Re: The Rivalry
Listen, I'm not going to try to prove to you that the OSU-UM game isn't the biggest rivalry 1). because that's impossible to "prove" 2). I wouldn't even know what metric to use and 3). it's obvious you have your head so firmly lodged up your ass my arguments wouldn't make a difference either way.
Damaniac seemed to claim that all of "us Boston fans" along with NY fans cannot STAND to see a thread go by without having it turn into a NY/Bos discussion. I'm sure that when i'm looking at the main page I think to myself "hmmm how many of these threads can I turn into a NY/Boston discussion?"...not at all. Have you ever thought that maybe there are so many NY/Boston threads in a sporting events forum because 1). The teams have two of the biggest followings in the country 2). The Red Sox just won the World Series 3). The Yankees are always in the news for free-agent issues, and A-Rod may walk away from NY 4). The Patriots were involved in a cheating "scandal" but are still in position to play for an undefeated season, and 5).The Celtics have some talent and can make a run at an NBA championship? I mean, maybe it's because of those HUGE stories that people talk about NY or Boston a lot. The irony is all that you had to do was let those couple (benign) comments pass by and that would have been that, but instead we have idiots like you bitching and moaning about us Boston and NY fans, which does nothing but turn the thread into a complete clusterfuck.
I never said college sports sucked, I said college football rivalries are always overhyped (interestingly enough by the media which you claim has told me what to like). I love College basketball in particular, but I find it hard to get excited for any college football for whatever reason, whether it's the BCS, or whatever. That's just my opinion, and that's how I represented it.
I'm what's wrong with fandom, and I'm a bandwagoner? Man, you suck. Perhaps it's because of douches like you insisting that despite what everyone else in the country thinks UM vs. OSU is the SINGLE GREATEST SPORTING EVENT IN HISTORY is why I've come to dislike the teams and "The Rivalry". For the record, I wasn't even the one who brought up NY or Boston.

You don't care about anything except the playoffs and think every season you don't win a championship is a failure.

Yea, that's what's referred to as being a "winner". Not quite to that degree, but are you seriously trying to bag on me for expecting a team who has the pieces to win a championship to at least put together some sort of run in the playoffs? Also, LOL at you criticizing a long time Red Sox fan for expecting to win a championship every year....just so stupid.
btw, in regards to "only caring about the playoffs" what the hell does that even mean? Maybe you're such an awesome fan that playoffs don't even matter to you, maybe in your world we're all winners, but last I checked the point of fielding a competitive sports team is to win a championship, wouldn't you agree? I don't know, maybe it's because there ARE NO PLAYOFFS IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL. I understand wanting to beat your rival, but it almost seems like you'd rather beat UM or OSU in-season and lose in the National Champ. game than lose to your rival but win the title. That's what you're making it sound like, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
