This is why college football is as big as it is here in the US. Professional football has NOTHING on college football when it comes to tradition and the sense of community. I love it because it allows a lot of these amateur players who’ll never make it to the pros a chance to experience that kind of atmosphere and share it with their families and communities. Most college football players will finish their education and go on to live normal lives but they can always look back on their college football days as that final portion of their lives where they were still athletes and possibly contributed to something special for their schools and cities.

@@OpusWon true but for every Bears v Packers in the NFL you have Ohio State-Michigan, Army-Navy, Texas-Oklahoma, Auburn-Alabama etc. Not saying NFL doesn’t have tradition but it doesnt have anything near the nationwide reach that college does. And college also does this for smaller towns and cities that otherwise wouldn’t have something to root for and that’s what makes it more special imo.

One of my favorite campus traditions at Ohio state is the students go around the entire campus and tape red 'X's over every M. Street signs, building names, class rooms, potholes serial numbers you name it they are very thorough. After the game is over they all come down, or at least the ones you don't need a ladder to get to.

Native Michigander and UofM alum here. As I understand it, there actually was a brief "war" and the feds did indeed step in. Since OH was a state and MI was still just a territory, the feds sided with OH but gave MI the upper peninsula as some sort of consolation prize -- thereby screwing WI (which was not yet a territory) in the process. Or so the story goes.

At one point the UP supplied nearly all of the copper used in the US. To be fair, Ohio didn't know about the scar running across the UP and down into the lower peninsula... but they absolutely took an L giving up trillions and trillions in rare metals. Copper has been mined on and off for over 7,000 years in the UP (Isle Royale has very old primitive mining settlements from the indigenous people)

Another good rivalry game is Oklahoma - Texas, played on the “neutral” field in Dallas at the Cotton Bowl. Almost equidistant between the two schools, the stadium is split at the 50-yard line with more or less an equal number of fans in each half of the bowl. It is also at the State Fair of Texas so there’s a festival atmosphere always. Back in the day, the night before the area in Dallas at Commerce and Main would be closed off as fans got lubed up and often very rowdy. Lots would be arrested, but in the morning if sober and unless they were charged with something serious, they would be released in time for the game.

Keep in mind that a lot of the kids grow up in the same state as the college teams they play for. So people in that state have followed their football "careers" for several years before they enter college. Also, the pressure to play for their local college can be intense. Some kids have received death threats for not joining the local college team, or leaving the state to play college football. And of course, money, jobs, and girls are always part of the recruitment package for the best players.

Idk why but this video always gets to me. I think for college football it just means more than another rivalry. The sheer history, both teams are historically good, it makes or breaks the season. 100k + people at the game. Nothing like it

The band follows the team, even to the Big House in Ann Arbor. The team's band offers support, plays the fight song. So yeah, typically, at least big schools, the bands always follow along.

Both bands are at each game

We have a similar rivalry in Texas called the “red river rivalry” between the Oklahoma Sooners and the Texas Longhorns at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. Once October 9th comes around like clockwork you can almost guarantee people aren’t showing up to work the next day especially if TX wins.

Grew up with this rivalry on the Michigan side. Attended UofM myself (my parents both graduated from there and my grandpa was a Dean there for some time). Tickets to this game are crazy expensive and if you are a season ticket holder you can often make all of your money back by selling that one ticket (but the last few years, I don't think many are willing to miss the game).

I’ll be attending the University of Georgia vs Auburn University in Athens, GA (about an hour from Atlanta) and would love to have you join! The stadium holds 94,000 and it will definitely be filled to capacity. The game is called “the deep south’s oldest rivalry” and is the 2nd longest rivalry game in the country.

This was a good video. I truly enjoyed this! 😀

Great behind the scenes look, really lets you inside. Very well done.

Another HUGE college rivalry game is The Army-Navy Game. I went to a couple of them when I was a kid and my cousin was a cadet at the USMA.

Another thing we Ohio state buckeyes don’t say the word Michigan that week, we call them the team up north “TTUN” and we put tape over every single M on the campus, on everything, road signs, business signs, car license plates, EVERYTHING!

This is an HBO show. I want to point out that they were the biggest showcase of boxing. They made a 25 years of boxing that was awesome. It was incredible actually

THE Ohio State Vs. Michigan rivalry is traced back to when Ohio and Michigan were going to war over Toledo. I actually never knew about that until earlier this year when I found out.

