The Ohio State-Michigan rivalry is legendary, spanning generations and crossing state lines. But one Wolverines supporter proved that no distance is too far when it comes to showing disdain for the Buckeyes.
Outside Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium ahead of Saturday's clash between Texas and Ohio State, a Michigan fan was spotted in the sweltering Texas heat wearing a shirt that read: "Destroy Ohio State Please and Thank You. – Michigan."
That's dedication to hate-watching taken to a whole new level.
Fans on social media quickly applauded the Wolverines fan for their commitment. One user wrote, "The most expensive hate watch ever. Respect." Another added, "After what happened in Ann Arbor today I’m sure he’s getting treated like a king in Austin!!"
Michigan had just beaten Oklahoma earlier in the day, and the Longhorns faithful were likely more than happy to welcome a fellow Sooner-slayer. As one fan put it, "No days off in the greatest rivalry in sports!"
Even rival fans joined in the appreciation. An A&M supporter commented, "Respect for the hate watch. As an A&M fan I also am watching to see horns get sawn off."
Michigan is now 2-0 after their convincing win over Oklahoma, though their season opener against Western Michigan was less impressive. Meanwhile, Ohio State rolled past Ball State but faces one of their toughest road tests in over a year against Arch Manning and the Longhorns.
Nothing would make Michigan fans happier than seeing Ohio State stumble, and this fan made that sentiment crystal clear.
