Heart of the Rivalry: Unbubbled, thriving

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.

In this episode, bubbles are poppin like the pads in the Autumn wind. 

MACtion returns to the Glass Bowl for a transcendent preter-football Toledo experience, Dave is there. Phil returns to Ohio State to witness bubble-on-bystander assault against Penn State, Dave is there. Eddie George shakes up his Falcons coaching staff, Dave is there. Michigan wheezes past Purdue but still looks to face Ohio State with only two losses, Dave is not there for it. Can Northwestern get a second coach fired?

Cameos include a freak Division V high school soccer goal, Ronnie Lott, regional statehood history, Troy Smith’s training regimen, and a self proclaimed “one-man-whiteout.”

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.
