Ohio State's Darron Lee Says Nike Might Help 'Them Fools up North'

Monday afternoon, the University of Michigan announced its decision to change from Adidas to Nike in August of 2016.

The news had Michigan fans rejoicing and thinking a simple brand change will bring them back to the dominant force they were until Lloyd Carr left the program in 2007.

It appears the news traveled quick to the Ohio State players (also sponsored by Nike).

OSU's linebacker Darron Lee decided to pop off on Twitter about Michigan choosing Nike. "Maybe Them Fools up North will be good again now that they are back to Nike," Lee said in his first tweet on the subject.

Lee must have gotten some flak for his tweets as he told everyone to calm down Tuesday morning.

It does look like the Buckeyes are ready for their November 28 matchup with the Wolverines.

Are you happy that Michigan has changed from Adidas to Nike?
