Nobody Knows Ohio State–Michigan Quite Like the Boren Family, But for the First Time in a Decade ‘The Game’ Will Be Played Without One

Hope Boren has a little extra free time this weekend, so she plans to do something she hasn’t been able to in quite a while.

“I’m actually going to get some shopping done this weekend,” she says laughing. “That’s something I’ve never gotten to do this weekend before.”

This weekend, of course, is the Ohio State–Michigan game, the 113th version of college football’s greatest rivalry. Hope Boren says she will watch the game, obviously, but she has some extra time on her hands on the surrounding days this year because it’s the first time in the last decade one of her sons isn’t taking part in The Game.
