Poll question: In honor of tonight's game, what is the biggest sports rivalry?

Of course, you all know my vote.

1. Need you ask....

2. I see you are a Red Sox fan, uh!

:D


I lived in NYC for 4 years and I now understand the unbridled enthusiasm of Yankees fans :D

9. heh heh...

When I moved here (from Cincinnati) I wanted to root for a home team, but just couldn't go for the Reds' old nemesis: Mets....

Luckily, I arrived during a bunch of good Yankee seasons (Jeter's arrival, Paul O'Neill, great Bernie days, etc...) so the devotion hasn't been difficult for me to muster up.

Just a couple short months left, 'til the Boys of Summer re-take the diamond!

:bounce:

3. Flames vs. Oilers

Flames rule!

u4ic should show up soon, just ignore her lame propaganda.

4. Cal vs. Stanfurd (Jr. Univ) is the only one I care about

What is this Duke you speak of - is it something to do with John Wayne? :shrug:

5. Even though I live in MI, I have to say Yankees/Red Sox

When I went to Fenway to see the Tigers play, the amount of anti-Yankees merchandise, the chants of Yankees suck (during a Tigers game), were just amazing. Not to take anything away from Michigan Ohio-State, but objectively, the intensity of Yankees-Red Sox over a 162 game season is just in a class by itself. And that's not even considering the historical dimension of the rivalry.

(Full disclosure: I hate Michigan, I'm a Sparty.)

6. Twins vs White Sox!

:D

7. Auburn / Alabama

I lived in Birmingham for 3 years. They take it way too far.

8. Interesting question

The individual players on the Bears / Packers weigh more than the players on Michigan / Ohio State. However, a college team has more players on the roster than a pro team so I'd go with Michigan / Ohio State
