Barstool Sports’ founder Dave Portnoy is ever the Michigan lover and Ohio State troll. This time, he went to Urban Meyer’s Pint House and dressed as former Wolverines’ coach Jim Harbaugh for Halloween.

You can’t say Portnoy wasn’t in the holiday spirit! But he loves to nag Ohio State fans, especially amid Michigan’s four-game winning streak in their rivalry.

You can see in the video below that Portnoy went all out and just walked through the pub, egging everyone on. Heck, Harbaugh might be proud! Can you say trick or treat?

It’ll be a bit before Ohio State gets a chance at revenge vs. Michigan this year. For now, the Buckeyes take on Penn State while the Wolverines get Purdue.

Before Portnoy or other Michigan fans get in their head, Ryan Day and Ohio State are focused squarely on a reeling Nittany Lions team amid change and turmoil. But, they’ll see a familiar face in DC Jim Knowles on the other sideline. Knowles was Ohio State’s DC last year en route to a national title.

“Like any relationship when it breaks off: Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s bad,” Day said about facing Knowles. “But there really hasn’t been much communication. He did a great job when he was here, helped us win a national championship and kind of left it at that. Then it was: Hey, we’ve got to go get a replacement and move on from there. That’s kind of how it is.

“It was abrupt. We certainly respect the work that he did when he was here. So, we try not to take those things personal. But we are human.”

Ohio State WR Brandon Innis didn’t have any other team on his mind than Penn State. Even Michigan-man Portnoy can’t get through there!

“He did a lot of great things here,” Innis said of Knowles. “We know what he likes to do, but we have to be ready for anything. He can throw anything at us, but it’s gonna be fun. It’s gonna be a challenge.”

Ohio State gets ready for Penn State on FOX Saturday. It’s the featured game of the week as the calendar officially reached November. Kickoff is set for 12:00 p.m. ET in Columbus.
