Win-Side data: Tressel v. Carroll v. Meyer

My opinion is that if you think you have more than one rival, you don't know what rivalry is all about. :p

Now that is a very good point.

But if you only have one rival, you don't have much of a conference.

Hey now, Illinois is technically a rival. I mean we play for the Ilibuck and all.

And State Penn? Well they're just State Penn, everybodies rival. Who couldn't hate a piss-bag throwing Nittany Lion?

Well, "technically" yes. But in reality no.

And Fuck State Penn. That is important information that I left out of my last post.

Well considering Meyer may never coach again and Carroll looks to be off to Seattle, I'll take our guy. Tress is the man.

I know - but you're insufferable when you're right - like you are here - so I had to go a different direction. :p

Being right has no statistical impact on the insufferability of bkb.

As bkb's statistical instantiation, I approve this message.

OHIO STATE'S GREATEST TURTLE-THEMED RIVALRY TROPHY HAS BEEN SAVED VIA CLEVER SCHEDULING​

But when the Big Ten decided to go to a "Flex Protect Plus" schedule with the addition of USC and UCLA to the conference, Ohio State's not-rivalry with the Nittany Lions probably wasn't the stickiest of band-aids to rip off. OSU has exactly one protected rival that they'll play every season, Michigan, and the rest of the conference will rotate through.

Notably, Illinois will be back on the schedule in back-to-back years for the first time in almost a decade, and that means the turtle is back, baby!
