The Michigan Wolverines started their football program in 1879, and to date the program holds the records for most wins and the second highest winning percentage in NCAA Division I-A history. From 1901 to 1905, the team went undefeated, and tied only one game - to the Minnesota Gophers. The tie game resulted in the oldest college rivalry trophy, The Little Brown Jug. Before the Wolverines' loss to Chicago in 1905, the team won 56 games straight, and one-hundred years later is the second longest winning streak by a college team in the history of the game. Due to these and other successes, the team is widely regarded as the best college football team in history. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for Michigan Wolverines football tickets.

Michigan Stadium Experience
This rivalry game is so big, it’s literally just called The Big Game. This game constantly has national title and Rose Bowl implications and was recently ranked by ESPN as the greatest North American sports rivalry. Between names like Woody Hayes, Bo Schembeckler and Jim Tressel, the coaches at these two schools are a who’s who of the best in the game and they’ll all tell you the #1 thing that makes it a successful season is beating the other team in this game.
The Wolverines won the first eight contests of this rivalry, and haven’t looked back with a solid record against the Fighting Irish. With two of the top three all-time winningest schools in college football history, this rivalry is also grand and is played on the biggest stage. The game is currently dormant, but we could see it spring back to life before the end of this decade.
Michigan owns the better record in the battle for the Paul Bunyan Trophy against their only intrastate rival, Michigan State. Outside of WWII, these two have played each other every year since 1910 and has included a ranked team in 28 of the last 30 contests (the Wolverines, usually). MSU had a surprising four-year winning streak snapped in a 12-10 Michigan win in 2012.
