Although the two <A HREF="#3">had competed against each other</A> since 1897, it was only in 1922 when the Wolverines beat the Buckeyes 22-0 in the first game at the Ohio Stadium - our <A HREF="#4">renowned</A> home stadium - that the <A HREF="#5">hostility</A> <A HREF="#6">rose to the intensity that it sees today</A>. So famous was their <A HREF="#7">antagonism</A> toward each other that since 1935 their game has been the <A HREF="#8">finale</A> of the season games. The Buckeyes and the Wolverines <A HREF="#9">have</A> always <A HREF="#9">stood in each other's way</A> <A HREF="#10">in the quest for</A> the <A HREF="#11">Big Ten</A> College Football Championship.<P>  <TABLE BORDER="0" ALIGN="LEFT" WIDTH="180"> <TR> <TD> <IMG SRC="/graphics/photos2002/bo20021227a2.jpg" WIDTH="180" HEIGHT="120" BORDER="1" VSPACE="2" HSPACE="2"> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD> <FONT SIZE="1">ミシンガン大との試合までの1週間は "Beat Michigan Week" と呼ばれ、公式ウエブサイト<A HREF="http://www.ohiounion.com/bmw/" TARGET="_blank">http://www.ohiounion.com/bmw/</A>まで、存在する</FONT> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> There are plenty of events to <A HREF="#12">inspire</A> students with the school spirit during the "Beat Michigan Week." For example, the American <A HREF="#13">Red Cross</A> holds a <A HREF="#14">blood-donation</A> event, "The Blood Battle," at both universities every year. Both universities try to <A HREF="#15">"put the squeeze" on</A> the other and <A HREF="#16">outdo</A> each other in the <A HREF="#17">blood count</A>, which <A HREF="#18">is published</A> everyday in the school newspaper. <A HREF="#19">Earlier on</A>, OSU led Michigan by <A HREF="#20">93 units of blood</A>. Two days later, 400 units of blood were donated in Michigan, <A HREF="#21">putting them in the lead by</A> over 100 units. Between Michigan and Ohio, anything <A HREF="#22">regarded as</A> a "battle" <A HREF="#23">is all that matters</A>.<P> The rivalry <A HREF="#24">gets into people's blood</A>. Traditionally, hundreds of OSU students <A HREF="#25">gather around</A> a small lake on campus, and jump into the <A HREF="#26">icy</A> water to show their support and <A HREF="#27">loyalty</A> to the Buckeyes. It is so cold that many get sick <A HREF="#28">afterward</A>, but this does not stop the crazy fans. <P> The football rivalry <A HREF="#29">over time</A> has influenced more than just football. The attitudes of <A HREF="#30">Ohioans</A> towards Michigan people are so hostile that saying you are from Michigan sounds like <A HREF="#31">treachery</A> in Ohio. Likewise, my friend from Michigan <A HREF="#33">is</A> often called a <A HREF="#32">traitor</A> at home and <A HREF="#33">teased for</A> going to the OSU.<P> There are many <A HREF="#34">foul</A> and <A HREF="#35">mean</A> jokes about Michigan: One of my <A HREF="#36">acquaintances</A> was told by her mother, when she was little, that everything that <A HREF="#37">was flushed down the toilet</A> went to Michigan. <A HREF="#38">Stereotypes</A> of people from Michigan are all negative, often <A HREF="#39">portraying</A> them <A HREF="#39">as</A> <A HREF="#40">dumb</A>, <A HREF="#41">arrogant</A> and "<A HREF="#42">cocky</A>." Strangely, I am also influenced by these stereotypes even though I <A