That banner of 40Cassady is for the 1955 Heisman Trophy winner Howard "Hop-A-Long" Cassady, he was my Dad's cousin so that made him my second cousin, and was one of the nicest men I would ever know, I have a couple signed #40 OSU Cassady Jerseys that he gave me, told me I could do what I wanted with them sell them or whatever, I don't need two of them but I can't find it in myself to ever sell either one of them...

duke and north carolina are playing in the final 4 saturday and they are 9.8 miles apart. that’s probably the biggest rivalry in college sports because of the proximity

The OSU marching band and UMich marching band travel to each other for the away game. This year it was OSU at UM so OSU performed their pregame show at halftime and UM performed their halftime show. The MMB travels away only to OSU, MSU, and ND.

As a PA native that grew up in AZ, the biggest college football game I've ever been to was the 1997 Fiesta Bowl with Penn State vs Texas. Never been to an ASU/U of A rivalry. Never seen Michigan OR Ohio State play live

All of college football conference games rotate where they're played each year, for this one it's in Michigan every odd year and Ohio every even year. Both bands are usually at every game home and away

It is a great rivalry. If you go to the grocery store here in Ohio even in my small town of about 2000… The grocery store will be packed if you go there in the morning with everybody getting everything they want for the game. The game starts at noon. If you go back to the grocery store at 11:30 AM? It’s a ghost town.

The two schools are "only" about 200 miles apart, but the states of Ohio and Michigan are zero miles apart. They share a border, which almost 200 years ago they disputed and were prepared to fight over for real. A compromise was reached, but the rivalry remains.

Another great rivalry you should check out is the in state rivalry between Auburn and Alabama. Their regular season game every year is called the Iron Bowl and it's been known to tear families apart

That video is great. Both bands play at the game and the location does alternate between schools. When I was at OSU, I lived in the dorm IN the stadium... a dream come true. If you want to go to a big college game, this is THE biggest. The tickets are a hot commodity every year. O-H!

I’m not Ohio St. fan but growing up in Ohio this rivalry is so important to the people of Ohio and Michigan. I’m actually University of North Carolina (I was born in NC) and our rivalry with Duke is just as big when it comes to college basketball. The best way to describe these rivalries reminds me of a book about UNC-Duke called To Hate Like This is To Be Happy Forever. I dislike my rivals so much but the sense of joy I get when we beat them is unmatched. Go Heels!!! Go to hell Duke.

Both bands attend each game.

4:22 for most games you’re right but for this game they do have both bands there every year

I figured if there was ANYONE who could understand this, it would be our British cousins. Thank you for not treating this as, “silly.” The Game is one of the few defining aspects of being from the Midwest. L.A. and New York can have their glamor but these institutions are the cultural pivot that provide us with our orbits of cultural and geographic tradition. It’s a game… but it’s not a joke. I’m now in the south but don’t think for a moment-when I see a Michigan sweatshirt on some pedestrian going by… 400 miles away from the field of battle-I don’t scream, “Go Bucks” because I will. And I’m almost 40 years removed from my college days 😉 Cheers, mates

Apple Bowl in Washington, Territorial Cup in Arizona, UCLA and USC in California. I could go on... and yes, marching bands do have rivalries. Basketball - I'm an Arizona fan, but North Carolina and Duke are gonna play in semifinals. If there's a derby in America...

Both marching bands are at the game! And from what I know and have seen. They’re actually decent friends. 😂😂

Born and raised in Ohio. Every job and school has Ohio State, Michigan day where you rep your team and wear shirts and jerseys for the team you are going for. I live right by the border. And yeah I Lowkey got emotional watching it 😩. Big Ohio State fan here

Since youve watched this you have to watch one ofthe highlights to these games i recommend the 2021 game crowd was insane over 111,000 in attendance.

I think that was an ad you might see in any given year when the rivalry is about to begin. That's what it felt like anyway. I'm sure there is a video of similar length that demonstrates how many times each team has killed a legitimate title chance for the other, or the "mere" victory of winning the division. A brief explanation of "The Ten Year War" FFS. Something better than that clap trap. Not that I'm going to F'ing look it up. I don't want the heat of choosing the wrong video. Anyway, love you guys.

To answer Office Bloke Mike's question: some of the football rivalries aren't called rivalries. They are called the Battle of/For something. Or in the case of Alabama vs. Tennessee. That game is known as the The Third Saturday in October because that is when it is played. But games like Texas vs Oklahoma are called the Red River Rivalry so it just varies. I hope this helps. Office Bloke Daz if you want USC vs UCLA is a big So Cal rivalry if you ever want to come let me know and I can get tickets for you to go

double post. i apologize for that. but upon re-re-watch 3:14 ... when the OBs see the stadium and take a breath... I appreciated that moment. I'm grateful. I know we can be arses. But theres something about sport that just transcends the normal BS we throw at each other every day.

