The 116th meeting between Ohio State and Michigan in The Game, which is known as the greatest rivalry in all of sports, is set to take place on Saturday in Ann Arbor.
This rivalry isn’t just between two teams who hate each other. It’s between two lifestyles that prepare for each other 24/7, 365 days of the year; not just the coaches and players, but the fans too.
The hatred and disdain ooze from each state and university, but above that hatred is a mutual and abiding respect that transcends the rivalry. The respect is what makes Ohio State versus Michigan so special as two first-rate college football programs and universities collide on a football field.
