Best Sports Rivals
 

Basketball: Duke/UNC
Football: Michigan/Ohio State
Baseball: Yankees/Red Sox
Hockey: Boston College/Boston University :shifty:

Liverpool/Manchester United

yeah ok, City/United and Everton/Pool are local derbys, but Liverpool fans and Man U fans Hate each other, and matches between them both are always good to watch due to the passion of both teams

The two that I immediately thought of were the Colorado Avalanch and the Detroit Red Wings and the Boston Bruins with the Montreal Canadians.

Bruins are rivals with the Canadians? haha wtf

Hockey gets NO love here at all, pretty ****ed up. Boston College is like top 3 in the nation in hockey or some shit and I didnt even know til a few days ago. Still haven't really heard anything about it I just noticed an ad for a hockey game and it had their ranking next to their name. Nobody talks about it at all.

XAVIER/CINCINNATI

and also

Michigan/Ohio State
Yankees/Red Sox
Avalanche/Red Wings
Lakers/Kings
Duke/UNC
Army/Navy
Raiders/Chiefs
Florida State/Florida/Miami

Knicks/Heat used to be a great rivalry too but not no mo :(

I thought Bruins and Habs had a long history of playoffs battles?

Locally:
Vikings - Packers
Wild - Vancouver or Edmonton

The Twins and T-Wolves is just whoever is close in the standings.

Local (other then the ones I mentioned in the 1st post)
Boston College/Norte Dame
Harvard/Yale
Celtics/Lakers

Celtic/Rangers and Sunderland/Newcastle United.

Thinking about it, this is THE rivalry, its not just about football, its about religion, so its pretty significant. That and the fans of both teams are amazing.

NFC: EAGLES/Cowboys
AFC: Oakland/Kansas City
MLB: Red Sox/Yankees, Phillies/Braves
NHL: Flyers/Devils, Montreal/Boston, Detroit/Colorado
College Football: Michigan/The Ohio State University, Florida/Florida State/Miami (FL)

College Basketball: Duke/UNC, PHILADELPHIA BIG 5 (La Salle, Temple, ST. JOE'S *The Future National Champions 2004*, Villanova and Penn)

Baseball: Red Sox vs The Curse

Aaron Boone vs Basketball

LOL, I knew you would reply with a smart ass comment :lol:

of course :cool:

That was a hot rivalry

So was the Mets-Braves. Especially when Rocker was talking shit about New York

Kinda partial to the Dodgers/Giants rivalry :o

Best Rivalry ever is New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox

I also think a Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators rivalry is brewing

Australia & England (any sport)

All three :D

Makes for great games and pregame parties :D

Real Madrid - Barcelona. Goes beyond sport, and into politics and sovereignty.

Back in the days of Franco, the Spanish government tried to fix the league so that Madrid, the capital city's team would win, and stacked the odds against Barcelona because they represented Catalonian nationalism.

Barcelona fans think it's still happening, and they'd have a point. Real Madrid are given a huge helping hand by the banks and the Madrid council.

Celtic and Rangers is by far the biggest rivalry in Britain.

That Argentinian derby is pretty hot too, I think it's River Plate and Boca Juniors. Fans are always getting killed at the matches and the players kick the shit out of each other.

Oh yeah, I always forget abour Real and Barcelona. Man do those Barcelona fans HATE Figo.

NBA: dunno, don't care
NFL: there really isn't enough games to have rivalries
NHL: Bruins/Canadiens and Avs/Wings
MLB: Of course, Yanks and Sox

Real Madrid - Barca
Celtic - Rangers

Them two overshadow everything else that I know of. Celtic Rangers is just pure hatred

Ditto.

NFL: Cardinals/Winning
MLB: Tigers/Winning
NHL: Coyotes/Good uniforms
NBA: Melo/Bron

Yep. Pretty much the reason why I put it, Protestants against Catholics, not pleasent.

NBA- Vin Baker/sobriety
NHL -Leafs and Sens by far
NFL- pats and jets are usually pretty good.
mlb- bosox/yanks

I agree with ECG and Y2C.

I don't like the Av's or the Wings. But when they play, there games are ****ing awesome.

Leafs/Habs

<font color=969696>Rangers/Flyers/Isles/Devils</font>

WTF mother ****ers.

You're leaving out Alabama/Auburn. :mad:

That must not be a big rivalry because I watch college football and I didnt know they were rivals

WTF

You must not pay attention then :mad:

Nobody ever says anything about it..its probably only a big deal if you are from 'Bama

It's always advertised on ESPN and ESPN2.

When SI was offering those special videos on collegiate rivals, it was Michigan/Ohio State, Bama/Auburn, and Army/Navy.

So I have no idea where that came from.
