HBO brings perspective to rivalry Adding human touch makes show a success
Published on Tuesday, Nov 13, 2007
Montagues vs. Capulets. Hatfields vs. McCoys. Bugs vs. Daffy.
All worthy rivalries, but none compare to that of the Ohio State Buckeyes vs. the Michigan Wolverines, and finally someone on a national level gets that fact.
In Michigan vs. Ohio State: The Rivalry, an HBO Sports documentary, filmmakers clearly understand the nuances and history of one of sports' premier annual events. It airs at 10:30 tonight on the cable channel.
Ross Greenberg and Rick Bernstein are executive producers, but the credit for this enjoyable trip through Buckeye-Wolverine lore goes to editor George Roy and writer Erik Kesten, who take compelling footage and blend it together to create a documentary that elicits reactions ranging from laughter to tears.

HBO documentary examines the border
A Michigan fan planted this sign in the yard of an Ohio State fan in Ida, Mich., in a photo appearing on HBO.
( THE BLADE )
ANN ARBOR - Those in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan know the battle lines run deep in the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry. A new college football documentary about "the greatest rivalry in sport" has taken note of that and refers to the border between Michigan and Ohio as the "70-mile line of scrimmage" between the two schools with so much shared hatred. Michigan vs. Ohio State: The Rivalry debuts on HBO at 10:30 tonight, four days before the Buckeyes and Wolverines do battle for the Big Ten title for the 65th time.
HBO premiered the hour-long film in Columbus two weeks ago and here last week, with a standing-room only crowd of nearly 1,500 taking in the screening at the Michigan Theatre.

I got a chance to see the film a couple weeks ago at a screening down on campus. I thought it was really well done. The movie tries not to take any sides, but there is an OSU lean. But there still is plenty of times throughout the movie where they bash OSU, mainly the fans, making us look like a bunch of redneck, uneducated idiots.
The movie mainly focuses on the 10 year war and the relationship between Woody and Bo. There is a lot of Woody in this movie, many stories of his hatred for U of M.
As mentioned in previous posts, there is no mention of LLLLLoyd. They speak of Coop's struggles and the hiring of Tressel, but no mention of Carr.
There is plenty of bashing of both sides in this movie, beat writers from both schools do spots in it, and they make it very well known who they love/hate.
Overall, i enjoyed it and it definitely got me pumped up for the game. GO BUCKS

Just watched it. Pretty well done for all the reasons covered above.
They even touched on the traitor issue.

I won a math debate
Having just watched it, I really enjoyed it, parts of it actually brought a tear to my eye. There's a lot of details there that have been unknown for those beyond the scarlet and grey and the maize and blue. I had heard that because of Bo's death they had done a lot less tsun footage than expected and it's pretty obvious, the second half is pretty much all tOSU. Overall though, I thought the history was there, HBO did it in a great way and I could and would watch this over and over.
Bo Biafra, lead singer for the Dead Schembechlers, does a bit of the comments and he's a little overboard, but it works out when trying to describe the feeling. I was sad they showed Woodys downfall, I realize they had to, but everytime I see that clip I hurt a little inside. They talk about Earl, but they don't go into the details of what happened which I feel is good and bad, but then again, it's probably best that the general public not know about that scenario. They do talk about Tressel, and he gets compliments even from some scUM alumni.
Overall, I think people will really enjoy it, it was well done.

I just ordered HBO and associated "premium" shit just to watch this (ended up ordering it a little late so it didn't get activated until about 15 minutes into the show). They did make the average OSU fan look like a hilljack early on, but they sort of made Michigan alumni look smug, uppity, and arrogant (never knew 60 Minutes' Mike Wallace was a Michigan grad). In the long run, it did indeed seem to have a slight OSU lean. I also knew that Woody went up to speak at a ceremony for Bo, but didn't realize that he went back home and died right after the ceremony. Pretty good show overall...

It did make me want to punch that bitch from USA Today in her spleen however.

You bred raptors?
I thought this production was amazing, it really got to me towards the end when they showed the passing of Woody. This documentary really brings out what the Ohio State vs. Michigan game is all about! There were really cool things to find out about it from the enemies side that I never even cared to really know about, but I finally got a glance at what the game is from their perspective when watching this movie.
All in all, I think my two favorite cameos from the movie were Earle Bruce and the Dispatch columnist who's name escapes me. Earle was really touching and fired up with everything he had to say, and the Dispatch guy I felt was just so good at captivating what Ohio State really means to all of us. When he went on about the spreading of the ashes by the stands story, that really got to me, because I know when I'm that old and decrepit I will be that guy wanting my ashes spread by the field! Also I felt that Jack Park was under-utilized in the video, but did a fantastic job in spreading the history of Ohio State football early on in the video.
Also, that piece of shit from Michigan, some stupid journalist, the most smug and arrogant of them all, the dumb blonde... man I just wanted to strangle him. I also found out that I despise that First and 10 chick even more so now, and Mike Wallace can go eat his own asshole out for all I care, what a douche!
Well, anyways, it was a really cool video and has me fully pumped and amped up for The Game this weekend! I cannot wait to stomp some Wolverine ass again and be 6-1 against those fuckers!

I thought it was an amazing show. It captivated the audience with the sincere friendship between Woody and Bo, and really brought a lot of respect to the rivalry, the schools, and The Game.
It had it's moments of glory and sunshine among hate and bitterness, but it also touched upon the mystique in which we all delve on that third Saturday in November. It makes you appreciate the history listening to Jack Park talk about the games in the early days, the late 60's, and the turn of the century.
It posed a less-than-educated slant on Ohio fans, but it also reminded the greater talent in which Michigan has plucked over the last several decades their great players from the state of Ohio.
In all, it was very well done in encompassing the secular religion in which we all live, emphasizing the supreme levity in which we all seem to forget. The friendships and rivalries are prioritized significantly among the banners, pride and rich tradition of both programs. It sets the greatest game on the pedestal for which it deserves- the most spectacular event in all of sports.
