They call it simply "The Game" for a reason. There may not be a more intense rivalry in college football, or any sport, than the annual hate-fest between Ohio State and Michigan. For more than a century, the inhabitants of these two neighboring states — pleasant, kind folk from the Midwest most of the year — turn into a pair of warring tribes at each others' throats late in the fall.
No need to rehash the ugly details. Michigan 45, Ohio State 23, in front of about 107,000 mostly infuriated Midwesterners at the Horseshoe in Columbus. Talk about a Buckeye meltdown and saying good-bye to national championship dreams.
We drove to Cleveland to watch the game. ODOT got clever with its signs. In Ohio, lots of people wear Ohio State gear. When you see a fellow Buckeye, you say, “O-H,” they respond, “I-O.” ODOT go into the spirit of the game with its spirited travel advisory.
