It's time to show your colors. Who do you think will win the Ohio State versus Michigan football game on Saturday?
The Icon offers a handful of Shannon Theatre passes to the winner and runner-up. Here's how it works:
• You may enter as many times as you wish, but each entry must be under a different name.
• Entry deadline is noon, Saturday, Nov. 24.
• There are several spread-point options for contestants to chose the winner.
• The contest has two tie-breaker questions.
• If there is a tie after two tie breakers, the earliest entry wins.
