This week in Michigan Football History Ohio State

Good morning, and Go Blue! Today we renew the greatest rivalry in sports, as once again we face the Buckeyes, this time down in Columbus. While Michigan has had different teams that we'd consider our number one rivals over our 145 years of pigskin prowess, make no mistake that from Ohio's perspective, it has always been about that team up north. So it's no surprise that Michigan figures deep in many of Ohio State's traditions. Consider that, in 1902, after witnessing Fielding Yost's crew pound his Buckeyes 86-0 in Ann Arbor, a teary-eyed Ohio State freshman named Francis Cornell wrote the words to Carmen Ohio, the OSU alma mater, on that sad train ride home.
