Michigan Football is in Need, So Ohio State Should Help Them Out
In sports, specifically where rivals are concerned, there is almost always a time and place for hostility and vitriol and rancor and acrimony and disdain and repulsion and animus, but there also comes a time when those things need to be temporarily put away when someone is in need.
Unfortunately, that time has come. The University of Michigan football team is in need and the Ohio State Buckeyes are in a position to help them.
Last week's decision by Michigan to schedule Notre Dame in 2018 and 2019 has put them in a difficult situation, but it is one in which Ohio State should seriously consider lending a hand.
You see, Michigan's 2018 schedule has them traveling to Notre Dame, Michigan State and Ohio State, and then hosting all of them the following season. That is the kind of scheduling imbalance that can throw a program out of whack.
Last Friday on the WTKA-AM radio program "The Michigan Insider", Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel talked about the unfortunate circumstance in which the U of M currently finds itself.
"I've had conversations and will continue to have conversations to look at the imbalance of (the schedule), particularly of having Michigan State and Ohio State in the same year," he said.
"It's something that I'd like to work towards to have that balance. (Ohio State and Michigan State) are our two biggest rivalries on our schedule every year. While you love the fact that you have both at home when you have them, you hate the fact that you have both on the road like this year. It just causes that imbalance for our fans and our team."
