in all of college sports and certainly on the football field.
The Game is the biggest game at the end of the football season for both teams, doesn't matter the record or even what is on the line, even though normally it was a spot in the Big Ten Championship. Either way, it is the biggest matchup that fans come out for in full force.
Smith put it the perfect way in saying there is nothing to like about the Wolverines, and he probably shares the same sentiment as every Ohio State player in any sport.
Ohio State and Michigan are both putting together similar offseasons
Ohio State didn't have to deal with finding a new head coach at the last minute like The Team Up North did after a late firing of Sherrone Moore. However, they did bring in a solid coaching candidate in Kyle Whittingham after he announced his retirement when he was with Utah.
Both teams have been working to build strong rosters for the coming seasons, and both Ohio State and The Team Up North have done fairly well in winning commitments from future recruits. According to 247Sports team recruiting rankings, Ohio State has the No. 9 team in the country, while Michigan is not too far behind at No. 13.
Both teams have elite recruiting and a place that recruits want to be, although Ohio State will forever wonder why anyone would want to go and play for Michigan.
