Winter Competition

Once upon a time, long, long ago there was a season when neither Ohio State nor Michigan made a post season bowl game. It seemed so unusual, that the coaches of both teams got together and decided that there should be some sort of competition between the two teams, because of their great rivalry.

So, they decided on a week long ice-fishing competition. The team that caught the most fish at the end of the week would win. So, on a cold northern Michigan Lake (so Michigan wouldn't whine about home field advantage) they began their contest. The first day, after 8 hours of fishing, Ohio State had caught 100 fish and Michigan had 0.

At the end of the 2nd day Ohio State had caught 200 fish and Michigan 0.

That evening the Michigan coach got his team together and said, "I suspect some kind of cheating is taking place," so the next morning he dressed one of his players in Scarlet and Gray and sent him over to the camp to act as a spy. At the end of the day he came back to report to the coach.

The coach asked "Well, how about it, are they cheating?"

"They sure are", the player reported, "They're cutting holes in the ice"
