Jabrill Peppers is, by any measure, one of the best players in the country and any unbiased fan would acknowledge his impressive football profile. However, not every fan is unbiased and there is no love lost between Michigan and Ohio State, especially when it comes to social media.
Following Michigan's 37-point drubbing of Central Florida on Saturday, Peppers took to Twitter and lashed out at a fan of the Buckeyes that was trolling him and, well, he put on a show. First, the do-everything star defender referred to Ohio State as the "Suckeyes" and then said that this particular fan was "sucking" him.
I swear you Suckeye fans always sucking me! I don't care about stats only wins, stop @'n me. Just be a fan & #HopOff https://t.co/RqqB0srbQb

From there, Peppers swiftly moved toward justification of his explosion, indicating that he hears regularly from Ohio State fans on this particular form of social media.
I don't usually respond but it's every hour of everyday lol They talk about me more than their own team.. If I suck why you keep comparing?🤔

Finally, he wrapped things up by stating his allegiance to Michigan and ended on a positive note.
Bottom line is, I will continue to do what I love, for the school I love, while you watch and hate! Have fun😎. #GoBlizzyBlue

The Wolverines and Buckeyes have both been impressive in the early going of the 2016 season, but with the way that Ohio State has dominated the series in recent years, Michigan will have to prove itself on the field in Columbus in late November. Until then, Peppers and his teammates likely hear plenty from folks who support their arch rival.
