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!!
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 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.
Itawamba Community College versus Mississippi Delta Community College
Hands down the top rivalry is Alabama/Auburn!! Oh and Roll Tide Roll!!
“Texas vs Oklahoma: The Longhorns, the Sooners and the Texas State
Fair recall how so much of our culture is derived from agricultural society.”
As an Okie that has visited the Texas State Fair once during OU-Texas
weekend (didn’t have ticket...went for the fair and to visit a
lady friend)...
even though those derned Texans won AND I got my driver’s side door
caved in by some yahoo...
...It is a GREAT Party. Regardless of who wins.
“Notre Dame vs BYU: this game is not played every year, but it is
not infrequent.
No universities mix religion and football more than these two.”
If neurologists were looking for a place to find A BUNCH of subjects to
wire up to see the neurophysiological effects of FERVENT PRAYER...
a Notre Dame-BYU football game would be the place!
(for full disclosure: as an Okie, I did grow up hearing unkind remarks
about Notre Dame ending a long winning streak by The University
of Oklahoma...I think it was in 1956 or some other year before I
was even born!!!!)
Army vs. Navy
Go Navy beat Army
