It’s rivalry week.

That means Ohio State is playing Michigan. It’s time for “The Game.”

Just before the Buckeyes take on the Wolverines each year, though, there is smack talk. And it’s not just a one-sided thing. Both teams talk smack, and rightfully so.

There is pure hatred between the two sides.

Back from 2005-08, James Laurinaitis played LB at Ohio State. He went on to have a successful NFL career. But before playing professionally, he had to play the Wolverines four times.

How many times did his Buckeyes win?

All four of those games:

The keychains are pretty sweet. They show the year and score, and are unique.

If the 2018 Buckeyes are lucky — and good — enough, they’ll have a keychain of their own to show off for life.

Kickoff between Ohio State and Michigan is set for noon on Saturday at Ohio Stadium. The game will be televised on FOX.
