Now every Yankees/Red Sox game is 4 1/2 hours of the slowest, most unwatchable baseball on TV.


And ESPN makes sure we see EVERY game between them.. More people hate these two teams than like them.... Last year on Monday night baseball on ESPN.. Tey would show the last place Sox and 4th or 5th place NY instead of eams that were in the playoff hunt... Ratings my arse.....

I don't think there is a definitive "best rivalry in American sports."

In terms of fierce and hatred, no


As someone who grew up in a house with a UNC alum(mom) and Dad who grew up 10mins from campus you post is false.

Just how close the schools are make them hate each other.

It has a southerners vs yankees feels b.c Duke has so many rich kids from the north east who go there.

When the Browns relocated to Baltimore, the hate followed.



no it didn't

Steelers fans gave zero fricks about Ravens fans until about 8 years ago or so.

Ravens fans have a chip on their shoulder to prove they can take on big brother Pittsburgh. Now its a full blown rivalry but at first it wasn't

Eh, I just don't think it's really that fierce. I could walk through Franklin Street with a Duke shirt on and it's not that big of a deal. Can't say the same if I wear a Virginia Tech shirt and walk through Morgantown. Probably have a few batteries chucked at me

Both schools and coaches make me want to puke.

I wouldn't walk across the street to see either team.
