College Football: Potential thrillers on rivalry weekend; Starts with #2 Ohio State vs. #3 Michigan
By David J. Halberstam 11/23/2022
Unless it’s a national team or one with great heritage, college football is still considered a regional game. This Saturday, you’ll have a string of TV matchups of significance, be they of either regional or national consequence.
Rookie against veteran on-the-air Saturday at high noon. It could be one that’ll go down in the annals.
The Buckeyes at #2 and the Wolverines at #3. Gus Johnson of Fox’ will shout us weak, I’m sure. Radio is interesting. Doug Karsch is doing his first Michigan-Ohio State game and is pumped, of course. Ohio State has the esteemed Paul Keels on the call. “Michigan vs. Ohio State just was built up to this mythical sort of proportion,” Karsch told Barrett Sports Media.
It’s rivalry weekend followed by dyed-in-the wool fans. Millions of fans glued, compelled by decades of competition.
