The Big House, a big crowd on edge
When I was little, the Michigan-Ohio St. game was everything. It was The Game.
102 meetings in, and closing out another decade, I took an e-trip home, down nine years of memory lane (and then some).#TheGame #Wolverines #Buckeyes

Michigan Stadium is an iconic venue to be sure. But it’s also a venue known to be a rather tame atmosphere until something positive for the home team happens.
You can throw that out the window in this one.
The Michigan faithful are tired of hearing about Ohio State. They’re tired of losing to a team whose fanbase is quick to rub their noses in every single defeat. They’re tired of being the brunt of jokes, and this extremely hostile and pro-Michigan crowd is going to make life very difficult on the Buckeyes’ communication.
It’ll also give that added boost of adrenaline and emotion to a team trying to make its season matter after expectations were shattered early on. This is going to be one crazy and wild atmosphere in Ann Arbor Saturday.
