Ohio State - Xavier

I don't understand why CBS keeps putting up a graphic which shows the history of the games between Ohio State and Xavier. They've played 3 times since 1933. The last game was in 1984, 23 years ago. They've established that Ohio State doesn't want to play Xavier, so they don't put them on their schedule. What else is there to say about it? Those games have no relationship to today's game. There's no tradition and the only rivalry you can cite is because Thad Motta used to be the coach of Xavier and is now coaching Ohio State.

Given that, it's nice to see Xavier leading in the game and giving Ohio State all they can handle.
