The <br />Hall of Fame's new exhibit: "The Bucks and the Blue: Ohio State versus Michigan, <br />College Football's Greatest Rivalry," features the University of Michigan - Ohio State <br />University rivalry. <br /> <br />  <br /> <br /> Kent Stephens, College Football Hall of Fame Curator, developed this exhibit to <br />highlight one of the most historical and ruthless rivalries in college football. <br /> <br />"Beginning with the Toledo War of 1835, the states of Michigan and Ohio have had <br />contemptuous relations since before the Wolverine State was admitted into the Union.  Is <br />it any wonder that the rivalry between Ohio State and Michigan would be judged by a <br />consensus of experts as not only the greatest rivalry in college football but also perhaps in <br />all of sport?" Stephens said. <br /> <br /> <br />file://C:\Documents and Settings\bcummins\Local Settings\Temp\XPgrpwise\49D35380SO...4/2/2009 <br /> <br />
