I’ll make a pick later this week but you want to know how good this rivalry is? It dictates when I put up my Christmas decorations, and I don’t have a dog in the fight.
In fairness, it isn’t just this game but rivalry weekend in general. But Ohio St-Michigan is the highlight of rivalry weekend. In 2006, we put up Christmas decorations and I bitched and complained because decorating was hindering my watching of The Game and she bitched and complained because The Game was hindering my Christmas decorating.
I now plan that around rivalry weekend and have for many years.
