Ohio State-Michigan is one day away. The hatred is alive and well. Nothing has changed over the years.
From 1993-96, Jarrett Irons was a linebacker for the Michigan Wolverines. He was eventually a captain at Michigan and was an All-American during his final season.

Even back then, the hatred was strong. Here’s Irons on what he thinks of when he hears the words, “Ohio State.”
