The Game has been officially canceled this year, so let's look back on the series through the art of some of the series' beloved program covers.

It's a legendary rivalry, one might say one of the best in the annals of college football, so here's a look back at the history of the series through the covers of the game programs.

Let's start with 1946, a 7-3 Michigan win in the first post-war game.

The Bo-Woody rivalry in the '70s was lampooned on this 1977 program. The game would end badly for Woody when he punched an ABC cameraman in the stomach, foreshadowing his eventual demise one year later when he grabbed a Clemson player by the facemask in the Gator Bowl, effectively ending his career.