I could never figure out what the big deal with this Rivalry was- now I know. Both of their Stadiums seat 80k+ fans. From my understanding, these games sell out pretty much as soon as they go on sale. BTW Blokes- Tom Brady played for Michigan, if memory serves correctly.

Both sradiums are over 100k, with the Big House being the larger of the two

Georgia VS Florida is good one. I was born in Ohio so this rivalry I ALWAYS watch. I live in Ga now so all I hear is how the northern conferences don't compare to SEC teams. I can tell you there's been an odd shift where SEC teams were always much more physical and played a more hardened ground game and northern teams were more technical but utilized their QT's arm. Now there's quite a mix of both in every conference.

Nothing beats THE GAME when everything is on the line for both schools! The iron bowl is good as is the red river showdown or fsu v Miami. But rarely do these rivalries have the implications THE GAME has had historically. The thing that makes the iron bowl so big is that the entire state of Alabama loses their freaking poop. The Ohio michigan war often pulls most of the big ten into it with half hating a good michigan team and most everyone hating ohio st. Plus this last Nov, nearly 16 million people tuned into fox to watch the game, probably more since that may not account for all the people watching bars and restaurants. If you ever make it to a michigan game and it's not ohio st., it needs to be michigan st and the battle for Paul bunyan.

The marching bands actually do travel for the game, so they’re both there.

The thing with the Ohio st Michigan rivalry it’s the last regular season game of the year and you only play them once a year so when you lose you have to live with that for an entire year until you play them again

If you want to get the full college football atmosphere, I'd do one of the following: OSU vs Michigan OSU vs Penn State ND vs USC (if the game is at ND) Auburn vs Alabama LSU vs Alabama Oklahoma vs Texas Georgie vs Florida There's obviously other games out there, but these are the biggest stadiums, the most iconic teams, and the craziest crowds. Notre Dame is coming to Columbus to play OSU this year (and vice versa next year). They are two icons of CFB that rarely ever play each other, especially in their home stadiums, so that could also be an interesting one.

I grew up in a diehard Fighting Irish household, and my dad hated the Michigan Wolverines with a passion. I remember watching him on game days pace around the living room, smoking his pipe and holding his Blue & Gold magazine crumpled up in his hand. He’s gone now, but I have inherited his Fighting Irish anxiety, and also hate the Wolverines. I have to. It’s a family tradition. There’s an amazing short documentary about the rivalry between Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Michigan Wolverines. It’s pure hatred on both sides! It truly would be so awesome if you watched it. It’s called “Onward Notre Dame: The Michigan Rivalry”. Come on guys…give it a look. Please! 😀

@@johndessoye We went to the Stanford/ Notre Dame game this past season. The majority of Stanford’s stadium was filled with Notre Dame fans. Irish fans are truly the best! (In my humble opinion. I don’t want a bunch of ND haters yelling at me in all CAPS). Honestly, there’s just nothing better than college football with all its rivalries and traditions, and the ND/Michigan rivalry goes back to the 1880’s.

@@johanna0131 I was at the last game of the old Stanford Stadium. Brady Quinn won the game and i was allowed to take a piece of the field. MAGICAL! Shoutout to Matt and NIkki who were at the game with me. We rocked the stands!

@@johndessoye That’s awesome! I loved the Brady Quinn/Jeff Samardzija days! Still smarting from Coach Kelly’s abrupt departure, but hoping that Marcus Freeman is going to do well for them.

I HATE ND almost as much as ohio.

Both bands usually play at every game unless there is a reason why they can't make it. That is the norm for most college and even high school football games. at halftime the Away team band preforms first, then the Home band and both play in the stands in between plays.

College rivalries is awesome....the hate...the respect.....etc

Watch a game at Michigan. The stadium is the biggest in the country. I saw a game a few years back, its amazing

You know how to get to OSU from Ann Arbor? Go south until you smell it, go east until you step in it. GO BLUE!!

You're probably tired of OSU stuff at this point, but the 24 minute video Relive the 2014 Championship Season is a tearjerker of a video if you need something to watch. OSU loses their first string QB, then they lose big early in the season, then they lose their 2nd string QB, then a teammate kills himself, and still they go on to go 59-0 against a great Wisconsin team, beat #1 Alabama in a game no one thought they had a chance in, then finish it off with a win over #2 Oregon, all with their 3rd string QB and the world against them. And most of the players in all the final games went on to be big time NFL players.

Come to Texas in early October for Texas vs Oklahoma at the Texas State Fair!!
