Later that day, at a stop in Marquette, El-Sayed, a Michigan alum, responded to Vance, a graduate of their hated football rivals, Ohio State. “JD Vance called me a little weasel today. I'm, like, ‘No, no, no. What you're talking about is a f***ing wolverine,’ said El-Sayed, referencing his alma mater’s mascot. “You can take your Buckeye and go shove it somewhere else...Ohio. Here we might be [Northern Michigan University] Wildcats, we might be [Michigan State] Spartans, we might be [Michigan] Wolverines, but we will never be [Ohio State] Buckeyes.”
