The Game: History of Ohio State-Michigan, the greatest rivalry in all of sports
Happy Thanksgiving Week from everybody at Bucknuts.com and 247Sports.com!One of the most important chapters in the long and legendary history of the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry will be written on Saturday as the second-ranked Buckeyes visit the third-rated Wolverines at Michigan Stadium.
The teams will meet as unbeaten and untied opponents for the second year in a row and fifth time ever. They are both 11-0 for The Game for the third time, following the one-versus-two match-up in 2006 and last year’s game.
This rivalry is considered by many as the greatest in all of sports -- at least that’s where it was voted in 1999 in balloting conducted by ESPN.com.
Yes, Ohio State-Michigan was ahead of Muhammad Ali-Joe Frazier, Duke-North Carolina, Wilt Chamberlain-Bill Russell, Canadiens-Maple Leafs, Jack Nicklaus-Arnold Palmer and Yankees-Red Sox on the continuum of sports' top head-to-head match-ups.
This year will mark the 119th meeting between the Buckeyes and Wolverines on the college gridiron. The teams had played for 102 consecutive years, dating back to 1918 prior to the cancellation of the 2020 game due to Covid.
The feelings of enmity and respect continue to flow on both sides of this tradition-laden rivalry. The hard feelings are perhaps as real as they have ever been as Michigan faces allegations it resorted to illegal in-person spying of its opponents – including Ohio State – to try and gain an advantage.

Unfortunately I'm away on Thanksgiving for the first time since 2010. And just learned we have to go to a cousin's house whose husband is a Michigan fan. I am being tested and I hate it.
