Former Michigan State Spartan Plaxico Burress loves his alma mater. Every year you will see Burress back at Spartan Stadium to support the current team.
Plaxico also loves to sound off on Twitter.
This past season he ranted about the Spartans' loss to Nebraska and also took shots at his former coach Nick Saban.
Tuesday, Burress decided to take to Twitter to sound off about Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines practicing in Florida.
Looks like J Harbaugh is pulling out all stops to get kids to Michigan. We @MSU_Football just believe in the product. Don't have to sell us

Burress, who has had some problems with the law in the past, spending almost two years in jail for shooting himself in the leg, had some fun with some of the Twitter responses.

The Michigan and Michigan State rivalry is as strong as ever in 2016 and looks to be even stronger going forward. There isn't a time you can mention either school without the other fan base chiming in.
