The Michigan Wolverines found a way to defeat the Alabama Crimson Tide in the Rose Bowl on Monday night. And they wasted no time in trolling Alabama after the game during their locker room celebration.
It was a close game throughout that either team could have won. But it was Michigan that came through with the big plays once it got to overtime.
Michigan received the ball first in overtime and star running back Blake Corum was able to find the endzone on a 17-yard rushing touchdown.

Michigan was then to stop Alabama on the goal line with their first possession of overtime, sealing their spot in the National Championship Game.

Even though Michigan was the one who came into the game undefeated, they were surprisingly only two-point favorites in the game over Alabama. Plenty were giving Alabama a real shot to win this game.
After the game, it was clear that Michigan felt slighted by this. Once they got back to the locker room, a number of players took part in a TikTok video posted by star wide receiver Roman Wilson.
An influencer named Druski posted a YouTube video earlier in the year where he used a fake Southern accent posing as an Alabama fan at a tailgate of a game.
Wilson used an audio clip of that video to make his own video to troll Alabama along with a few of his teammates.

Wilson was not the only one to troll Alabama after the game. Michigan defensive lineman Cam Goode spoke to the media after the game, saying that they “weren’t worried” about Alabama and that they expected to be facing Florida State instead.
“We were more shocked that Florida State didn’t make it. We weren’t worried about Bama. But I mean you guys saw the results. We got the dub and that’s all that matters man. Roses smell real good.”
Cam Goode: “We beat Alabama FAIR and square.”

Michigan clearly let their performance do the talking on the field. But it seems like they also had a big chip on their shoulder for this game and are now letting Alabama and their fans hear about the win.
