One of the things we like to do here at Buckeyes Wire is debate. We’re good at it, even when we’re wrong. Each Friday, we’ll throw out a topic that seems to be in the news or is a hot topic of discussion and provide a round table forum of discussion. Sometimes it’ll be two writers, sometimes more. Sometimes it’ll be hotly debated, sometimes more civil.

Heck, sometimes it’ll be outlandish, but it’ll fun nonetheless.

You can even get in on the act by going to our Facebook or Twitter page (at the bottom of this article) and providing your own input, but beware — we do like to respond and hash it out, so be ready for some debate yourself.

This week, we’re talking Ohio State vs. Penn State of course. If you know a Nittany Lion fan, it’s rather obvious that he or she believes the Buckeyes to be a rival of sorts. But that isn’t necessarily the case when you talk to OSU fans.

But with the uptick in competition over the last few years, there’s no denying that the game have meant more. Of course nothing will ever take the place of Ohio State vs. TTUN, but where is this whole Penn State thing today? Is it a rivalry, or just another matchup between two good programs.

We’re giving the stage to Mark firsts …