HREF="#43">barely</A> know any people from Michigan. Three years at the OSU have made me develop such <A HREF="#44">biases</A> <A HREF="#45">unconsciously</A>. <P> Although rivalry in football may be the most obvious reason for the negative images and hostility toward Michigan, there are other less obvious factors. The OSU is one of the best public universities in the country, but the University of Michigan has a higher <A HREF="#46">academic reputation</A>. Because Michigan is one of the largest private universities in the United States, many wealthy parents send their children there. Though football <A HREF="#47">drives</A> the rivalry, the <A HREF="#48">contempt</A> for a richer and possibly smarter school may add to the hostility.<P> The past three years were disappointing seasons for the Buckeyes: either a <A HREF="#49">poor performance</A> or a loss against Michigan, which matters most. The OSU <A HREF="#50">replaced</A> their last coach, John Cooper, only because of his poor record against Michigan - two victories in 12 games - despite his <A HREF="#51">outstanding</A> record in his 13 years of coaching at the OSU, including three Big Ten Championship titles.<P> With the new coach, Jim Tressel, things are different. The OSU <A HREF="#52">came into</A> the Michigan <A HREF="#52">game undefeated</A>. The day before the game, the school newspaper made a 24-page <A HREF="#53">supplement</A> just for the Michigan game, and OSU students <A HREF="#54">were pumped up for</A> the big game, <A HREF="#55">powered by</A> years of frustration. <P> The game <A HREF="#56">resulted in</A> a dramatic <A HREF="#57">turnover</A> in the fourth <A HREF="#58">quarter</A>, and the Buckeyes beat the Wolverines 14-9. Except for a <A HREF="#59">tie</A> in 1973, each team has always managed to <A HREF="#60">dash</A> the other's hopes of an unbeaten season, and the Buckeyes finally broke the <A HREF="#61">jinx</A>. At the same time, they now <A HREF="#62">have a ticket to</A> the <A HREF="#63">Fiesta Bowl</A>. The Buckeyes are just one-step away to becoming the National Champion. </FONT> <P> <B>Shukan ST: Dec. 27, 2002</B><br /> <FONT SIZE=1>(C) All rights reserved</p><br /> <br /> <p> <DL> <DT><A NAME="0"><B>Buckeyes</B></A><DD>｢トチノキ」の意味で、オハイオ州立大学のスポーツチーム名<P> <DT><A NAME="1"><B>Wolverines</B></A><DD>｢クズリ」の意味で、ミシガン大学のスポーツチーム名<P> <DT><A NAME="2"><B>rivalry</B></A><DD>ライバル関係<P> <DT><A NAME="3"><B>had competed against each other</B></A><DD>競合してきた<P> <DT><A NAME="4"><B>renowned</B></A><DD>有名な<P> <DT><A NAME="5"><B>hostility</B></A><DD>対立<P> <DT><A NAME="6"><B>rose to the intensity that it sees today</B></A><DD>今日見られる激しさになった<P> <DT><A NAME="7"><B>antagonism</B></A><DD>敵意<P> <DT><A NAME="8"><B>finale</B></A><DD>最終戦<P> <DT><A NAME="9"><B>（have）stood in each other's way</B></A><DD>最終戦<P> <DT><A NAME="10"><B>in the quest for ～</B></A><DD>～を目指して<P> <DT><A NAME="11"><B>Big Ten</B></A><DD>大学アメフトの連盟の1つ<P> <DT><A NAME="12"><B>inspire ～</B></A><DD>～を鼓舞する<P> <DT><A NAME="13"><B>Red Cross</B></A><DD>赤十字<P> <DT><A NAME="14"><B>blood-donation</B></A><DD>献血<P> <DT><A NAME="15"><B>"put the squeeze" on ～</B></A><DD>～にプレッシャーを与える<P> <DT><A NAME="16"><B>outdo ～</B></A><DD>～に勝つ<P> <DT><A NAME="17"><B>blood count</B></A><DD>献血量<P> <DT><A NAME="18"><B>is published</B></A><DD>発表される<P> <DT><A