Hipster note: If anyone still reads pat reusse, he apparently wrote a column yesterday, the basic idea of which I posted on 3 years ago. I’m not linking to the article because screw pat. Anyway here is my blog post from 2015.
Newcomers to the Big Ten (or Big Nine at that time), Ohio State joined the league in 1912. However the distance between the two schools kept them from meeting until 1921. Minnesota has played Ohio State only 51 times, fewer than almost all other Big Ten teams. Perhaps it’s good for the Gophers that the two teams are so far apart, as Ohio State has won 44 of the 51 games.
