I have to admit. The level of Fury in the PED games I watch probably means it's a rivalry. Its okay though guys because they aren't "THE" rivalry but as a nice secondary team they usually give us the most issues.

If we beat PED like IU I'll put everything on the Bucks because PED plays us well typically.

Individual fury felt doesn't make a rivalry. I have more fury than anybody. They still aren't a rival. I personally have a rivalry with every one of their fans, because they're the worst people in the history of life. But that doesn't mean Ohio State's football program is a rival of Penn State's.

Not a rival.

By that criteria, almost every team in the B1G has been a rival at some point or another.

Illinois was heated as hell and won more than their fair share in the early 90's

Indiana had Darkest Day I&II in '87 and '88

Iowa, Purdue, Sparty have all caused OSU considerable pain at some point which, in turn, created some heat between the teams and fans when they played.

You play the same teams in conference for long enough and you find reasons to dislike them. It doesn't make them your rival.

When I think of Purdon't, I think of the fall of 1968: Teddy the Tree Provost + Billy Long> Leroy Keyes, Mike Phipps + their marching band, many of which carried instruments but did not play.
Oh, did I say, their locomotive or whatever that snot-drier is, sucks.
That is all.

Jesus, not this again. Every other team in the conference is a rival. Michigan is OSU’s #1 rival. PSU is #2. Saying they’re not doesn’t make it so. Of course they are.

PRESSER BULLETS: RYAN DAY EXPECTS A "DOG FIGHT" AGAINST PENN STATE AND SAYS MARCUS CROWLEY HAS A LONG-TERM INJURY

RYAN DAY
  • "There's a lot of things we need to continually improve on, for sure." Day says he wasn't thrilled with the Buckeyes taking a sack in the first series of the second half against Indiana. "The issues are always there, it's the coaches' job to get out in front of them."
  • Day says Penn State has one of the best defenses in the country.
  • Day says it was the first time he's ever seen anything like the nine overtime game between Penn State and Illinois, says he doesn't know what to think about it. Day says it made him think he needs to implement more two-point plays.
  • Day says "guys are less and less open" when they start to play better competition.
  • Day: "Marcus (Crowley) is gonna be out for a long time." Crowley suffered an injury during the bye week.
  • Day says Tony Alford has done a really good job of adapting with his running back room amidst injuries.
  • "We want to have great energy, we want to have great execution." Day says "execution fuels emotion."
  • On the Penn State defense: "I think the defense has really played well ... it's a really good defense." Day says the front is "very active" and that the Nittany Lion secondary is "veteran now," and says it's one of the better defenses in the country.
  • "Every week is a new challenge. Every week is like a whole season. You just don't know how the game is gonna play out." Day says he tries not to go into each game with specific expectations.
  • Day says "that's why you come to Ohio State is to play games like this," and says it's a big recruiting weekend. Day says peer recruiting has picked up steam over the past few years.
  • Day says this game will be "a little bit different" for C.J. Stroud due to the electric atmosphere and the caliber of defense he will be facing.
  • Day says the Ohio State defensive line is "coming around" and that it's getting some of its older guys back.
  • "Our standard is not gonna change, but we also know what's in store." Day says "no stone's unturned" in preparation for the Penn State game.
  • "When you look at the games we've had with them in the past, it's always been a dog fight." Day says he's expecting another one on Saturday.
  • Day says the Buckeye defense changed what it's doing with the boundary to better challenge opposing offenses.
  • Day mentions Tariq Castro-Fields, Joey Porter and Jaquan Brisker among Penn State defensive backs that have caught his eye in preparation for the matchup with Penn State.
  • "I think Dotson's one of the better wide receivers in the country." Day says the Buckeyes have to know "exactly where he's gonna be" on the field.
  • Day says he expects Julian Fleming to have a full week of work after not being playing against Indiana.
  • Day says "it starts on special teams" for wideouts like Marvin Harrison Jr. and Emeka Egbuka.
  • Day says he spoke to the team after the Oregon game about how they need to take ownership of their responsibilities and "make this thing work."
  • On Harrison Jr. "He understands what working is. He had a high football IQ coming in ... I've been very impressed with how he's come about every day in practice." Day's "really excited about his future."
  • Day says "you can't make assumptions, you can't take anything for granted." Day says "you don't know what to expect on a daily basis." Day says the team is taking a "white belt mentality."
  • Day says he's asking "different things" of Stroud than he was Justin Fields or Dwayne Haskins at this stage in their Buckeye careers.
  • On Cincinnati: "Luke Fickell does an unbelievable job ... they've got some Ohio State guys down there, so we pull for them."
  • Day says Ohio State is "scarred, calloused" from Oregon loss.
  • Day there's been a couple times recently (Akron, Indiana) when opposing teams have scored on their opening drive against the Buckeye defense, but that he likes the way the group has adjusted after those drives to have success thereafter.
  • Day says he's happy that Ohio State has been able to give opportunities to its younger players during the second halves of recent games. Day says his staff was coaching the backups "like it was an even score" late in recent games.
  • On the difference in the locker room between this year and the last two years: "I don't know, because you don't know what's coming next." Day says the team has already seen "the good, the bad and the ugly" so far this season.
  • Day says if the staff thinks it can gain something from huddling up, it will do it.

I consider Penn State a rival. Over the last 17 years, they've played us closer than our main rival, with 4 wins vs 1 for the weasels. I anticipate a tough game regardless of the score as Penn State's season will be a disaster if they fail to win a game against the Bucks, Michigan, or Sparty.

FOH with that...

Purdue has 4 wins as well in that time period...with less games played. Do you lump them in as well?
