Imagine this - after Novembers fourth straight loss, tOSU fans were miserable. And while losing to those cunts will forever and always be unacceptable, instead of falling into the pit of hell and the program imploding, it's risen like a Phoenix and is on the verge of a National Championship.
tCun lows since the mid-2000s included multiple long losing streaks in The Game, including dropping 17/19, absolutely dreadful/bowl-less seasons and having to resort to cheating to finally win anything of substance with their supposed "savior" head coach. They won't say it, but they're nervous that the house of cards will soon all come crumbling down.
So, while they have a temporary leg up in the rivalry, it is not inflicting the lows they would want for us, and instead of crumbling into a heap of despair, we may very well walk away from this with a NC in our pocket.
That absolutely sucks for them. Because when they were down, they were DOWN. We're down right now, but have a chance for a trophy to very much cushion the fall. Suck on that, cheaters.
