HBO out did themselves with this program! No matter if you are a die hard Michigan or Ohio State fan, you will appreciate the rich history and humor this program offers. For those of us who knew Bo and Woody, it will bring a few tears to your eyes too. An excellent compilation of the rivalry between two of America's greatest college teams ever!

I have watched several "Ohio State - Michigan Rivalry" DVDs....and this is far and away the best one. HBO really did thier homework, produced it superbly, and captured the emotion and devotion of athletes, coaches and fans involved in this rivalry.

There's a lot of history here that even us grads didn't know. The video is well done and provides a fair assessment to both sides.

HBO did their homework and respected both Universities, coaches and players! It hugs your soul and brings a tear or two. I was apart of the "Ten Year War" of Bo and Woody and I was very impressed with all the facts presented. Life goes on, but no one will never have the effect that Bo and Woody had on the players or the fans. GO BLUE!!!

As a huge Michigan fan, this was a must buy for me. I have to say HBO really did a great job putting this together. There were a number of things I learned about the rivalry that I didn't know before. There were a few issues I had, though. First, the video was short. It barely reached the hour mark. I realize that it was a "Made-For-TV" documentary, but considering the Fab Five documentary was in depth and informative, I was expecting more. Second, it was made in 2008. I was expecting there to be more of Jim Tressel, Lloyd Carr (there wasn't anything with Carr in the video) and the (then) current Ohio St-Mich rivalry. Third, I think they could've went further with the rivalry. In my opinion, and lots of other people's minds, it's the biggest rivalry in all of sports. I thought it should've been treated like that.

Still, it was a very enjoyable watch and for what it is, it gets the point across.

You get to see this DVD right before any Buckeye game and get pumped up and choked up! If you are a true Buckeye fan, this is a must!

This DVD is fun to watch whether you are a fan of the Wolverines or the Buckeyes.

This is one of the best documentaries you can watch, especially if you are a Buckeye or a Wolverines fan.

I had seen this "documentary" before on HBO, and had wanted to own it, being a loyal Ohio State fan. A friend of mine is a Michigan fan, so I bought it for him. Without the rivalry, there is no "game". He loved it too.

This video captures the heart of the rivalry. Absolutely nails the love between the Buckeyes and Wolverines. That is we love to hate each other. Best video I have ever seen on this subject.
