For years, there was never much of a question about which team the University of Michigan and their fans hated the most. The obvious answer had always been Ohio State.
But, the tide has seemed to turn as of late as Michigan State has dominated their rivalry with the Wolverines as of late. More and more Michigan players and fans are admitting that when it comes to hate, the Spartans have passed the Buckeyes.

On Friday, Michigan defensive lineman Rashan Gary joined the Jamie and Stoney Show on 97.1 The Ticket and he was asked about which team he hated the most between Michigan State and Ohio State.
From 97.1 The Ticket:
“Probably Michigan State” he said. “But I don’t like Ohio State either, it’s hard. But I’ll definitely say Michigan State.”
Asked why, he pointed to territorial bragging rights.
“It’s because they have Michigan like we have Michigan, so we always have to show who’s the boss of Michigan,” he said.
Gary is not the only Wolverines’ player to reveal which team they hate more as linebacker Devin Bush Jr. also said that the Spartans top his “hate” list.
Gary and Bush will have their next opportunity to beat the Spartans when they play in East Lansing on October 20.

CONFIRMED: Former Detroit Lions great Calvin Johnson returns home
For nine seasons, former Lions great Calvin Johnson called Detroit his home. As a member of the Detroit Lions, Johnson racked up 11,619 receiving yards and 84 total touchdowns in his career. Let’s face it, he was unstoppable when he was healthy and he certainly earned the nickname, “Megatron.”
Since leaving, there have been numerous reports about bad blood between Johnson and the Detroit Lions. So it came as a bit of a surprise when multiple fans claimed to have seen Calvin at Ford Field for the Lions home opener on Monday Night Football against the Jets.

In a recent piece in the Associated Press which focused on Barry Sanders, Wood revealed that Calvin Johnson was, in fact, in attendance for the Jets’ game.
