Growing up in Ohio, there's few things that you learn about earlier in life than The Game.
Ohio State and Michigan, for all the marbles. That's what you knew from the time you could walk.
The Friday before the game you'd head to school with your newest Scarlet and Gray gear and you'd no doubt make fun of that one kid in your class donning Maize and Blue. You'd mock him mercilessly in the hopes that by way of your support, John Cooper would find a way to rally the Buckeyes to a late November win.
