It's Michigan-Ohio State, which means you won't see the word "Michigan" anywhere, but simply TSUN (translation: "That School Up North," as longtime Buckeyes coach Woody Hayes used to say).

In fact, as tradition has it, when it's Michigan week, you won't even see the letter "M" in a lot of places around campus in Columbus — which explains the excess of X's, all in red, that are popping up in Twitter pictures from official and unofficial feeds.
