Everyone knows the famous saying from the beloved Walt Disney classic film “Bambi” telling us not to say anything at all if there’s nothing nice to say – and that applies to college football rivalries.
Michigan State Spartans head coach Mel Tucker, who defeated the Michigan Wolverines in his first matchup against them last October, had a rather blunt response when he was asked directly to say three nice things about his rivals.
“No, I can’t,” he said after a moment of deliberation.
Journalist: Coach can you say 3 nice things about your rival ?

Tucker is electing to let his team’s work on the field last year at The Big House in Ann Arbor speak for itself, as they took down the Wolverines in a massive upset.
