Re: The Rivalry
[ QUOTE ]
most osu fans would rather beat michigan than win a title. i know i would. i would be surprised if any other rivalry elicited such a preference. and that is why this is the best rivalry. [/ QUOTE ] Alabama fired Bill Curry after going 10-1 and winning the SEC championship because he lost to Auburn. |

Re: The Rivalry
I think that right now the national profile of Michigan and OSU makes it the best rivalry in college football. (and in my opinion the best in all of sports) Auburn-Alabama might hate each other more, but they aren't playing for the conference championship (and often shot at the national title) year in and year out. I feel that the fact that the Michigan-OSU game is more significant in the overall landscape of college football makes it more important right now.

[ QUOTE ] What does it mean to roll a tree? Is this a metaphor for something? [/ QUOTE ] "Rolls" of toiler paper. [/ QUOTE ] Ah ok. TP-ing would be the term I am familiar with. That raises some interesting issues that I mentioned before. Does it makes it a better rivalry if fans engage in that kind of behavior, or is it better if they follow the Mich-OSU example, where the Dead Schembechlers dedicated their concert to Bo and the fans were otherwise respectful? I don't mean to imply that all Auburn fans were waiting to piss on his grave or anything, or that all Mich-OSU people handled Bo (and Woody) dying with dignity and respect, but assume such behavior is the norm for each rivalry: is that a point in favor or against one or the other? I tend to think respect is a point in favor: while we do care a great deal about these games, they are games and being batshit insane about them doesn't strike me as something that ought to be rewarded. |

Re: The Rivalry
[ QUOTE ]
Alabama/Auburn definitely has a higher level of hatred across the fan base than any other rivalry. I'm not sure if it's true; but I have been told that Toomer's Corner (a tree Auburn fans roll when they win a game) was rolled when Bear Bryant died. These people don't just want to beat each other. They want the other school to blow up and the fans to die in a grease fire. It's on a whole other level. [/ QUOTE ] so u think that rivalry is better bc ppl actually want the other guy to die and rejoice when it happens. typical classy southerners. |

Re: The Rivalry
1. The moment of silence for Bo last year was a touching moment.
2. The bands are awesome and a huge part of my enjoyment of seeing the game live. 3. I think you have to live in one of the cities to really get it. |

You are good at producing hot sloots. Your weather is generally good. Other than that you are an embarrassment to the United States. |
