Read some of what Nathan Baird and Stephen Means of cleveland.com wrote about what the parents of Ohio State players felt from the Buckeyes’ loss in Ann Arbor last year.

A group of Ohio State football parents, proudly clad in Scarlet and Gray, marched into enemy territory last Nov. 27.

On that chilly morning, before snowflakes began to fall, those Buckeye families were fired up by the seething stares in and around Michigan Stadium. Most had felt this before. Of all of their sons’ athletic exploits, few had left these parents prouder than walking out of either stadium after The Game as winners in Ohio State vs. Michigan, college football’s greatest rivalry.

“They let us know there was no love for us there,” said Ronnie Hickman Sr., the father of OSU’s starting safety. “I thought, ‘This is good. This is what the rivalry should be.’ “

A different reality later literally descended upon the OSU parents. Michigan fans — primed to celebrate a 42-27 victory over Ohio State that snapped a decade-long losing streak — flooded down the aisles of Michigan Stadium and headed toward the field.

This was an outcome OSU parents likely did not allow themselves to consider when they had arrived at Michigan Stadium.

Some people wearing OSU colors were bumped aside by the Wolverines fans who were hurtling toward the field. The parents had previously only felt the intensity of their side of the rivalry — steadfastly referring to the rivals only as “That Team Up North,” never wearing blue, crossing out M’s with red X’s as the game drew near.

In the final seconds and immediate aftermath of Michigan’s win, they were in the path of a wave of emotion from the other side of The Game.

“I’ve never seen so many elderly people in the stands crying,” said Zafiro Burke, the father of cornerback Denzel Burke. “It was a lot of old folks in there that when we lost, I was mad, but I saw those faces of people who might never see a game again.

“But they ain’t winning this year, though.”
