The biggest college football game in decades is on today, as the No. 1 ranked OSU Buckeyes take on the No. 2 rated Michigan Wolverines, the winner being guaranteed a berth in the championship game. Both teams go into today's match undefeated, and is the first time they will play as the top two contenders. The rivalry between these two teams is intense, it was recently voted the greatest grudge match in American sports, and extra poignancy will be added this evening after Bo Schembechler's death yesterday, the man considered to be Michigans greatest ever coach. Comparisons of the rivalry are Real Madrid v Barcelona, Celtic v Rangers and Euro Elite v JMF. Michigan start the game slight underdogs, but will be hoping the countrys meanest defence, featuring LaMarr Woodley, Alan Branch, Terrance Taylor and Rondell Biggs/Tim Jamison, upset the Buckeyes rhythm. Ohio State QB Troy Smith will be looking to find favoured wideouts Ted Ginn Jr. and Anthony Gonzalez to defeat the Wolverines.
The game will be played out at the Ohio Stadium, a.k.a the Horseshoe, in front of a sell out 101,568 fans. Tickets will be scarce as the Buckeyes have sold out every home game since 1975. I will be watching the game with big Frank, unfortunately it is only available on NASN, a subscription channel on satellite/cable. We will be hoping the Buckeyes stuff the JMF like Wolverines, GO BUCKEYES!!
