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.
