While I agree, the big difference in the culture of the two fanbases comes out when you touch on this subject;
when tsun nation had the upper hand under Cooper (their only sustained success in The Game since Japan surrendered to end WWII) their institutional arrogance took over and they played the "not a rival anymore" card.
Now that that card has been taken from them, ripped up,set alight and shoved up their asses, OSU fans (by and large) don't want to ever see the foot come up off the throat. They are now and always will be our mortal enemy. Worthy of every ounce of hate and malice we can wish on them.
until they quit the fucking sport

If you're a good team. I don't want to downplay winning the B1G. For most teams, that is as good as it gets. But at Ohio State, the goal is championships. Recruits come to win it all, not just to win the B1G.

Agreed. I'm not saying they aren't Ohio State's rival. I want them to suffer endlessly. I'm saying Ohio State isn't their rival. They should aim lower for achievable goals. It was easy for them, as you say, to proclaim that Ohio State "wasn't a rival" before. It should be easy for those brainiacs to acknowledge now.

RUN UP THE DAMN SCORE: BLOWING OUT MICHIGAN PAYS DIVIDENDS FOR OHIO STATE
Last November Curtis Samuel galloped into the endzone to clinch the most exciting Ohio State-Michigan game since 2013.
His teammates mobbed him and Ohio Stadium raucously celebrated a classic edition of The Game sealed on its final play. It would be the last touchdown the Buckeyes would score in 2016.
Three years earlier Tyvis Powell broke 100,000 local hearts simultaneously at the goal line. Ohio State covered up the ensuing onside kick and the game was over. His undefeated Buckeyes would advance to the B1G Title Game and Orange Bowl. They lost both.
Michigan's heartbreaking losses are apparently contagious.
Samuel and Powell delivered two of the most iconic moments in the rivalry's rich history. Their timeless feats of football heroism saved Ohio from the sum of all fears - a loss to Michigan, and in the most agonizing of circumstances: A 50/50 battle that hinged on a single play at the game's climax. They're frozen in time among the greatest moments in Buckeye football history...as long as you blind yourself to what happened next.
That's because those two Buckeye teams combined to go 0-3 in their respective postseason games. And those losses are not outliers over the past 30 years, either - they're the norm, as there is a mystifying trend between close/bad Michigan games and even worse Decembers and Januarys.
Ohio State has lost to, tied or narrowly defeated Michigan (narrowly = by one score or less) 16 times over the past three decades. It has only won 25% of the time after those games.

So Michigan must be dominated on the final Saturday of November. Demoralized. Destroyed. Ground into a fine paste. It's about more than just

It's probably not a cause and effect issue, so much as the close games are simply indicators that the respective tOSU teams just weren't all that strong.

Logically you could be right; however, there never is a bad reason to run up the score on scUM. It's Saturday, the sun came up today, Harbaugh is an idiot, or I just took a dump....all valid reasons to run up the score on scUM.

Promising sophomore-to-be and projected starting TE Devin Asiasi has apparently been sufficiently creeped out by theharbrau and is transferring.

This is what counts for Devin. Guess he was wise enough to only hang around for 1 of these.
