Amid the hustle and bustle of Thanksgiving preparations, from parades to travel, Michiganders are preparing for one thing that transcends turkey and stuffing—The Game. With kickoff set for Noon on Saturday in Ann Arbor, the city is buzzing with anticipation. Local 4’s Jason Colthorp visited the campus this week, capturing the electric atmosphere that signals the arrival of this long-standing rivalry.
For many, the week is filled with holiday cheer, yet at the heart of it lies the deep-seated rivalry between the University of Michigan and Ohio State University. As fans don their maize and blue, there’s a palpable sense of excitement in the air, not to mention a bit of friendly trash talk. Colthorp’s visit highlights the spirit of competition that defines this moment every year—after all, who doesn’t love a good rivalry?
As we gather around family tables this week, the debate about water chestnuts in stuffing may cause a stir, but nothing stirs the pot quite like the prospect of Buckeye tears. The local community is gearing up, with fans preparing their game day snacks and donning team colors, all while whispering unforgettable memories of last-minute wins and heated moments on the field.
So, mark your calendars! This Saturday, as the maize and blue charge onto the field, residents of Ann Arbor will be united—not just in their love for the Wolverines but in the joy, rivalry, and pride this game brings, ensuring that Thanksgiving week is one for the ages.
