B.C. Battles History channel

I've watched a few episodes of this program on the History Channel that reviews ancient battles. Today, they had one on about the battle of Marathon. During the program, one of the historians commented on the relationship between Athens and Sparta. He described it as, "Ohio State and Michigan, only they used spears".

Yeah, but did any Spartans actually leave their homeland and "play" for Athens.... :biggrin:

Didn't half a Michigan's total wins come against Athens and Sparta back in this time period?
