The Buckeye and the Wolverine: A Tale of Triumph and Tears (Mostly Tears for Michigan Fans)
Ah, the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry. A clash of titans, a battle for bragging rights, a time-honored tradition of shattering hearts (mostly in Ann Arbor). But let's cut to the chase, because you, my friend, want to know one thing: just how many times has Ohio State beaten that pesky team up north?
Well, buckle up for a stat-tastic ride! The Buckeyes currently hold the lead in the all-time series record with a respectable 51 wins to Michigan's 61. Ouch. That stings a bit, doesn't it Wolverines? But hey, at least you can say you won the most recent one... for now (cue evil Buckeye laughter).
QuickTip: Pay close attention to transitions.
Let's Dig a Little Deeper: Who Dominated When?
Tip: Patience makes reading smoother.
- Early Bird Gets the Worm (and the Win): Back in the day, Michigan ruled the roost. They started off the rivalry with a dominating 9-game winning streak (someone dust off those old shoulder pads).
- The Buckeyes Fight Back: But fear not, scarlet and gray faithful! The tide started to turn in the latter half of the 20th century. Ohio State had a legendary run under Coach Woody Hayes, putting the Wolverines in their place more often than not.
- The 21st Century: A Buckeye Bonanza? Fast forward to today, and things are looking pretty good for Ohio State. They've enjoyed a period of dominance, particularly between 2012 and 2019, winning a whopping 7 games in a row. Take that, Wolverines!
Important Side Note: It wouldn't be a proper rivalry without a little controversy, would it? There's a vacated win for Ohio State in 2010 thanks to some NCAA shenanigans, but that's a story for another day.
Tip: Focus on clarity, not speed.

So, there you have it! Ohio State might be slightly ahead, but this rivalry is far from over. Every year, these two teams bring their A-game, and the fight for bragging rights (and national championships) continues.
Tip: Look out for transitions like ‘however’ or ‘but’.
