Tim May, John U. Bacon set scene for historic top-five rivalry clash

COLUMBUS — Ohio State went on the road and beat Maryland on Saturday. But that game is squarely in the rearview mirror.

Now the Buckeyes are in rivalry mode, turning their full focus to The Game as they prepare to welcome Michigan for top-five rivalry matchup.

Tim May has been around the rivalry for years. He knows a thing or two about the annual Ohio State game with Michigan. And the Tim May Podcast is back for a special edition to break down every aspect of The Game.

This loaded episode features an interview with John U. Bacon, a football historian who focuses on Michigan and the Wolverines entire program. Bacon, the author of multiple books about Michigan football, talks to Tim about the state of the rivalry, the matchup this season between two heavyweights and the turnaround of Jim Harbaugh in the last two seasons.

It’s all part of the massive, special rivalry edition of the Tim May Podcast. The discussion and the guests make this episode a must-listen from fans of both sides of the border in preparation of The Game.
