Rivalries. In college football they mean almost as much as a National Championship. Maybe not to the team themselves but fans love to boast about how their team fared against their most hated rivals. When Oklahoma fails in the college football playoffs, Texas takes almost as much pride in trash talking as the team that actually won the game.
The same can be said for one of the biggest rivalries in all of college sports, Michigan-Ohio State. These two iconic programs absolutely can’t stand each other. Ohio State refers to Michigan to that team up north. They won’t even write the letter “m” when referring to them. They will put the letter “x” in place of the “m”.
With the Big Ten Conference punting on the season, fans of both schools left with no team to cheer for on Saturdays. So in a attempt to find some solace, Longhorns Wire has put together a rooting guide for both Michigan and Ohio State fans. Much like their own hatred, they can join in on the Texas-Oklahoma Red River Rivalry.
