Once again Ohio State lost an opportunity to take the field due to the weather as an unfavorable forecast mixed rain off and on throughout the evening hours saw the Wednesday night date between the Buckeyes and Bobcats be cancelled.
Without a midweek game, the Buckeyes surely chomping at the bit to get back on the diamond, and who better to take out the anticipation and frustration if you're an Ohio State fan than against Michigan.
