In honor of the Game — played this year on November 29, 2014 — the Ohio State Medical Center has swaddled what I can only imagine is row after row of newborns in ‘Beat Michigan’ swaddles. IT IS NOT THAT SERIOUS.

Ohio State is looking to uphold their spot as the reigning victors in this annual rivalry; although Michigan ultimately holds the rivalry record (58-45-6), Ohio State took home the win last November in a photo-finish 42-41 victory.
