The Game is Here!

Heart of the Rivalry is a Blade-produced YouTube series and podcast that is available on all major platforms. The weekly college football show is led by The Blade’s sports columnist, David Briggs, and co-host/producer Phil Kaplan. This week, Krusty the Clown, Benjamin Stickney’s twin sons’ role in the Toledo War, Tim Biakabutuka, and Fiesta Brutus all make appearances in the most rivalry-test edition of the Heart of the Rivalry. That’s right, our purpose is upon us as Michigan travels to Ohio State for The Game. Dave questions the health in the rivalry more than the health of the rivalry. Phil has an unhealthy fondness for his old Ohio State hat. But everyone’s spirits are in good health for this early Thanksgiving platter of college football’s greatest rivalry. Stay tuned for a bonus YouTube Live show on Friday at 3 p.m. from the Rally of the Rivals downtown at Fleetwood’s. All that and more will come from your new favorite college football show — the only one to cover exclusively the rivalry programs of Ohio State and Michigan, Bowling Green, and Toledo.
