Penn State tweets of the day
We start with Jim Harbaugh’s comments. He was asked Monday to respond to James Franklin saying that the one tunnel setup at Michigan Stadium is a problem after both sides were seen yelling back and forth during halftime of the Penn State-Michigan game.
“I’ve really got bigger fish to fry than Coach Franklin’s opinion on the halftime tunnel from a game ago,” Harbaugh said. “All you’ve got to do is walk into their locker room. I think you saw pretty clearly they completely stopped. They weren’t letting us get up the tunnel, and it just seemed like a sophomoric ploy to try to keep us out of our locker room. And he looked like he was the ringleader of the whole thing.
