Aside from yankees/sox, Pro sport rivalries are ghosts of what used to be. Players move around too much, no allegiance or hatred of other teams, etc. obviously not the case in college - this article is a case in point |

If you're talking about soccer, I don't consider a ****ty sport where the final is 0-0 really a sport. JMO |

That's why I think army/navy is the best rivalry in college sports. That game means more to the players than any one game means to any other team in the country. |
