Michigan and Ohio are neighbors, which would suggest that they’re very similar and that, perhaps as neighbors, they should get along. But the reality is, the two states have a deeply-rooted rivalry that mostly focuses on the college sports teams, U of M and Ohio State. But there’s more to it than that. We’re here to show you just how much better Michigan is than Ohio.
- Michigan versus Ohio State is one of the biggest rivalries in all of sports…
Michael Barera … and Michigan leads the all-time series 57-41-6.
- Michigan is shaped like a snug mitten…

- Michigan’s music has influenced American pop culture forever and ever.

- Michigan doesn’t have to lie on its license plate.
Ohio claims to be the birthplace of aviation, but the reality is that aviation was born in North Carolina. The Wright Brothers were simply born in Ohio (and left for good reason).
