Now you’re just being arrogant from a position of utter foolishness

Which, of course, makes the rest of us think you’re from happy valley; not because we think of you as a rival, but because you’re that stupid.

Do you remember when they were terrible a few years back? Did anyone care about the game with PSU aside from dealing with their sick mutant fanbase? We all knew what the outcome of the game was going to be so it was kind of "meh".

No matter how bad tsun has been in the past, we always have The game and the entire season revolves around winning it even if the opponent is terrible.

You've clearly stated your position. The rest of the board has stated theirs.

No one is changing anyone's mind on this.

Why not just let it go?

My message you quoted was a reply to someone who apparently recognizes that PSU is OSU's #2 rival but likes to tell PSU fans that they're not a rival just to get under their skin. So apparently for some OSU fans it's not a matter of what they believe, it's just a matter of trash talk.

Why do so many Buckeye fans openly express that, after Michigan, there's no one they'd rather beat, and no one they hate losing to, more than PSU? And then insist they're not a rival? Don't you find that at all peculiar? I mean, it's really not. It's basic sports fan psychology. Texas fans spend all day every day talking about everything Texas A&M does and how much they don't care about them.

Because they are a bunch of self-righteous sons of whore mutant cultists that hang their collective hat on some sense of moral superiority while their god was in reality a pedophile-enabling piece of shit?

Ohio State is not Penn State, that’s exactly the point. Penn State has had a massive inferiority complex the entire time they’ve been in the Big Ten.

It's like we're their Michigan. How can you not see that the dynamic is similar, it's just that we're on the winning end? They're like our Michigan State except that over the long term they're a much more formidable, and successful, opponent than the Spartans.

I'm not sure you understand what it means to have an adult conversation. Your idea of an adult conversation seems to be akin to stamping your feet and shouting "They're not a rival!" repeatedly like a child throwing a tantrum.

If we were having an adult conversation then we could talk about the nature of rivalries and how they exist in the real world as seen by objective observers, not by sports fans who are too emotional for objectivity.

Let me guess...when OSU and Michigan were in separate divisions, you were fine with that and didn't see that as a threat to the rivalry at all. Am I right?

When did PSU become a rival, in your eyes?

My idea of an adult conversation is engaging with someone who has the self awareness to understand he is exhibiting the exact behavior he is accusing everyone else of of performing.

You obviously do not posses that level of self awareness.

You think they are a rival, I do not.

Agree to disagree.Have a nice day.

I hate Wisky more than I do the Pedsters. And not to mention, MSU has had a great number of close emotional games as well(with division and conference titles on the line), are they our rival to you as well?

Not even a close comparison. There are , and have been years where if either team isn't that good, no one cares about this game. That never, EVER,EVER happens for The Game! JoePA was and is seen as a character, a grandpa that we laugh at for shitting his pants. He had a few good teams in the 90s and 2000s, but none seen as threatening to OSU and our legacy. The "rivalry" and BS "whiteout" is all manufactured.

Since 2000 Penn State has the same amount of wins against OSU as Purdue.

Question to the other mods:

Should we start banning people for sheer stupidity? I never thought so before now. I’m probably even leaning toward “no” as we speak, but... wow
