Blood Battle is an annual blood drive competition between the University of Michigan and Ohio State. It started in 1982 and is currently in its 29th year as a competition. The competition consists of blood drives across the University of Michigan and Ohio State campuses in the weeks leading up to the annual football game between the two schools.
History
[edit]The competition began in 1982, and the University of Michigan won the first version. Michigan proceeded to win 9 of the first 10 competitions. However, in the 1990s, Ohio State began to start a streak of their own and in the 2000s went on a 5 year winning streak, from 2003 to 2007. [1][2] After losing by a mere three pints in 2007, Michigan broke OSU's streak in 2008 and currently has held the trophy for two years in a row. [3][1] Michigan leads the overall competition with a 16-11-1 record. [1]
