Governor DeWine and Governor Whitmer Place Wager on The Game

(COLUMBUS, Ohio)—Ahead of the Ohio State Buckeyes' rivalry game against the Michigan Wolverines, Governor Mike DeWine and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer have placed a friendly wager. 

On November 29th, the Ohio State Buckeyes will play the Michigan Wolverines in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with a noon kickoff. 

"Every year, this rivalry brings out the best of Ohio — our pride, passion, and belief in the Buckeyes," said Governor DeWine. "I'm confident that Coach Ryan Day and this Buckeyes team will bring home the win. Ohioans know what toughness looks like, and we will see that on full display this Saturday. Go Bucks!" 

"As the mom of two Wolverines, I know Michigan will bring strength, grit, and championship swagger to The Game," said Governor Whitmer. "I encourage every Michigander to wear Maize and Blue as we cheer on the Leaders and the Best in the biggest game of the year. I am confident that the Wolverines can beat that school down south for the fifth year in a row. Go Blue!"
