COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 31 (UPI) -- There is no reason to be blue in Columbus, following Ohio State's national championship season.

But on the rare chance that you happen to wear the color blue in coach Urban Meyer's classroom, you will immediately regret it.

Buckeyes assistant coach Tony Alford posted a picture to Instagram Monday. Alford's photo showed Meyer pointing to the floor after spotting several blue-wearing students. His reaction was to give the Michigan color-clad violators pushup ultimatums.

Meyer teaches "Coaching Football" at Ohio State, according to the Detroit Free Press.

During his lengthy tenure at Ohio State, Jim Tressel also presided in the classroom.
