HBO to Air Documentary on Michigan-Ohio State Rivalry Tonight

Tonight at 10:30 p.m. ET, HBO is going to air a documentary called "The Rivalry," which will look at the Michigan vs. Ohio State and the rivalry (hence the name) that goes along with the game. It is an hour long and really will be very interesting to watch. It features one of the last interviews Bo Schembechler ever did, and also looks at he and Woody Hayes and how they made this game what it is today.

Scott Warheit of Quo Vadimus watched it at an advanced screening in Ann Arbor last week and had this to say about it:

Overall I thought the documentary was good. It is hard to boil down the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry, and all of its history and tradition to only an hour, but the producers did as good a job as could be expected. Certainly after watching it, you really got a good feeling for the start of the rivalry, and the Ten Year War between Bo Schembechler and Woody Hayes. The program featured lots of interviews with former players (though no current, or even recently current players were featured. I think Desmond Howard was the most recent Michigan player interviewed), coaches (including Bo and Ohio State coach Earle Bruce), media (including Michigan alumnus and Hardball reporter David Schuster, who I was unaware went to Michigan), fans, and alumni (like Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes fame). And there was a lot of game footage, including some old footage I had never seen before.

For more on what Scott thought, head on over to Quo Vadiumus, and be sure to tune in to HBO at 10:30 tonight to watch "Michigan vs. Ohio State: The Rivalry."
