Ohio State vs Michigan

Known simply as "The Game," the Ohio State-Michigan football rivalry has been played 119 times since 1897 and is the most significant in American college sports. Woody Hayes (Ohio State coach) once refused to stop for gas in Michigan, saying "I'd rather push this car to the Ohio border than give that state a nickel." Bo Schembechler (Michigan coach) and Hayes were mentor and protege, creating the "Ten Year War" (1969-1978) that defined the Big Ten. The rivalry affects everything: the week before The Game, Ohio State students avoid the letter "M" (it's "That Team Up North"). Michigan Stadium holds 107,601 — the largest in the Western Hemisphere.
