First, OSU and Michigan are two great football programs with tons of tradition and fans

Also:

During 1835 and 1836, the State of Ohio and the Michigan Territory engaged in a brief and bloodless border dispute known as the Toledo War. Some have proposed that the football rivalry is a modern manifestation of this historical tension

I don't get why they call the Toledo War the basis. If anything, that would make more sense if it were a UT VS UM rivalry.

UM = Dominant school in Michigan

OSU= Dominant school in Ohio

Thames9 · Braxton Miller

The schools just formed a hatred for each other, and the rivalry really got going during the 10 year war between Bo and Woody.

The University of Ohio gave the buckeyes a good game this past season if I remember right, but I do get your point. Does OSU hate MSU as much as UM or no?

o ok, did woody hayes get fired for hitting a player or am I wrong?

Thames9 · Braxton Miller

No, we don't hate MSU as much as we hate Michigan. The only team that OSU realllllly hates is Michigan. Though the Big 10 started to institute a rivalry between us and PSU. Nothing equals an OSU/Michigan game!

Admin · Luke Fickell

Woody Hayes was fired in 1978 after having a temper tantrum during the Gator Bowl against Clemson and striking a Clemson linebacker named Charlie Bauman after intercepting a pass to clinch the game for the Tigers as well as two of his own players. Ohio State was embarrassed, and they had no choice but to immediately fire Woody Hayes. The man who was so famous for his temper would lose his job because of it.

Well, to you an FSU/Florida game is the best. OSU/Michigan is the best rivalry in college football.

No Florida State Vs Florida is the best rivalary in College Football period. As its state braging rights and so much are on the line. Also Georigia vs Florida is pretty dam good rivalry in college football also.

Thames9 · Braxton Miller

See, people differ on what the best CFB rivalry is by the region they live in.

When was the last good FSU/Florida game?

yeah I guess thats true but this rivlary clear is one of the best if not the best

northtexasisrockdoo · Braxton Miller

They're rivalries, do you really need to argue about them?

If so, Tulsa vs Rice is the best.

Admin · Luke Fickell

You can't say one rivalry is the best. Since I am OSU biased, I will say OSU - UM is the best.

RJINTAMPA · Rory Nicol

yeah that is true just everyone is BIAS towards their favorite team case settled. Is the Ohio Bobcats game a big time event an Ohio or no?

If you read this, put a yawning smily in your next post.

They are in the MAC, so no. The only BIG college football games in Ohio are OSU games

TigerStripe · Fast Dane

I'd have to say Ohio State games are even bigger than the pro games in the state of Ohio.

Thames9 · Braxton Miller

Yep. Evidence of that is the almost 100,000 fans who showed up for the Spring Game!

Frankly no pro teams in Ohio are very good, except for the Cavaliers.

Admin · Luke Fickell

Yep. Ohio's best sports teams are OSU and the Cavs

TigerStripe · Fast Dane

I don't think even a professional team like the Cleveland Cavaliers draw as much as Ohio State football (or even Ohio State athletics, in general).

Admin · Luke Fickell

Ohio State football is HUGE! It's a must to go to a game in the Shoe if you are in Columbus.

Ohio State basketball is big too, but other than football and basketball, no one cares about other OSU sports

did i tell you i broke into the shoe on friday
