Earlier this week, Penn State Football sent out a tweet copying the famous Michigan motto, a quote from legendary former Michigan coach Bo Schembechler. One in which any Michigan fan and student knows, "The Team, The Team, The Team."
Here's the tweet:
The team, the team, the team. #mondaymotivation pic.twitter.com/0AmLS11VdC

Michigan fans didn't take too kindly to the tweet and flooded social media with comments:
@PennStateFball The plagiarism, the plagiarism, the plagiarism. #GoBlue
