Hello ladies and gents this is the viking telling you that today we are talking about
The Michigan–Ohio State football rivalry, referred to as The Game by followers, is an American college football rivalry game played annually between the University of Michigan Wolverines and The Ohio State University Buckeyes. It gathered particular national interest as most of the games from the 1970s through the mid-2000s determined the Big Ten Conference title and the resulting Rose Bowl Game match ups, and many influenced the outcome of the national college football championship. The game was ranked by ESPN in 2000 as the greatest North American sports rivalry.
The two Midwest state universities first met in 1897, and the rivalry has been played annually since 1918. The game has been played at the end of the regular season since 1935 (with the exceptions of 1942, 1986, and 1998). Since 1918, the game's site has alternated between Columbus, Ohio, and Ann Arbor, Michigan (Michigan hosts it in odd years and Ohio State in even years), and has been played in Ohio Stadium since 1922 and Michigan Stadium since 1927. Through 2010, Ohio State and Michigan have decided the Big Ten Conference championship between themselves on 22 different occasions, and have affected the determination of the conference title an additional 27 times.
For many years, the game aired on ABC, usually in the 12 p.m. Eastern time slot. Beginning with the 2017 season, the game airs on Fox as a result of that network acquiring the Big Ten's tier 1 rights in the most recent broadcasting contract.
I hope you liked this post and as always have a chilled day from the viking.
