In the words of my favorite Defective, (Defective Fillmore), NO DOUBT!

To be honest, I will be a disappointment here. Sports are not really my thing, I'm afraid that I don't have a favorite rivalry. My boyfriend doesn't really help me to learn more either. But, if you need comments on camping stoves and other assorted gear, or books...I'm your gal ;) Mostly, I wanted to comment because I hadn't done so yet.

I really dig the pictures too :)

I have two questions. Can I add comments to old entries? I had some for the "I miss the glory days of high school and college posting". I have to say, I will throw a curve ball in there and disagree wholeheartedly with you. Also, if I do add a comment "late", so you know it is there when you log on? Sorry....first time on here :)

hey, thanks for commenting, get on your slacker friends to do the same :-) Don't worry about the sports posts, they aren't that frequent. As for posting "late" ... not really. I set the site to disable the older posts because spammers comment in old posts and that pisses me off. SO, try to post within the first week or two.

A-Rod: Bronson Arroyo is not on your team. Do not attempt to high-five him. And certainly don't be such a baby about it afterwards.

The best rivalry in sports has to be the Florida State VS. Miami college footbal rivalry. I believe the winner of that game since 1987 has won or been in the National Champoionship 10 out of the last 17 years. The great games, the missed field goals (ooh, too many to count), the fights, and the sh*t talking could you ask for anything more. College rivalries are always better than professional ones because the game is still purer, also more emotion from the fans and the players.

See, there's no question that college rivalries are typically better rivalries, however, right now, there aren't any good college rivalries. Michigan vs. Ohio State football is the BEST rivalry of all time, but not right now. FSU vs. Miami is also a good rivalry, but not right now. Sox vs. Yanks is the best rivalry, especially after the Sox just forced a seventh game, right now.

That is a bias statement. There is no way that the Michigan Ohio State is a better rivalry than FSU Miami. More national championships have been decided by this rivalry than any other rivalry in the country. Yes, Michigan Ohio State is a good rivalry but not the best. Your post asked for what is the best rivalry, if you only wanted one that was happening right now than why ask? Of course it is the BOSOX and STANKEES it is the only one going on right now. Basically, why ask the question???????

okay, fine, by "now" I mean in recent history ... the last couple times the teams have met or a potential upcoming game between two typical rivalry teams that MEANS something. If I'm biased about Michigan, why would I listen to you regarding Florida St?? First off, it's like the Yankees and Boston of 5 years ago ... too one-sided to be a rivalry. Florida St. would actually have to start BEATING Miami to be a rivalry again. RIGHT NOW, Miami OWNS Florida St! Basically, if all you're gonna do is shout FSU everytime I ask a sports question, WHY ANSWER?????

Why Answer, you ask???? Your first comeback was about Michigan, so maybe you should ask yourself the same question. The only reason I mentioned FSU Miami is because I really belive it is the best rivalry.

For God's sake, don't get so damn defensive all the time. I mentioned Michigan as a simple point of reference, not a damn "comeback" and let the record show that Michigan vs. Ohio St. was actually picked by ESPN a couple years ago as the best rivalry in the country. I'm not attacking you or FSU so chill. I'm simply stating a fact ... you can't have the best "rivalry" (currently) when Miami has beaten FSU five straight times!
