OSU getting the shaft
The Buckeyes haven't even taken the field yet, and I'm annoyed already. It seems the entire country is rooting for Penn State to beat the Buckeyes. All week long, we've seen news stories about the resurgence of Penn State, and how a win over the Buckeyes would put PSU on the inside track to win the Big Ten title.
Yes, that's all true. But, PSU shouldn't have needed to make a resurgence. It never should've fallen off the radar screen in the first place.
The following is all true:
-Over the last few years, the Nittany Lions have seen Pittsburgh gain the upper hand when it comes to recruiting within Pennsylvania.
-Joe Paterno is regarded, by most people outside Pennsylvania, as a coach who's simply held on too long, as he's posted some losing records in the last few years.
-Penn State's arrival into the Big Ten was overhyped, and the Nittany Lions have only won the conference title once (1994).
A win tomorrow would be a big step for PSU, but they're not going to win a national championship.
