Rashan Gary made plenty of headlines late this week as the Michigan Wolverines NFL prospect makes the media rounds before next week’s draft.

Perhaps his loudest headline came on The Rich Eisen Show. Keep in mind that Eisen, a longtime NFL Network host and personality, is a Michigan grad and proud of it. Gary might have missed the Michigan State game — a 21-7 win for the Wolverines in East Lansing — but he still fired a shot at the Spartans on his way to the NFL.

“That’s just a game I wish I was there for,” Gary said, according to USA Today. “Every time we go play our little sister – little sister – there’s always that passion and anger you have for that type of game. Just seeing my brother go out there with the emotions I would have had times 100, it hurts. But we came out with the win. And we own Michigan, period.”

“Little sister” builds upon the Chase Winovich “little brother” commentary that went viral after the win. Even though Gary’s time as a Wolverine is over on the field, there is clearly no love lost.

“Just so everybody know out there, for all you State fans, the University of Michigan Wolverines – that’s our state, period,” Gary said. “We’ll see y’all next year.”

Next year, the game returns to Ann Arbor as Michigan State kicks off against Michigan Nov. 16. The Spartans won 14-10 during the last game at the Big House. Dating back to 1898, Michigan leads the all-time series 70-36-5. The series is even at 2-2- since Jim Harbaugh took over Michigan. Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio is 8-4 against the rival Wolverines.

Gary made many media rounds this week. The former 247Sports Composite No. 1 overall recruit in the country stood behind his previous statements of being the best player available in the draft.

“A big thing for me is that I believe in myself,” said Gary, who had 119 tackles, 23 TFLs and 9.5 sacks at Michigan. “I’d bet on me before I bet on anybody else. I know what I’m able to bring to the table. I know the work that I put into it. Knowing me and knowing what I bring to the table when it comes to football, I feel like I have yet to scratch the surface. I’m not a finished product. … I’m going to show what I need to show.”
