Ohio State vs that team up North (Michigan)
Buckeye fan here. I hadn’t missed THE GAME for 30+ years. My wife said “let me have your phone” downloaded ESPN app and we had it in the dash. My daughter watched from the backseat. Double overtime win by THE Ohio State University.

I could flash glimpses here and there. Highway driving. Set the cruise and just steer the ship.
