    Re: BIGGEST college RIVALRY on ABC

    Even though the Sooners are favored, I'm picking the Longhorns!!

    The Longhorns have a better Pass Defense and I think Colt McCoy will pull it off!

    Re: BIGGEST college RIVALRY on ABC

    Can you believe it.  A PASSING Oklahoma offense.  But it looks good.  Sam Bradford, 6'-4" 220 lbs.,  is definitely a 1st round pick in 2010.

    Re: BIGGEST college RIVALRY on ABC

    Oh yeah - Both QB's are hitting the NFL, I'm sure. Bradfords stats are better going into this game 204.97 rating, 4,786 total yards, 54 TD's.

    McCoy Stats / 197.94 rating, 7,153 total yards, 67 TD's. 

    Both teams are 5 - 0 till today . . .

    Re: BIGGEST college RIVALRY on ABC

    OU BOOMER SOONER!!! Ever since '04, I've been a Sooner fan. I never watched College football, but when our Beloved started drafting Sooners, and my buddie from the Navy was as Diehard an OU fan as I was Bears fan, we both became fans of each other's teams.

    I got OU on on Saturday now and he watches Bears games. Bear Down Boomer Sooner!!!

    *And there's a Bears/OU bar in San Diego... can it get any better?!


    Every Sunday is an HONOR DUE-AL.

    Re: BIGGEST college RIVALRY on ABC

    Hate to disagree Wolf, but this is not college's biggest rivalry. That distinction goes to Alabama and Auburn.

    Re: BIGGEST college RIVALRY on ABC

    hate to disagree with both of you guys. Army-Navy is pretty big. Ohio State-Michigan, USC-Notre Dame. those are big games.

    IMO, the OSU-Michigan game is second to the Alabama-Auburn game. I grew up around the UA-AU game and, trust me, it's bitter. I have a friend whose dad covers Michigan for a Detroit paper and even his dad says that Alabama-Auburn is the biggest rivalry. He didn't believe it until he went to the game one year and saw it first hand. Also, people talk about it 365 days a year (which is kinda sad). You can walk into a bar in March and there's a good chance that someone will still be talking about the game (and there's a good chance that a fight will break out because of it). To me, that's the thing that separates that game from the others. The fans have to live around each other all year long. It's not like USC-ND where the fans are rarely going to see each other. College football in general is like a religion in Alabama (I've seen a Bear Bryant alter. Really).

    Anyway, there's obviously no way to prove something like this, but that's just my two cents.

    no i understand what ur saying. i live in arkansas right now, and i have 2 friends 1 each from those schools and they talk about that game all year. i havent personally been to those games, so i dont know. but the way these guys get into it months before the game, i'm sure it must be a big deal

    Re: BIGGEST college RIVALRY on ABC

    Speaking of fights breaking out. I live in Valdosta Ga. This city is football crazed like you just would not believe. One game other than the High school / city college games ...that cause a huge problem here is Florida/Ga. When those teams hook up....everything in this town except the sports bars closes down. That includes Walmarts, Gas stations etc. Kinda hard to do in a city of 100k + people but there are riots over this game here. Not to mention the city college team is the D2 National Champs...The high school teams are the state champs in their own divisions....and one of those teams will lose a game to the other every year. Awesome sports town!!!

    I lived in Albany, GA for a few years, and I can attest that the FLA/GA game is huge in southwest GA.
