THE GAME: ttun @ tOSU, Sat Nov 26, 12pm, FOX

Dream scenario is Day lines up in I-formation and runs it right down SCUM's throat the very first series.

I'd love to see that and then see the blank stare on Hairball's face.

Cincinnati and Arkansas? I can see an angle where every other game on that list has some appeal but UC and Arkansas?

A mid major the year after a once in a generation team is gone vs a perennial bottom half of a P5 conference team?

I don't get it.

It's like Skyline Chili - actually any "Cincinnati" chili - you have to be from there to understand. As for the chili - it sucks. I did find a place in Arlington, VA, Firehouse Chili, that offered up five different chili themes and made a very fine version of "Cincinnati Chili" for one of the five types.

Dream scenario is Day lines up in I-formation and runs it right down SCUM's throat the very first series.
If your dream is to see Ohio State win by a large score, then this strategy, paired with Michigan's, would yield a low scoring game.

My own take on the game: 1. Ohio State has yet to prove that they can run the ball consistently. 2. Michigan has yet to prove that they can score fast. 3. Ohio State's defense takes risks - expect a big play or two that hit home for Michigan. 4. Michigan's secondary needs to hold to keep up with good receivers. Expect a few holding calls and expect five or six big passing plays for the Buckeyes. I expect Michigan to try and grind through the first three quarters; four if the game is close. I expect the Bucks to fill the air all day long. Good weather, bucks by 14+. Bad weather, game goes to the team with the ball last.

WHAT IS A RIVALRY? A documentary on Ohio State vs. Michigan will debut on television for the first time on Saturday at 4 p.m. ET – perfectly sandwiched between the Buckeyes‘ matchup with Northwestern at noon and the Wolverines’ matchup with Rutgers at 7:30 p.m.

“RIVALS” tells the legendary history of The Game and looks at how Ohio State and Michigan formed the greatest rivalry in all of sport. The film also examines the psychology of a rivalry and the different attributes that make rivalries unique. The research and data presented in the documentary are based on findings from KnowRivalry.com, which set out to discover why humans are so enthralled with rivalries and what makes each rivalry unique.

Sinclair, the company behind the documentary, describes the two-hour feature like this:

RIVALS takes a comprehensive look back at the storied history between two of the top Division I football programs in NCAA history. Narrated by Academy Award-winning actor J.K. Simmons (who was born in Michigan but remains a rabid Ohio State fan), the show gleans the perspective of more than 30 others whose lives have been similarly impacted by the never-ending fight between the two schools. Among them are Archie Griffin, the only two-time Heisman Trophy winner; legendary players Dan Dierdorf and Keith Byars; broadcasters Rich Eisen and Joel Klatt; historians Jack Park and John Bacon; and veteran journalists from the Columbus, Ohio, and Ann Arbor, Michigan, markets, the homes of Ohio State and Michigan, respectively. The two-hour documentary reveals the science behind what makes a sports rivalry so compelling, how the matchup repeatedly delivers nail biting performances and why it has been historically revered as The Game.

And here's the trailer:



We received an advanced screening of the documentary at Eleven Warriors, and – while I can't speak for everyone here – I was locked in from about the five-minute mark until the credits rolled and the screen turned black. It was entertaining and insightful, and I believe it is a must-watch for even the most committed and passionate Ohio State fans.

The film premieres Saturday at 4 p.m. on Bally Sports Great Lakes and Bally Sports Ohio and 5 p.m. on Bally Sports Detroit. There will be many more opportunities to see it later in November as the documentary will reair on Bally Sports and the Tennis Channel. Eventually, the film will also land on the Big Ten Network, where it will premiere after The Game on Nov. 26. So if you would rather watch No. 1 Tennessee at No. 3 Georgia on Saturday – and I wouldn't blame you if you did – make sure to tune in later or record it for later viewing.
