We might be tossing out the boundary rule... but this battle needs to happen. There is just no way around it.
vs.
In 1835 and 1836, the State of Ohio and the Michigan Territory both wanted control of the port of Toledo because of it's location on the Great Lakes. It got down right nasty and people on Ohio started referring to people in Michigan as Wolverines because they were uncivilized and ruthless beasts. Those in Michigan took it as a compliment as the animal is a fierce protector and does not back down from a challenge. Congress proposed that Michigan would get the Upper Peninsula and Ohio would get Toledo and President Andrew Jackson called for the "Frost-bitten Convention" to finalize the deal. At the time, people in Ohio thought they had won an amazing victory, until silver, copper, and iron was discovered in the UP and timber operations started up.
Ever sense then, the Toledo War is fought between the University of Michigan and Ohio State University as the final game of the NCAA football regular season.
History aside, which state is better?
(Ohio Sucks)
Go Blue
