The "biggest" varies by location. I'm not going to get into it. It's a futile argument. Many national publications have listed UM/OSU as number one. Iron Bowl is certainly up there. Same with Red River. Same with Army/Navy and USC/ND. There's no point debating because there's no way to measure. It will just depend on where you are.
But the fact that you said it's not known outside the Big Ten and no one mentions it among the greatest rivalries in the sport is absolutely hilarious.

It has an argument. The top 2 programs the last 30 years. Only 15 miles apart with 2 hall of fame coaches. You can't say that about any football rivalry.

sorry but the truth hurts

I wouldn't say that.
I would say that CFB evolved a great deal over the last 30 years, where CBB didn't. Before that, they were probably on almost equal footing. But CBB didn't have the chance to evolve like that either. CFB became big business with bowl tie ins, bigger stadiums, and TV deals. CBB never really stood a chance against CFB in that regard.

Wrong.
While OSU/Mich might not be big in the South...it is big in 70% of the rest of the country...while Bama/Auburn is far more regional and mostly just big in the South. Which is why I laugh when people say Bama/Auburn is a bigger rivalry...you're just counting your personal experience in the South and ignoring the rest of the country...which is bigger.

Civil War. OU/OSU
JK. but two of my buddies played for the Beavers. Was a good one. They told me the rivalry is pretty intense. I'm sure oyu know Quizz, and his brother Quon was this guy (although they call him James now or whatever)

Nope, they were never near equal. CFB has had higher TV viewership than CBB since the TV was invented. Prior to that attendance at CFB games was always much higher than BB.

You clearly missed my point.
Posted on 2/7/12 at 3:29 pm to busey
Or your point is clearly retarded.
Posted on 2/7/12 at 3:29 pm to busey
Re-state it.

Maybe if you ask nicely. You'd think after 90 years on this earth you would have learned that.

Oh, I understood what you said. It's retarded. I was merely trying to give you a chance to back track. You didn't take it. So, you look like the fool that you are claiming that there was any time in history when BB was anywhere near as popular as FB. Sucks to be you. Have a nice day.

Don't expect Vitale to consider international rivalries.

It might have been the most ridiculous thing I have ever read on here.
