Yes, from the same people that would have you believe Notre Dame is still relevant. But you are an expert on idiocy. I do agree to that.

Arguably top 5 and there's no doubt about it. To say otherwise is completely disingenuous

Nope. It just means sports is defined in your world by college football.

What do you think best defines a rivalry and why do you think mich/osu is better?

Mostly college sports. 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

Evidently your sports world is also confined to America. Thanks for proving my original point about the bubble.

Well we do live in America.

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

What the game means to the players and their fans. 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.
