Michigan-PSU rivalry?

Submitted by DISCUSS Man on

Been wanting to ask this question all week but never got around to it? 

Does anyone consider this game a rivalry? Now that it will be contested yearly? 

Had the feeling tonight of a rivalry. A lot of down to the wire and close games between these two.

No.  A rival is more than someone you really want to beat.  There has to be some natural connection built up over time.

Besides, isn't MSU their B1G-assigned rival?

Penn State had the gall to schedule Michigan for Homecoming. We should have been insulted and played with ANGAR. Instead we may have earned another Homecoming invitation. I am disgust!

It did feel somewhat like a rivalry game, but I pretty much hate them like any other opponent who isn't Ohio State. Then again, Penn State is on my list! First, their basketball team and now this, so I could definitely see the match-up eventually turning into a serious rivalry. And I sort of felt that way about Nebraska, but it doesn't look like Michigan will play them often enough.
