But saying they are, makes it so?

No. Saying it’s so is an acknowledgment of reality. It’s a fact. Degree of rivalry is a measurement of fear and hate. Which are the biggest conference games? Which tickets are the hardest to come by on the secondary market? Every time you hear a Buckeye fan say, “I hate losing to Penn State almost as much as I hate losing to Michigan,” that tells you that they’re our second biggest rival. Hell, the resistance to admitting it by so many Buckeye fans tells you the same thing.

I have never heard a single buckeye fan say that, and if they did, it's because the latter basically never happens.

Purdue wins every other time they play OSU, yet I've never heard that phrase uttered about them either.

Meanwhile PSU wins once every 5 tries and you're trying to pretend it's something it's not.

Penn State has rivalries with officials.
With conferences.
With anyone that coaches without honor.

They are...

meanwhile your resistance to admitting most widely held viewpoints means nothing, I'm sure.

When we blew out Wisky 59-zip the coach had his bags packed and his mind elsewhere.

Franklin is halfway out the door. His presser would suggest he does not have the laser focus needed to pull the broken pieces of his dishevelled program together for the task at hand.

Take the points.

I wish I could but I'm laying 18pts instead. If I could take the points I'd find the slimiest loan shark in Vegas and bet the farm!!

WTF? Penn State are not and never have been Ohio State's rival. They badly wanted to push that narrative when they entered the Big Ten, because they wanted what that would bring in media bucks and recruiting attention.

They are not and never have been our rivals. Never.

They are Unrivalled as a cult. JoePa did far more than soil his pants. By turning a blind eye, he planted a stench of dishonor that will be there for decades to come.

They can be our bitch forever for 2005 and 2016; I’ll never let it go and forever I will wish to fuck them raw over a barrel in Joe’s front yard for the rest of my days.

call it a rivalry, I don’t give a fuck

Here's another fact; no it doesn't.

Why are you afraid to admit the truth? I just can’t understand it. If Penn State isn’t the biggest home conference game on the schedule this year then who is? If you were in the lottery to receive tickets to one home conference game this year, who would you pick? PSU or MSU?

MSU is technically a rival but our shared hatred for Michigan has always made for friendly relations between the fan bases. And the Spartans only occasionally go through stretches where they’re a threat.

Here’s another fact: OSU has a cold rivalry with Notre Dame. I say it’s a “cold” rivalry because they almost never play. But most of the fans hate the other and it’s always a big deal when they play.

Most rivalries are geographical. In this region there are four teams in the top 10 of all time winning percentage: Ohio State, Notre Dame, Michigan, and Penn State (top 8 if you want to be specific). PSU is the other big brand on the schedule that is a threat to beat the Bucks every year.

If you can’t acknowledge that PSU is OSU’s second biggest rival then you’re just in denial.
