You love the Wolverines.

Author Rich Thomaselli reached out to former and current teammates, coaches, media, and hardcore fans and asked them to weigh in on the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry, sharing the stories that shaped their opinion of the two programs.  The result is an entertaining, eye-opening flip-book that takes a look at one of college football's greatest rivalries that take the field every November. 

 

When these two hated rivals go head-to-head, the entire sports world is always watching.  I Love Michigan/I Hate Ohio State will show you once and for all why you made the right choice.  And why you should love Bo Schembechler and hate Jim Tressel. And which school has the best jobs waiting for them after graduation.


About the author:

Rich Thomaselli celebrated his 25th year as a sports journalist on June 24, 2011, and is a nine-time writing award winner. He did not graduate from the University of Michigan but adopted the Wolverines at an early age as his favorite college team and then had the great fortune to later spend four years at the Ann Arbor News, covering U-M football and basketball.
