Ohio State hates Michigan in case you didn’t already know, but Urban Meyer took it to a new level when he made students to push-ups for wearing blue shirts.

There’s nothing quite like college football rivalries and we saw another example of the lengths people on college campuses will go in order to disrespect their rivals.

Urban Meyer famously never mentions the Michigan Wolverines by their name and refers them to That School Up North, a phrase originating from legendary Ohio State head coach Woody Hayes. It’s not uncommon to refrain from mentioning the rival by name and attaching some sort of nickname for them, but Urban Meyer is not beyond taking it to the next level.

Meyer teaches a class at Ohio State called coaching football, which sounds like a class I would have loved to take when I was an undergrad, but when a pair of unsuspecting students had the audacity to show up with a t-shirt the same color as the Wolverines team colors, well, Meyer wasn’t having it.

The three-time national champion made the students to push-ups in front of the class to instill some order and teach them a lesson in the greatest rivalry in college athletics.
