The Red Hot Chili Peppers delivered an encore that its Columbus, Ohio, crowd won't soon forget.

Or, likely, forgive.

As drummer Chad Smith was being cheered following a performance at Value City Arena -- Ohio State's basketball facility -- the Detroit native picked up a mic and sung the first few measures to "The Victors," the University of Michigan fight song.

He, of course, was roundly booed by the partisan crowd.

Then he dropped the mic, and walked off stage. Literally.
