More than a few Ohio State fans found their way into Michigan Stadium in 2009. Will the same thing happen again Saturday?

ANN ARBOR -- Ohio State is a two-touchdown favorite Saturday over Michigan.

At Michigan Stadium.

As the Buckeyes continue to mount victories, 23 straight to be exact, Brady Hoke's Wolverine club continues to sputter, dropping four of its last six games in what has absolutely been a disappointing 2013 campaign.

So, naturally, many have speculated what, exactly, the crowd will look like Saturday in Ann Arbor. Will more than a handful of Michigan fans sell their tickets to "The Game" to Ohio State supporters?

If they do, Hoke says that'll be sad.

"That'd be disappointing," Hoke said Monday. "You've got 18 seniors who are playing their last game (at Michigan Stadium), and there's a bunch of them who have been a big part (of the program) and done a lot of good things.

"On campus, on the football field. There's a lot of them that have already graduated."

As of Monday afternoon, some 6,000-plus tickets for Michigan's noon tilt with Ohio State (ABC) on Saturday were available via StubHub.

And, since StubHub is a secondary market, that means that those available tickets have already been purchased -- and are now being re-sold.

In 2009, with Michigan slumping and Ohio State rolling, plenty of Buckeye fans made their way into Michigan Stadium and basically took the joint over.

Even starting a rather loud "OH-IO" chant midway through a 21-10 win.

Will Hoke be surprised if a similar scene breaks out Saturday?

"You know, (some) people are fickle," Hoke said. "That's just the way it is. That's the world we live in."

Senior left tackle Taylor Lewan, who was a true freshman (who was redshirting) during the 2009 game, said the Wolverines can't worry about who shows up Saturday and who doesn't.

They've got a game to play.

With, or without, the support of their own fans.

"I would hope (that doesn't happen), but I don't buy the tickets or anything so it doesn't matter," Lewan said. "I'm here to play a football game."
