Is Penn State a rival?
Honest question. Because I know the joke is that they aren't, and the Buckeyes have had pretty consistent success against the Nittany Lions as of late but: the joke is actually funnier if they actually are a rival, and who haven't the Buckeyes had consistent success against in the Big Ten (don't answer that, Boilermakers)?
I'm okay with us finally recognizing Penn State as an Official Rival, mostly because Michigan has done nothing in the past two decades to hold up their end of the Greatest Rivalry In Sports (TM) and apparently you jerks aren't willing to get as excited about Illibuck as I do. But being an Ohio State rival comes with some responsibilities, and one of those is losing to the Buckeyes on a consistent basis.
Good start, Penn State!
THE TEAM
THE ALUMNI
THIS IS COOL AS HELL
THE REST
Next week the Buckeyes travel to the plains to take on Nebraska in Lincoln, which I'm hoping will throw a little dirt on the Scott Frost head coaching tenure with the Huskers. See you then.
