Ohio State vs Michigan

The Ohio State-Michigan football rivalry, played over 100 times since 1897, is among the most significant in American college sports and attracts over 107,000 fans at Michigan Stadium. Woody Hayes once refused to stop for gas in Michigan, saying he'd rather push his car to Ohio, while mentor-protege coaches Hayes and Bo Schembechler ignited the "Ten Year War" (1969-1978) that defined the Big Ten. This rivalry costs Ohio State students a week without the letter "M" before The Game — a distinctive, unmatched piece of college football tradition. Drawing an annual national television audience in the millions, it remains one of America's premier gridiron clashes.
