Michigan vs. Ohio State is one of the most passionate rivalries in sports, and even though college football season is still more than a month away, this happened on a boat over the weekend:

"The fight between 25-year-old Ashley Artiaga, 31-year-old Ian Schuster, and complete strangers on the top deck allegedly began because of an argument over Michigan-Ohio State football. “They were arguing, cursing at each other,” says Ben Freeman, a witness from Cincinnati who was in town for a fishing trip. “As the argument went on, the Michigan fan’s girlfriend stood up, pulled the hair of the Ohio State’s fan’s girlfriend … the wife, actually. He tried to defend his wife by shoving the Michigan fan’s girlfriend. The Michigan fan stood up and tried to defend his girlfriend. And after that they mutually started to fist fight and swing on each other. It was crazy.”"

These seem like sane, rational human beings. All four were arrested. Wild guess: The Michigan fans were talking trash now that Jim Harbaugh is on board, but the Ohio State fans reminded them that the Buckeyes have won three in a row, and 11 of the last 12 in the series.
