College fans loved Ohio State’s petty Lion King meme after beating Penn State

After Ohio State stayed undefeated on the season with a 20-12 win over previously undefeated Penn State on Saturday afternoon, the Buckeyes social media team decided to get some light trolling in to celebrate the victory.

After the Nittany Lions offense sputtered with a dismal performance, Ohio State shared a Lion King-inspired graphic of Brutus Buckeye holding up a lion cub on top of Pride Rock Rafiki-style with the caption “rawr.”

Ohio State and Penn State clearly have at least somewhat of a rivalry going on, and this was a pretty clever way for the Buckeyes to claim bragging rights over their Big Ten foes.

You win some, and you lose some. This week, Penn State will have to put up with the trolling, and Ohio State will do the trolling. Next time, we might see Penn State troll Ohio State, or more likely, Michigan troll Ohio State.

It’s the circle of life, after all, and it trolls us all.

CFB fans loved the pettiness here.
