One of the storm’s classic stories involved the Big Ten football championship between Michigan and Ohio State that was scheduled to take place in Columbus, Ohio, on Saturday, November 25. Fifty thousand spectators (of the 82,000 tickets sold) watched the kickoff in heavy snow, 40-mph winds, and a temperature of 5°. The Snow Bowl or Blizzard Bowl, as it came to be known, saw Michigan prevail 9-3 even though they didn’t achieve a single first down and only progressed 27 yards. There were 45 punts in the 60 minutes of playing time.

Bruce, having been born and raised in Columbus I've attended a couple episodes of The Game. I wish I could have been there yesterday!
