The Ohio State University/University of Michigan rivalry in football began with their first game in 1897.
UM won that game 34 to 0 and dominated the series until 1919. That year the tables were turned and the Buckeyes won 13 to 3.
The Ohio State/Michigan game has always been important, but it was not always the last game of the season.

This practice began in 1935 and, except for one year, the tradition has continued. Often the game has determined who is the winner of the Big Ten and who will represent the conference in the Rose Bowl.
The Ohio State and Michigan rivalry is a big deal in our family.Jonathan comes from an era when Michigan would stomp on Ohio State. All through high school he was a Michigan fan. Even through their many years in a "dry spell", he has remained loyal.
Kyle decided years ago that he was a Michigan fan and has been an avid supporter ever since (even with my threats of needing to find another place to live :)
On the other hand, I grew up in an Ohio State family. My blood runs red and gray! This year we thought it would be fun to get everyone their own "spirit" wear and have a friendly rivalry between teams
