Ohio State & Michigan Football Teams Fight After Game Following Flag Planting
The Ohio State vs. Michigan football game ended in a brawl Saturday … all because Michigan wanted to play conquering hero on OSU’s field.
Here’s the deal … Michigan — an unranked 6-5 team — defeated their hated rival, ranked #2 in the country, in a dramatic 13-10 victory.

At the game’s end, several Michigan players took a flag emblazoned with the yellow Michigan “M” and attempted to plant it in the center of the big crimson “O” at the 50-yard line … a controversial gesture to say the least.
Welp, the Ohio State University football took it as a personal affront … and, they rushed out to the 50 to defend their home turf — pushing, shoving and slugging it out with some of the Michigan team.

Watch the clips taken at the stadium … it’s a full-scale riot down on the field — with players rushing over and jawing at each other while some even came to blows.
The fight was ultimately broken up — with cops apparently using pepper spray on several Michigan players … and, it really marred what should’ve been a celebratory moment for Michigan and their fans.
Obviously, reaction to the fight is splitting along tribal lines … with Ohio State fans calling out Michigan for their disrespect and Michigan fans calling out OSU for getting overly emotional.
Only one way to settle this … let us know what you think below.
