Pretty amazing that in creating something they hoped would go viral, they get upset when it does. I'm really having trouble getting a grip on these Penn State fans. They seem to be all about a rivalry but the minute you give them rivalry, they get defensive, make excuses, talk about how much they want to knock off the top dog and then threaten copyright infringement?! And I'm not just referring to our Penn State fans above. I appreciate their comments and welcome them any time. It seems to be a consistent theme I'm seeing in a number of places. Wow BlockO.

Funny seeing as how those who did the photoshopping did not own the original images they infringed upon when they altered them in the first place, no...? I'm sorry were they planning on selling them? I sure as heck am not using them for commercial purpose, so whatever. BlockO here,

Penn State and Ohio State is tuirning into our second best rivalry since they joined the Big Ten. Mike! it's only a game so don't get so huffy. Don't worry about JoePa he can handle it. He should be like Bobby Bowden and retire anyway he's to dam old. I believe the defense of both teams will dictate what the offense's do. Both teams offense's are a bit suspect. Let just sit back and enjoy the game and watch the Buckeyes win. Let the fun begin. Penn State and Ohio State is tuirning into our second best rivalry since they joined the Big Ten.

Now you've really got me off my game. First Mike and now Nittany Nation. I wrote this post with images of fans throwing urine bombs at the OSU band and a video floating around of a very large group of Penn State fans throwing beer at and threatening a couple of Ohio State fans who made the mistake of walking past. You guys are too polite (and it's appreciated). This is a great game and I believe we are currently tied 12-12 in the series aren't we? I also have to admit that at times like this, when Michigan can only seem to spiral downward, I'm thankful to see Penn State (and Iowa) doing well. I do think this is their first big test though. Hence, it's good for both programs. Living in Penn State country though, I must admit that I have enjoyed watching the fans build themselves up for the let down (at least in 06-07). The recruiting is an excellent point especially when you look at NE Ohio and Western PA. I believe that not only did we get a quarterback from PA, you got one from OH right? (not fact checking at the moment). You're right about Syracuse. I'll fix that. One more thing, I remember going to the first Penn State/Ohio State game after PSU joined the Big Ten. It was a great atmosphere then and has been ever since. This game is going to be a defensive struggle. The team that can handle the pressure on offense will be the team that wins this game. Oh, and Boss. I was just about to post on the uniforms. As I understand, they're wearing 1954 throwback uniforms. No complaints on my end. I'm all for going old school. I do like the Woody helmet though. O.K. Now you’ve really got me off my game. First Mike and now Nittany Nation.

So many of the loyalists are upset. Why? It's time for a change. Maybe football philosophy will change along with it. Hey folks! It's time we come into the Twenty-first century. Buckeye fans say "we don't need to change. We have the best looking uniform in college football (and I agree)." Just don't totally change it. It's not like our uniforms look like the uniforms Pete Stinchcomb and Chic Harley wore. The Buckeye uniform has changed dramatically over the years. Just check out the uniforms of the 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, and early 60's. You would never know they were Buckeye uniforms. Therefore, don't talk to me about tradition and the uniform. That's our problem. We don't accept change too readily. It's time to change our mindset. I hope this unveiling is something symbolic of change we'll see in our team on the gridiron. Also keep in mind it's only for one game. We'll still maintain those beautiful scarlet and gray uniforms. GO BUCKS!!!! It's funny but I had been approaching the OSU coaching staff with an idea for an alternate uniform that we might wear during non-conference clashes and bowl appearances.

Being an adjoining state, there's a built in respect for one another as it's a great area for high school ball (including the Big 33 game) and college ball. I personally remember a night game in late October when it snowed at Ohio Stadium and Raymont Harris ran roughshod over the Nittany Lions. I got a free ticket from my boss at the time who was a Penn State alum and we both enjoyed the game (I did a little more because the Buckeyes won something like 26-9 or 29-6). I'm looking for a win on Saturday, where the defense is tough and the offense is just good enough. Go Bucks!!

My father, also a PSU alum, works for Ohio State (and has since '91), and so I've had the chance to wear your colors at the Shoe many times. One of my fondest memories was the ND game back in, what, 1994? I probably still have the program somewhere. Columbus is a great town and I enjoyed spending my later youth there. If I ever had to live in Ohio or PA again, Columbus would certainly be where I'd end up. Still a season ticket holder for his employer, I've seen every PSU-Ohio State game in Columbus since I can remember. The games are intense and the fans really get after each other (for us, more than anyone we play annually). That being said, yes, PSU rests their head on Ohio State as being their Big Ten "rival" -- as a fan, I view OSU as the "big dog" in the league, and everybody wants a piece of the top guy. Michigan State, our designated last game on "rivalry weekend" in the conference, needed somebody to fill their last spot when PSU joined the Big Ten, and so they paired us. Ask MSU fans and they'll tell you the same thing PSU fans do: we're not rivals, the game is almost always irrelevant (exceptions being years where one of us were competing for league titles), and we were pigeonholed into believing adding a trophy (the craptastic Land Grant) would fuel the game's intensity. It hasn't. Ohio State is our closest opponent, in a state where we heavily recruit (and vice-versa), and a lot of our rosters are composed of players who know one another from high school football (PA and OH bleed H.S. football, too). The passion runs deep. You think we WANT to end our season with MSU? No. So, if we're stuck into the same mold every year, than surely we're always going to view OSU as our top rival, even if we're you're No. 2. Give us Pitt (especially), Syracuse, West Virginia, Notre Dame and/or Maryland annually? OSU falls easily falls back into place as just another game (no disrespect intended). Also, Syracuse did beat NW, but that wasn't their only win. Syracuse on paper is bad, but they've played some teams close, including the Bearcats last weekend. Of course that doesn't matter since they still lost, but I heard the same "they play people close" tagged to Purdue postmortem. Paper lions? I know you don't believe that, and I also know that you realize PSU is your second "biggest" game to-date. Enjoy the game Saturday and please watch it without the koolaid (which, by the way, we'll be serving a blue version of at our tailgate in the Ag Arena lot you're invited to -- look for the white Keystone symbol flag).
