Pitt and Penn State last played in 2000. Now, 16 years later, the rivalry is renewed.
Sure, it's got a sponsored name and logo now. Sure, the players on both sides were in most cases too young to remember anything from the last game. And sure, the coaches from that 2000 contest are both long gone.
But it's still Pitt-Penn State.
I'll listen to the argument that the game isn't a rivalry game right now. After all, when you go nearly two decades since playing, it lessens things to some degree. Since that time, Penn State has been playing the likes of Ohio State, Michigan, and others in the Big Ten.
