The discussion raged last week, and probably won’t die down for at least a few more days.
Whether Penn State and Pitt are genuine rivals or simply schools that happen to share a state is very much a matter of perspective, but most seem to agree that it’s at least an issue worthy of conversation.
That’s not a debate anyone will have about Penn State and Georgia State, which will close out the Nittany Lions’ non-conference schedule at 7:30 p.m. Saturday when it visits Beaver Stadium.
Don’t bother pondering whether Georgia State is a rival of Penn State’s; it’s not, and never will be.
