THE GREAT RIVALRY OF MICHIGAN AND OHIO. Insert repetitive jokes about Michigan finally being able to play Ohio here. Seriously, I think they're pretty humorous.

Michigan's first game of the NCAA tournament features a matchup with another Ohio school, which is leading the Mid American Conference in couch burning and Halloween attendance, Ohio University. But this Bobcat team is being viewed as a squad which is poised to upset a group which won a share of the Big Ten conference.

Many, including myself, think Ohio University could be a team people need to keep their eyes on. Michigan may have Trey Burke, but OU has their own stellar point guard in D.J. Cooper along with a scrappy defense which in known for forcing turnovers. This game is going to come down to do who can make a few extra plays on offense because both teams are underrated on defense.

This is, personally, the matchup of the tournament I am most looking forward to in the opening round. Whether or not OU pulls off another upset like they did to Georgetown back in 2010, this should be a back and forth game with an exciting finish.

Now if only this guy could do the same thing to Michigan's mascot. Best of luck, "Ohio."

Michigan doesn't have a mascot just so you know.

Kent State could give us a run in couch burning.

An excellent case in point of why the OHIO references are derrogatory.  I'm sure the author felt he was giving us props, and yet at the same time dropped several backhanded "compliments" and threw in some "OU's" to boot.  He just about got it right.

And I think they are both non-AQ compared to the couch burning in Cowtown.  Seems to me they are pretty proficient at celebrating big victories with rampant destruction.
