One of the oldest and best

Pitt vs. Penn State .... oh wait ....
Went to a couple of these in high school. The most boring football you could imagine. The final score usually looks something like 6-3.
Roll Tide!
War Eagle! Beat Bama!
I despise Notre Dame.
I like a good rivalry but some of them have turned into hatred. Florida/Georgia is a good example. Others which seem to have gotten out of hand are Alabama/Auburn, South Carolina/Clemson, Oklahoma/Okie State, and I am sure there are a lot more.
Missouri/Kansas BORDER WAR.
Civil War is for the Pac Championship
DUCKS!!
You just do not understand.
The Toledo War ain't over yet, not by a long shot, baby!
(I'm a Michigan State fan, so during this game I say Go Buckeyes!)
“The Toledo War ain’t over yet, not by a long shot, baby!”
Didn’t Ohio lose the war over Toledo?
The second shot is the UT crowd at an away game at Baylor.
Since A&M has been down for the last few years this game doesn't get the national spotlight like it used to, but here in Texas, it's a BIG DEAL! I went to UT but know a couple of the A&M players and have a nephew in the corps. While these teams hate each other, they also respect each other. Here's the Longhorn band tribute to the students killed in the bonfire collapse:
The memorial to the students killed in the bonfire collapse is a circle with twelve arches, one for each student killed. If you stand inside the arch, you are facing the student's home town.
College football PING?
Even though I’m not a huge fan of either team, Texas-OU is pretty cool. The half and half orange and crimson stadium and all. Now if only we could figure out a way for both of them to lose.
Well, they’re just dodging the University of Tulsa Hurricanes is the only reason the Longhorns are undefeated.
I’ve always like neutral site rivalries- the Cocktail Party, UT-OU, Army/Navy. They’re like bowl games during the regular season.
I agree, this is one of the best.
Indeed! Bitter rivalry between respected foes. Unlike the UT/OU rivalry .... no love lost in that one.
On, man .... just the look of that crowd at Kyle can make a UT fan worry. Anything can happen there. I hope UT can play as expected there and then again against Nebraska for the Big 12 title.