NAME="19"><B>Earlier on</B></A><DD>始めのうちは<P> <DT><A NAME="20"><B>93 units of blood</B></A><DD>93人の献血者から得られる血液の量<P> <DT><A NAME="21"><B>putting them in the lead by ～</B></A><DD>～のリードで<P> <DT><A NAME="22"><B>regarded as ～</B></A><DD>～とみなされる<P> <DT><A NAME="23"><B>～ is all that matters</B></A><DD>～だけが重要だ<P> <DT><A NAME="24"><B>～ gets into people's blood</B></A><DD>～は人々の血の中に流れている<P> <DT><A NAME="25"><B>gather around ～</B></A><DD>～に集まる<P> <DT><A NAME="26"><B>icy</B></A><DD>氷のように冷たい<P> <DT><A NAME="27"><B>loyalty</B></A><DD>忠誠<P> <DT><A NAME="28"><B>afterward</B></A><DD>その後<P> <DT><A NAME="29"><B>over time</B></A><DD>昔からの<P> <DT><A NAME="30"><B>Ohioans</B></A><DD>オハイオ州の人<P> <DT><A NAME="31"><B>treachery</B></A><DD>裏切り行為<P> <DT><A NAME="32"><B>traitor</B></A><DD>裏切り者<P> <DT><A NAME="33"><B>（is）teased for ～</B></A><DD>～という理由でからかわれる<P> <DT><A NAME="34"><B>foul</B></A><DD>下品な<P> <DT><A NAME="35"><B>mean</B></A><DD>意地悪な<P> <DT><A NAME="36"><B>acquaintances</B></A><DD>知人<P> <DT><A NAME="37"><B>～ was flashed down the toilet</B></A><DD>トイレに流される～<P> <DT><A NAME="38"><B>Stereotypes</B></A><DD>固定観念<P> <DT><A NAME="39"><B>portraying ～ as ～</B></A><DD>～を～と表現する<P> <DT><A NAME="40"><B>dumb</B></A><DD>間抜けな<P> <DT><A NAME="41"><B>arrogant</B></A><DD>ごう慢な<P> <DT><A NAME="42"><B>cocky</B></A><DD>横柄な<P> <DT><A NAME="43"><B>barely ～</B></A><DD>ほとんど～ない<P> <DT><A NAME="44"><B>biases</B></A><DD>偏見<P> <DT><A NAME="45"><B>unconsciously</B></A><DD>無意識に<P> <DT><A NAME="46"><B>academic reputation</B></A><DD>学術面での評判<P> <DT><A NAME="47"><B>drives ～</B></A><DD>～をかき立てる<P> <DT><A NAME="48"><B>contempt</B></A><DD>軽べつ<P> <DT><A NAME="49"><B>poor performance</B></A><DD>成績不振<P> <DT><A NAME="50"><B>replaced ～</B></A><DD>～を代えた<P> <DT><A NAME="51"><B>outstanding</B></A><DD>傑出した<P> <DT><A NAME="52"><B>came into ～ game undefeated</B></A><DD> ～との試合に無敗で臨んだ<P> <DT><A NAME="53"><B>supplement</B></A><DD>特集<P> <DT><A NAME="54"><B>were pumped up for ～</B></A><DD>～に盛り上がった<P> <DT><A NAME="55"><B>powered by ～</B></A><DD>～に奮起して<P> <DT><A NAME="56"><B>resulted in ～</B></A><DD>～となった<P> <DT><A NAME="57"><B>turnover</B></A><DD>ターンオーバー（相手にボールが渡ること）<P> <DT><A NAME="58"><B>quarter</B></A><DD>クォーター（アメフトは1クォーター15分の4クォーター制）<P> <DT><A NAME="59"><B>tie</B></A><DD>引き分け<P> <DT><A NAME="60"><B>dash ～</B></A><DD>～を打ち砕く<P> <DT><A NAME="61"><B>jinx</B></A><DD>悪運<P> <DT><A NAME="62"><B>have a ticket to ～</B></A><DD>～への出場権を手にした<P> <DT><A NAME="63"><B>Fiesta Bowl</B></A><DD>今シーズンの大学チャンピオンを決める試合<P> <P><br /> <P><br /><P><br /> <P><br /><P><br /><P><br /> <P><br /><P><br /><P><br /><P><br /> <P><br /><P><br /><P><br /><P><br /><P> <br /><P><br /><P><br /><P><br /><P><br /><P> <br /><P><br /><P><br /><P><br /><P><br /><P><br /><P> </DL> </p> <br /> <hr size="1" noshade /> <ul> <li><a href="/st_contributors.htm">執筆者リスト</a></li> <li><a href="/st_contributors.htm">ＳＴについて</a></li> <li><a href="/st_faq.htm">よくある質問</a></li> <li><a href="/st_advertise.htm">広告掲載</a></li> <li><a href="/st_contactus.htm">お問い合わせ</a></li> <li><a href="/st_our_company.htm">会社概要</a></li> <li><a href="/st_privacypolicy.htm">プライバシーポリシー</a></li> <li><a href="/st_linkpolicy.htm">リンクポリシー</a></li> <li><a href="/st_copyright.htm">著作権</a></li> <li><a href="/st_sitemap.htm">サイトマップ</a></li> <br /> <li><a href="/"><i>トップページに戻る</i></a></li> </ul>
