NCAA football, 2013-14

[CountDeMoney]

Navy-ND was one helluva game, over 900 yards of combined offense,  exchanged touchdowns and the lead on five straight possessions in the 2nd half, and tons of great running.
Felt so bad for Navy's LT Bradyn Heap;  he either blew his assignment block or got schooled when Irish LB Jaylon Smith stayed home, but Navy's 4th down receiver reverse pitch play was ballsy as hell and would've made it but for that.

Seedy: almost got by me, but the Delaware Towson game is tonight. Last year will be avenged and stuff.

Delaware did the unthinkable, scoring 22 unanswered points in the last 12 minutes of the fourth quarter to stun Towson, 32-31, before an announced 8,741

Tiger Pride and all that.  FBS fever: catch it, etc.

FSU hates the university of Miami. We hate their fans even more. Hate is not hyperbole. They are smug. They are loud and obnoxious. They are northeastern. They are everything fsu isnt. If our motto is unconquered, the canes is unashamed.

There is nothing redeeming about the canes or their fans. Most of the fans of the u have no connection to the school. They are simply attracted to the bling. If you dont believe me, the next time you are getting car jacked, ask the dude in the cane cap with the 38 special how much time he actually spent in coral gables and he will respond with some incomprehensible blather about "my boy Irvin" or "my brother sapp, "etc. The only rivalry ive ever seen in any sport that exceeds  the hatred FSU has for Miami is the hatred between auburn and Alabama. I don't like the gators. I wouldn't mind seeing them go 0 for 12. I would be happy if Miami got the death penalty.

They are northeastern.

That is exactly how Wyoming feels about Colorado State.

[Eddie Teach]

Colorado State is loud and obnoxious about football?

Cross border rivalries are not even close. When you share a state and a government and tax revenues with those obnoxious fuckers then you can begin to understand.

That is something only somebody who does not share a border with Oklahoma would say.

Besides Miami is a private school.

Fuck you mister "Oh I don't know about that stuff out west so I will dismiss it out of hand."  Wyoming and Colorado state are separated by 60 miles of hate.  We (the University of Sainted and Holy Wyoming) have played them since the 1890s and we hate them with a passion that is born of our righteousness and their damnation.  We hate them for everything they stand for (including the fact that they were Aggies for so long), we hate them because they believe they are better, we hate their hippies, we hate their inferior ideas.  They are soft and effete, they are liberal and pot smoking slackers.  We hate that they somehow thing they are western even though they are Boulder wannabees.

Wyoming hates Colorado State, it is the oldest rivalry west of the Mississippi, and it is what defines us.

So fuck you, Mr. Power-boater.

[Admiral Yi]

Is the feeling reciprocal in both these cases?

You've lost your damn mind.

I don't agree with PLJ's premise re: cross border rivalries, but I believe the FSU-Miami-Florida situation is a bit different.  Kind of like the rivalries of the old New York City baseball teams, those Florida schools all share a familiarity-breeds-contempt relationship that other states don't share to such a degree.  All those kids at those schools all grew up together, went to school together, played with and against one another, and went through the craziness of big high school programs and recruitment blitzes.  Texas, Ohio and California have those relationships, but not nearly to the compacted extent that Florida football does with a handful of premier HS programs.  That makes those rivalries substantially more intense than anywhere else in the country;  some other rivalries may be more historic, or they're more important to the fans and alumni associations than the players, but FSU-Miami-Florida match-ups are much more personal.

[MadBurgerMaker]

 

There are like 50 guys on OU's roster from Texas.  The players know each other, dude.

Oh hey Valmy. CBS is reporting Oliver Luck has interviewed for the AD spot.

Too many of the Wyoming kids are from Colorado for it to not be personal.  Wyoming (at least the SE portion) is just a 'burb of Denver anyway, and that rankles.  Wyoming vs CSU is not about state rivalries, but rather about who in that 60 miles corridor along highway 287 is better for that year.

That line on the map doesn't matter.  Wyoming folks travel south to the big city for such things as a "mall" or "Olive Garden" but when push comes to shove it is about hating those folks, those dirty and worthless folks, who are at the wrong school.
