This isn’t really a story about Michigan vs. Ohio.

It’s about family.

After their father’s death, a brother and sister are brought back together by one wonderfully unusual final request: reenact the historic Michigan–Ohio War.

Along the way, there’s grief, laughter, sibling rivalry, old memories, and all the ways family can drive you completely crazy — while still being the people you love most.

🏈 Think this show is just about football? Think again.

My Mother and the Michigan/Ohio War is really about family, loss, love and the people who know exactly how to drive us crazy. ❤️😂

There’s rivalry. There’s history. There’s plenty of Michigan vs. Ohio. But at it's heart, it’s a funny, heartfelt story about family.

You don’t have to love football to love this one.

Come for the rivalry. Stay for the laughs. 🏈

🏈 MICHIGAN vs. OHIO. MOM vs. THE KIDS. 😂

Izzy’s husband Freddy had one dream: stage a full-scale reenactment of The Michigan-Ohio War.

Then came a bizarre papier-mâché accident.

Now this Michigan matriarch is determined to make Freddy’s dream happen—and she’s recruited her Wolverine daughter 💙💛 and Buckeye son ❤️🩶 to help.

What could possibly go wrong?

Pretty much everything.

😂 Historical becomes HYSTERICAL as this family battles over everything from tofu to Toledo, goal posts to Gordon Lightfoot—and discovers that when Michigan and Ohio are involved, even family loyalty has its limits.

Don’t miss the award-winning comedy about family, football, and the fight for the Toledo Strip.
