    It comes as no shock that Michigan fans harbor no fondness for Urban Meyer, given his perfect 7-0 record against the Wolverines while at Ohio State.

    Meyer, along with the Big Noon Kickoff team, is present in Ann Arbor for the Saturday game between Michigan and Texas. The coach, who won three national championships in college football, engaged in some light-hearted banter with the Michigan fans to start the event.

    When Fox announcer Rob Stone introduced the Big Noon Kickoff team, he mentioned Urban Meyer, sparking a reaction from the fans.

    "And Mr. 7-0 against Michigan, Urban Meyer," said Stone.

    Meyer responded to the ensuing boos by standing, facing the crowd, and shouting "O-H." Instead of the expected "I-O" reply, the boos only intensified from there.

    While Meyer enjoyed considerable success against Michigan during his tenure with the Buckeyes, it is Michigan that has secured three consecutive victories against Ohio State, including a win last year en route to a national championship.

    In the coming months, it will be revealed whether Michigan can extend its winning streak to four against the Buckeyes, or if Ohio State will halt its series of defeats to the Wolverines.

    These two teams won't meet until Nov. 30 this season, as Michigan will face Texas at 1 p.m. ET while Ohio State takes on Western Michigan at 8:30 p.m. this Saturday.
