The Day Breakers, how Michigan's maize 'n' blues continue for Buckeyes

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, the examination begins in earnest. The famous Ohio State marching band song, “I wanna go back to OhioState,” has always claimed in lyric, “We'll win the game or know the reason why!”

Well we’ve got reasons, kids. 

Lou Holtz, Jim Harbaugh, Jason Candle, and John Cooper all seem to have the upper hand on Ryan Day, at least this week, according to Briggs. 

Phil accepts Toledo’s re-assignment to Michigan... again, but at least no one was pepper sprayed. 

All that and more will 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.
