What rivalry is wilder than Red River?

In my lifetime, it’s produced some weird shite:
-Texas beating OU four years straight despite UT being unranked and the Sooners being top 16 (‘89-‘92)
-Texas was top 15 in 2000, 03, 11, and 12 and was absolutely smashed (63-14, 65-13, 55-17, 63-21)
-4OT game and a rematch for a conference title
-major blown leads by both teams (Oklahoma ‘99 and Texas last year)
This game may not be the most entertaining, but it produces lots of surprising results, and I don’t think many had Texas pitching a shutout and/or dropping 49 today.

The 2007 backyard brawl changed the entire landscape of college football as we know it

Iron Bowl gets my vote as crazy stuff always seems to happen. Especially at JHS

Not an arch rivalry but LSU-Florida borders on insanity at times

Before my time, but I’ve heard stories that the scene around the game in the 70’s and 80’s was bigger and wilder than the game itself.
Several blocks in downtown were closed to traffic, tens of thousands of fans flooded the area, open containers were allowed, fans stayed at specific hotels, and it was not uncommon for mattresses and furniture to be tossed out of the upper floors if opposing fans got too close to a rival hotel.
There were fights, a lot of drunkenness, and arrests, but things never got out of control or too dangerous.
Then in the early 90’s culture began to creep into the scene. Violent crime was exploding nationwide, but was largely confined to specific areas. Things changed fast when the free party began attracting the local criminal element.
Dallas shut everything down and ended the party when multiple shootings occurred one night.

Iron Bowl.
Lived in Louisiana and Mississippi growing up. Had no idea how crazy Bama vs Auburn was until I graduated college, moved to Dallas, and made friends with a Bama husband and Auburn wife. Two of their three sons were Bama fans, but the youngest son sided with Momma. During the 80's, I watched both Auburn and Bama beat LSU with them several times, and went to their house for the Iron Bowl every year. Whoever lost would be in a bad mood until football season was over. It was a yearly train wreck I wasn't about to miss. I sat with the Auburn mom and son, and pulled against the Tide with them.
A couple of years before I knew them, the couple had divorced. She left him and the two boys they had at that time, and moved back to Alabama. But after a couple of years, she came back, and they got back together, but hey never remarried.
Maybe two years after he told me all of their relationship changes, I found out the youngest son was born while they were divorced and estranged, and is not my his. I had always assumed all three boys were his. He treated them that way.
When I first met him, and told him I was an LSU fan, he had told me his family, mainly his mom, got real upset with him when he started dating her, because she knew her family pulled for Auburn.
Even though they are from the same little town, she does not see his family when they go home for holidays. Neither does the youngest son. I don't think it's the only reason, but part of it may be because his dad is an Auburn fan too.
It's like a little like a Catholic mom not wanting her son to marry a protestant woman. but more like a white person's mom not wanting her son to marry a black woman, or vice versa.
