Lloyd Carr and Jim Tressel Showing The Love

With the biggest game of the entire football season going down on Saturday in Columbus, which is sure to be a barnburner, it looks like Jim Tressel and Lloyd Carr aren't exactly shall we say buddies.

Both coaches are so intense about the rivalry that they don't appear to be friends. It may be because this game can make or break each coaches career at their respected schools.

It sure did the same for former Buckeye coach John Cooper, who was deemed an "outsider" of the Buckeye program since he was never a coach at the Ohio State University and many felt he didn't understand how important this rivalry really was to everyone associated with it.

It could be the same for Carr, though he's been with the Michigan program for years and is Bo's guy, if he takes an L on Saturday in this bitter rivalry, many will question whether he truly is the man for the Michigan program, getting them oh so close, but no cigar.

"I think we’ve always had an extremely professional relationship," Carr said of Tressel. "But I do think that the rivalry is so intense … sometimes you have closer friendships than others. I don’t think you’re going to see the Ohio State and Michigan coach going to parties together."
Former Michigan coach Bo Schembechler said of the two, "I don’t think they’re friends."

Friends or no friends it's all going to come out on the field in two days and we will see which undefeated team can take their show to the National Championship. In fact, it only fuels the rivalry when the relationship is this way, who says they have to hang out and have beers together? This is what the last game of the season for both of these teams is supposed to be all about.
