Desmond Howard Ripped For 'Classless' Move On College GameDay

ESPN's Desmond Howard is taking heat for "classless" behavior on College GameDay on Saturday morning.

The former Michigan Wolverines star doesn't like Ohio, that's obvious. So, Saturday's show in Columbus was a tough one for the Heisman Trophy winner. Ohio State, No. 2 in the country, was hosting No. 5 Indiana in The Horseshoe. Both ESPN's College GameDay and FOX's Big Noon Kickoff aired shows live from the stadium before kickoff on Saturday afternoon.

ESPN's College GameDay brought in some local food from Columbus restaurants for the crew to have on the air, as is tradition. It's a nice way to pay tribute to the local food scene and culture of whatever college the show is at. But Howard is taking heat for what he did with the food.

Howard refused to eat the Columbus, Ohio food, bringing his own "brown bag" lunch instead.

The Ohio State community is calling out Howard, claiming his behavior was "classless."

As it turns out, Howard has no issues letting everyone know he still has a ton of dislike for Ohio State. With College GameDay in Columbus for the showdown between Ohio State and Indiana on Saturday, Howard took things to the pettiest level you'll ever see.

With fantastic food being made available for the College GameDay crew, Howard decided he was above that. Instead, he had a sack lunch ready on hand to showcase live for everyone to see. So, instead of just eating food that was made on campus, Howard passed and packed his own grub? Come on, man!

It was a petty move, to be sure.

Was it a funny move by the former Michigan Wolverines star or did Howard cross the line with his disrespectful behavior to the Ohio State campus?
