Beat Michigan Week 2006
ESPN has called the Ohio State/Michigan game the greatest rivalry in sports history--and for good reason. The competition is so fierce that some historians think it's a carryover of the Toledo War, a 19th century boundary dispute between the states of Ohio and Michigan. The teams have played since 1897--once, in a Horseshoe so snowy the game was nicknamed the "Snow Bowl."
Enjoy being part of the action this week, with activities ranging from a cornhole tournament. While the team takes care of matters on the field, you can do your part: Give blood, register as an organ donor, and help show Michigan that we have the Best Fans in the Land.
