Answer 3

The rivalry question is a superb one. purple Sox-Yankees is standard, although that is been a media created rivalry interior the final decade. There are no longer that many memorible moments in purple Sox-Yankee history because of the fact the purple Sox bought Ruth to Jacob Ruppert. interior the NFL, Washington-Dallas develop into an magnificent rivalry while the two communities have been particularly good. Lakers-Celtics develop into large in the process the chook-Magic era. yet continuously, 3 hundred and sixty 5 days in, 3 hundred and sixty 5 days out, good seasons, undesirable seasons, i do no longer think of the Cardinals-Cubs rivalry may well be matched. look in the two stadium and you will see as lots Cardinal purple as Cubby blue, St. Louis or Chicago, does not rely. And it would look like attendence on the video games, displaying your real colorations may be the degree of a rivalry. In college activities, between the precise prizes is the previous Oaken Bucket which suits to the winner of the Purdue-Indiana soccer sport each 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. returned that could be a case of it is not considerable how good or undesirable the communities are, yet fulfillment for the 300 and sixty 5 days can hinge on who wins that sport. that is that faculty's risk to crow. that is often the final soccer sport (baring bowl video games) that those college's play each 3 hundred and sixty 5 days.

if you look at what rivalry did the most for it's sport that would have to be tennessee vs ucon in womens basketball. that rivalry has brought the womens game to where it is. if you are looking for tradition in football it would have to be ole miss and mississippi state. if you want atmosphere it would have to be alabama vs tennessee nothing like the third saturday in october. and basketball there is duke vs norh carolina. so just what do you mean by biggest?

Answer 7

I cannot believe nobody said this: Indiana vs. Purdue!!!! Especially in basketball. When Bob Knight was at IU it got absolutely NUTS! Nutty enough that coach Knight would throw a chair across the floor! That game was against Purdue! I have noticed that when Indiana and Purdue play each other the intensity could easily match that of a national championship game.
