Michigan recruit Logan Tuley-Tillman is unapologetic about a picture he posted on Twitter of himself burning a recruiting letter from Ohio State, even in the face of a barrage of obscene online taunts from Buckeyes fans.

"It made my mom upset, but I just told her it's empty thoughts," 2013 commit Tuley-Tillman told WolverineNation. "It's the biggest rivalry in sports. It's sad that grown men and women get like this over a picture. I say women because there have been a few adult female Ohio State fans sending bad stuff, too. God bless them, though."

There are always fumes in the air around this rivalry, and the prized offensive tackle from Peoria, Ill., literally took a match to them, not fully expecting this kind of reaction.

"Everyone was saying that Mike McCray and I were going to flip to Ohio," Tuley-Tillman said in reference to himself and fellow Michigan commit McCray, a linebacker from Trotwood, Ohio. "My mom showed me the letter, and it was more of a personal thing [to burn it]. I didn't think it would get this much attention."

The picture was accompanied by hashtags that said "GoBlue" and "BeatOhio," which is how Brady Hoke refers to Michigan's chief rival. It has since been picked up throughout the athletic program.

Ohio State defensive tackle commit Tracy Sprinkle (Elyria, Ohio/Elyria), tweeted, "Michigan commits talk a good game. I'd rather show out on the field. #fueltomyfire." "
