LOOK: Ohio State’s Twitter page is already prepared for rivalry week
Published:
As soon as the game against Illinois was in the books, Ohio State turned its attention toward Michigan. Or, should we say, “That Team Up North?”
The Buckeyes posted a convincing 52-14 win over the Fighting Illini on Saturday afternoon in Columbus for the final home game of the season. The win propelled OSU to a 9-2 record and guaranteed its spot in the B1G Championship Game on Dec. 2. But before Urban Meyer and Co. fight for another conference title, they’ll head to Ann Arbor to battle the Wolverines.
To show that the Buckeyes are fully in “hate” mode, the official Twitter account of Ohio State football blocked out the letter “M” from every word in the profile description. Every “M” has been replaced with a red “X.”
Ohio State’s Twitter account has made this change every season over the last few years, but that doesn’t mean it gets any less entertaining. It serves as a reminder of just how fierce this rivalry is on and off the field.
Next Saturday, the Buckeyes (9-2) travel to Ann Arbor to battle Michigan (8-3). Ohio State has won the last five meetings in the series.
