My manager at work is a Michigan grad and I am a grad of THE Ohio State University. We've been talking about the upcoming game on Saturday all week. I agree it's a mostly friendly rivalry that must be over 100+ years old by now.

...and hopefully Woody and Bo will be able to watch this game together

I'd love to hear THAT post-game analysis.

Amazing, I didn't know that Bo was a THE Ohio State University grad.

Bite your tongue! Bo was a proud graduate of Miami of Ohio. My wife's alma mater.

Many of my friends from the Cincinnati suburbs went to Miami of Ohio. It's a great school.

My wife went to Miami but my mother-in-law went to OSU. She and my father-in-law are big time Buckeye fans while I've been a Michigan fan since Bo's earliest days. My proudest moment as a father was when I taught my 5 year old to pick out "Hail To The Victors" on the piano and then when grandma and grandpa came over I suggested she play her new song for them.

If you are still in Colorado like your profile says, then be glad you are there. Here in Columbus, the talk about the fans hating each other has been non-stop all week! It is so overplayed now. It's a rivalry, not a war-zone! I'm tired of OSU getting a bad rap for the actions of a few, and IMHO, it happens at pretty much every college football rivalry. Everyone should just go cheer for their team and stop taking swipes at the fans. The game is the one on the field, but the media has made a big outcry about the fans' behavior. I say, arrest the troublemakers (both sides), and let the rest of us enjoy the game!

This is the last thing OSU would have ever wanted. Michigan will no doubt win this in honor of BO. They know BO will come from the heavens and smack them if they dare to lose tomorrow.

Your Phuckeyes are about to learn what it's like to lose to a team from Heaven coached by GOD! :)

If OSU fans were like Democrats they would be moaning that 'the timing is suspect'.

RIP, Bo. This takes all the mystery out of the Big Game. Michigan will surely win now. Watch the officials throw a few calls Michigan's way.

Ironic, I detest Michigan and Ohio State but had the greatest respect for Bo Schembechler because at no time I ever saw the man act disrespectful or not like a gentleman. It was hard to dislike a team that had such a great coach; I guess I was envious he didn't coach at Tennessee or Texas A & M.

I am sure he will be watching the game from above because if he doesn't make it, many of us won't either. RIP.

Yes, Miami of Ohio, the Cradle of Coaches . . . and Dead End for Athletes. ;)

Hail to the Victors

Now for a cheer they are here, triumphant!
Here they come with banners flying,
In stalwart step they're nighing,
With shouts of vict'ry crying,
We hurrah, hurrah, we greet you now,
Hail!

Far we their praises sing
For the glory and fame they've bro't us
Loud let the bells them ring
For here they come with banners flying
Far we their praises tell
For the glory and fame they've bro't us
Loud let the bells them ring
For here they come with banners flying
Here they come, Hurrah!

Hail! to the victors valiant
Hail! to the conqu'ring heroes
Hail! Hail! to Michigan
the leaders and best
Hail! to the victors valiant
Hail! to the conqu'ring heroes
Hail! Hail! to Michigan,
the champions of the West!

We cheer them again
We cheer and cheer again
For Michigan, we cheer for Michigan
We cheer with might and main
We cheer, cheer, cheer
With might and main we cheer!

Hail! to the victors valiant
Hail! to the conqu'ring heroes
Hail! Hail! to Michigan,
the champions of the West!

And I am sure Bo will remind Woody that he was 5-4-1 against him.
