108th Annual Michigan vs. Ohio State Game on November 26, 2011


108th Annual Michigan vs. Ohio State Game on November 26, 2011


                               The much anticipated 108th Michigan vs. Ohio State face off is coming up this Saturday, at the Big House!  This game is going to be insane! After we feast and fill our stomachs to capacity this Thursday, some of us will gear up to stand in line to get in on the Black Friday Madness. Others will choose to wait for online deals on Cyber Monday, but no matter if you’re a Michigan fan or an Ohio State fan one thing is for sure on Saturday it’s all about the big game. One thing I think is awesome about this rivalry is that both Universities for the past thirty years have held blood drives for the Red Cross in the annual Blood Battle. Students and faculty get involved by donating blood. Last year about 5,000 units of blood were collected between the rivaling Universities, this year it is expected to be more.  This means that 15,000 potential lives were saved because of the compassion of the human heart.  Pretty Amazing!
                     This isn’t limited to Wolverine and Buckeye fans.  Anyone can donate anytime. Why give blood? Someone needs blood every two seconds! Just one pint of blood can save three lives. Blood can not be manufactured or harvested.  It can only come from you.  Think about it…. It takes 1 hour of your time. You can give someone another laugh, another hug, and most importantly, another chance! I was inspired to share this when I stumbled upon Angie’s Story and other stories of how blood donations saved people’s lives. So, whether you bleed Maize & Blue or Scarlet and Gray, you can be a hero today!
                    After you make your special donation (if you haven’t already done so) you will need to go get snacks for the game. The best place to go?  Kmart!  That’s right.  I can run in grab my snacks, pick up my beverages, and even grab some Big Ten Apparel so I’m already for the game.  Then I can grab all my cleaning supplies, along with some stocking stuffers just to get that out of the way while I’m out. I am watching the game on my new Toshiba 46” 1080p LCD TV which I got a deal on for $799.  I will still do some recon to see what Black Friday deals to anticipate. Kmart is your one stop, shop, and save for all of your holiday and game day needs. That’s not just smart, that’s Kmart smart!
                 Get out and donate (even if you could care less about the game.) Whose life will you save? Check out the Red Cross for more information on when and where you can make a difference!
