Rutgers and Michigan fight over graphic design on Twitter

We know about the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry, but Rutgers-Michigan?

Well, it's real, and just as intense, as the programs demonstrated Friday on Twitter in a very specific way.

It began late last year, when Rutgers said its best talent should stay in state and attend Rutgers rather than go to programs like the one in Ann Arbor. Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh grabbed six players from the Garden State, including No. 1 prospect Rashan Gary, this year.

The next move came when Michigan set up a satellite camp at Paramus Catholic in New Jersey and invited Rutgers to attend. New Scarlet Knights head coach Chris Ash declined and organized the program's own 30 miles away, also inviting Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer.

When Ash recently used one of Harbaugh's recruiting tactics, he got called out on Twitter by the Wolverines graphic designer.

Rutgers was quick to respond and called out UM.

The two programs meet up Oct. 8 at Rutgers.
