Let's defend our blood battle title! Buckeyes, donate blood on The Ohio State University campus and help us beat Michigan for the third year in a row.
The Blood Battle is back -- and we're the defending two-time champion! Let’s bleed scarlet and bring that trophy home for a three-peat.
Go Buckeyes!
Last year, for the second year in a row, Ohio State won the Blood Battle, a longstanding tradition which began in 1982. During this month-long challenge, we must collect more blood donations than Michigan in order to win.
