Christmas has brought bitter rivals Michigan and Ohio State among others together for an epic Twitter thread.
The amazing thread started when Michigan Athletics tweeted out a picture of UM Stadium covered in snow on Christmas Eve with the caption, “Twas the night before Christmas.” Big 10 rival Indiana replied along with more than 40 other programs including Penn State and Maryland.
Here it is, enjoy:
