Midweek Musings - What Makes a Rivalry?

Penn State is #unrivaled.

Or are they?

PSU would love to be considered rivals for either Michigan or Ohio State, but those two have The Makeout Session The Game, and the Lions will forever be a third wheel for those two.

Maryland and Rutgers would love it if Penn State considered them as rivals, but until some success happens on the field, I don’t see it happening.

Michigan State has sort of been the “sure, why not?” answer, as they, too, are third wheeling to UM-OSU. And while I love the Land Grant Trophy, I’ve also never felt a real kinship with the Spartans.
