Several former Ohio State football players made headlines recently by proclaiming their ownership of their rival, the University of Michigan. In a recent video shared on social media, former Buckeyes star players such as Cris Carter and Eddie George confidently asserted that they “own” Michigan.
This bold statement is not without merit, as Ohio State has dominated the rivalry with Michigan in recent years. The Buckeyes have won the last eight matchups against the Wolverines, with their most recent victory coming in a 56-27 drubbing in November 2019.
The video, which was shared by the popular sports media outlet The Spun, features several former Ohio State players expressing their confidence and pride in their team’s success against Michigan. In addition to Carter and George, former Buckeyes such as Beanie Wells and James Laurinaitis also appear in the video, each taking turns to reiterate their ownership of their rivals.
This brazen display of confidence is sure to rile up Michigan fans, who have eagerly awaited a chance to reclaim bragging rights in the rivalry. While the Wolverines have historically been a powerhouse in college football, they have struggled to compete with Ohio State in recent years.
As the two teams gear up for their next showdown, which is scheduled for November 27, 2021, Ohio State’s former stars are making it clear that they have no intention of relinquishing their hold on the rivalry. With the Buckeyes’ dominance in recent years, it’s not hard to see why they are feeling confident about their chances of continuing their winning streak against Michigan.
