Fans have speculated endlessly about the meaning behind the same. What could it mean?

All of this comes after the fallout between the Big 10 and Coach Jim Harbaugh because of the sign-stealing incident. This resulted in his suspension for the rest of the NCAA season. Twitter users are confused and looking for possible connections between the suspension and the tweets by Michigan Wolverines players.

Following the suspension of their head coach, several Michigan players tweeted “bet“. QB JJ McCarthy, along with other key players in the team like offensive lineman Trevor Keegan, LaDarius Henderson, Karsen Barnhart, Zak Zinter as well as defensive stars Kris Jenkins, Mike Sainristil, and Josh Wallace have done this.

Interestingly, even Barstool Sports CEO and former Michigan player Dave Portnoy tweeted, “I love this rally cry. Bet I will.” As curious as it seems, Tom Brady joined in and posted the same on his Twitter. Once fans noticed the 7x SB winner’s intervention, they couldn’t stop their excitement.
