Catholics vs. Protestants in Ireland, yikes. <BR/><BR/>I'll throw two Indiana ones in the mix. <BR/><BR/>Colts/Patriots for this decade has been fierce, the two best teams in the AFC. Also, Indiana-Purdue is pretty good, but has been better in basketball. <BR/><BR/>Wow, I haven't seen Raiders/Steelers, the Colts/Patriots of the 70's, or Niners/Cowboys, the best NFL rivalry in the 90's.

Yankees - Red Sox - the hate was there before the worldwide leader hype. I'm not a Yankees fan and I hate the Red Sox, their fans and that whole fucking city.<BR/>5. Missouri/KU - That really is a blood feud, but they lose points for relevance<BR/><BR/>Californian's aren't capable of hating like NYers, so no way the California versions of Giants - Dodgers can even match the NY version, even 50 years after the fact. There are are 70 year olds out here that still hate.<BR/><BR/>Raiders - Charges/Chiefs/Broncos has more hate (when the Raiders were good) than Giants - Dodgers. On that note, I'm surpried that no one has picked an NFL rivalry.<BR/><BR/>Rangers - Islanders had some all time heat, especially when both teams were good, but that died with the Rangers' cup and the Islanders' (and hockey's) irrelevance.Bokolishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08597135316320749668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19679634.post-49670700101186908072008-08-13T07:51:00.000-07:002008-08-13T07:51:00.000-07:00As a central Ohio native, NO, OSU/UM is not the bi...As a central Ohio native, NO, OSU/UM is not the biggest rivalry in sports.<BR/><BR/>On a smaller level, the oldest college football rivalry west of the Allegheny Mountains is the heated Cincinnati/Miami University annual slugfest.GMoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03629846751680840539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19679634.post-35235714878161139602008-08-13T07:36:00.000-07:002008-08-13T07:36:00.000-07:00Oklahoma - TexasHow many scrotums have been maimed...Oklahoma - Texas<BR/><BR/>How many scrotums have been maimed due to the other rivalries you mentioned?
