A Rivalry Renewed
TheBuckeyeBattleCry.com

Nine wins, one loss.

That was Jim Tressel's record against that school up north. No coach in the storied history of Ohio State football was so successful against Michigan before, and no coach will likely be that successful again.

As enjoyable as it is to reflect on those numbers, for good or bad, Tressel?s days on Ohio State?s sideline are over and a new chapter in the rivalry is about to begin.

The first game of this chapter will feature two new head coaches on the sidelines for the first time since 1929.

The coaches may be new, but Luke Fickell and Brady Hoke each have deep roots with their respective programs and an understanding of The Game that outsiders just can?t comprehend.

Under their leadership, the bad blood between the two teams is currently boiling, and I can't recall looking forward to The Game with so much anticipation this early in the season in my lifetime.

After several seasons of lackluster excitement that came from expecting to crush Rich Rodriguez's pathetic squads, what follows is an in-depth look at why we will witness a revival of the intensity that has defined the greatest rivalry in sports for over 100 years.
