DeWine made sure to replace all of the letter M’s with an “X,” an Ohio State tradition leading up to the game.
Whitmer responded, offering “our famous @buddyspizza, @GoodCakes313, and @VernorsSoda to help wash down the loss. #GoBlue!”
No. 3 Michigan (11-0, 8-0, No. 3 CFP) will take on No. 2 Ohio State (11-0, 8-0, No. 2 CFP) at the Horseshoe. The Game starts at noon Saturday.
