Carolina Panthers safety Kurt Coleman is ready for rivalry week.

The former Northmont High School star greeted reporters at his locker Monday decked out in Buckeye gear then entertained them with a few bars from the song, “We Don’t Give a Damn (For the Whole State of Michigan).”

He also took a shot at teammate Devin Funchess, a Panthers receiver and former Michigan standout.

After a standout career as a Thunderbolt, Coleman was an All-American safety at Ohio State.

The Buckeyes were 4-0 against the Wolverines during his career.

No. 2 Ohio State and No. 3 Michigan are set to face off at noon Saturday at Ohio Stadium.
