99 సంవత్సరాల క్రితం: మిచిగాన్ చివరిగా ఐదు స్ట్రెయిట్ వర్సెస్ ఒహియో స్టేట్ గెలిచినప్పుడు ప్రపంచం ఎలా ఉంది

When’s the last time Michigan beat Ohio State five times in a row? 

These two powerhouses will meet for the 121st time on Saturday, with the first edition of ‘The Game’ taking place all the way back in 1897.

But this year, the Wolverines are attempting to do something that they haven’t done in 99 years— beat the Buckeyes for a fifth straight time. Michigan recorded its fifth straight win vs Ohio State in 1926 and even got a sixth the following year, but has never strung together five in a row again since then. 

With so much time having passed, we thought it’d be fun to take a look at what the world looked liked during those years. Below is a breakdown of key events and moments in the world during the streak, followed by some additional context on some things that hadn’t even existed yet.
