This will certainly turn up the heat in an already intense rivalry as the schools wait until next year.
Michigan clobbered Ohio State, 45-23, on Saturday in Columbus.
After the game, the Wolverines players decided it was their right to plant the flag with huge M on block O in the center of the field at Ohio Stadium and in the end zone.

DB/WR Mike Sainsristil explained he had been waiting a year to do this. Michigan won last year but its fans stormed the field.
After winning in Columbus for the first time since 2000, it was time, according to the Wolverine.
