Heart of the Rivalry: Mid-Term Grades In Already

Heart of the Rivalry is a Blade-produced YouTube series and podcast available on all major platforms that covers the heart of college football through the sport’s own treasured programs of Ohio State, Michigan, Toledo, and Bowling Green.

The weekly show is led by The Blade’s sports columnist, David Briggs, with co-host/producer Phil Kaplan.

This week, we give out mid-term grades.

Dave is dismissive of Wolverine and Buckeye future foes, accepting of BG’s woes, and TBD on whether Toledo has its ducks in a row. 

Phil is a forgiving instructor, but there’s an increasing amount of evidence of grade inflation for favorites. 

Cameo conversations run the gamut of Guardians vs. Tigers, the Lions and the team they played that claims to be professionals out of Cleveland, and a surprising like-to-like comparison of Phil’s accomplishments compared to Eddie George’s. 

All that and more from Heart of the Rivalry, the only show to cover exclusively the rivalry programs of Bowling Green and Toledo, as well as Michigan and Ohio State.
