Michigan-Ohio State Rivalry Leads to Ann Arbor Bank Staying Open on Columbus Day

Kyle NewportOct 13, 2014

The Michigan-Ohio State rivalry never rests. Even on holidays.

Columbus Day is celebrated on the second Monday of October each year. However, the employees at the Bank of Ann Arbor aren't getting the day off. Why not? It's because Columbus, Ohio, is home to the Michigan Wolverines' biggest rival, the Ohio State Buckeyes.

This is certainly not the first trivial act in the rivalry's recent history. Back in early September, Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer had ESPN's Brad Nessler and Todd Blackledge change into Buckeyes attire after they showed up to practice wearing blue shirts.

And there is still plenty of time for both schools to heat up the rivalry between now and the big game. The Wolverines and Buckeyes don't face off until Nov. 29 in Columbus.

In a season in which Michigan can't beat Minnesota or Rutgers, Wolverines fans are still focused on the No. 13 Buckeyes. That's what makes this rivalry so great.
