Ok, so something less image-centric;

When The Game is played on 11/25
Date/Location/Winner/score

11/25/1939...Ann Arbor/UM/21-14
11/25/1944...Columbus/OSU/18-14
11/25/1950...Columbus/UM/9-3 (The Snow Bowl)
11/25/1961...Ann Arbor/OSU/50-20
11/25/1967...Ann Arbor/OSU/24-14
11/25/1972...Columbus/OSU/14-11
11/25/1978...Columbus/UM/14-3 (Woody's last Game)
11/25/1989...Ann Arbor/UM/24-17
11/25/1995...Ann Arbor/UM/31-23 (Fucking Cooper)

As to be expected when you go back over the entire span of time, it's about even

Some memorable editions of The Game played this date, both good and bad.

Hopefully this one coming up is more 1961 than 1995.

The story of the 1961 Game is worth learning if you weren't already aware of it. Here is one version: http://www.cleveland.com/osu-michigan/2012/02/osu-michigan_1961_buckeyes_win.html

Bottom line;
  • scUM scored with 34 seconds to play to make it 42-20
  • Woody called only his 5th pass play of the day which went for 60 to the tsun 10 yard line
  • With about 20 seconds remaining, Woody called 3 more passes
  • On 4th and goal he got his TD
  • The article doesn't mention the 2 point conversion but from the math of the score, it had to have happened with little to no time on the clock

1995: My most hated Buckeye game of all time. I'm absolutely convinced that if they win in 1995, they also win in 1996, get the natty, and Cooper's legacy is completely different.
