The rivalry between Michigan and Ohio State is one that is deep and full of hatred on both sides. When these two teams face off in any sport, it is the biggest game of the season. In football season, this rivalry game, known as "The Game," is usually the biggest rivalry game played throughout the whole weekend, but Fox doesn't seem to think so.
Fox has been given the rights to The Game yet again this season, meaning only one thing. This game is most likely set to be played at Noon, even though it deserves a much better time slot. These teams have been trading blows for years, and with Michigan on a streak, they are winning four straight against the Buckeyes. This game is set to be even more electric and heated than ever before.
While game times have yet to be set for this game, it is only natural to assume a Noon kickoff is on the docket.
The Game is back on FOX 😤🌰〽️

The Game could be even more heated after last season's brawl on the field
Even though Michigan had one of the worst offenses in college football last season adn was at the end of their down season, the Wolverines pulled off a huge upset over the Buckeyes using their solid defense. Michigan walked away with the 13-10 win over the Buckeyes on their home field, and that is when all hell broke loose.
Michigan players chose to take their team flag and walk to the middle of the field and plant the flag, which really angered some Ohio State players, and a brawl broke out. The fight was so bad, police had to intervene, and pepper spray was even used on some players and coaches.
Flag planting has become bigger and bigger over the last few seasons, with many fights breaking out, but none bigger than the one between Michigan and Ohio State. This year, The Game will be played in the Big House, and Michigan will go for its fifth win in a row over the Buckeyes, avoiding any flag planting on its own field.
