Default Best Sports Rivalries
Well, I can view this from 2 different fronts. Being a Red SOx fan, I have been a part of the Yankee-Red SOx rivalry since 1978. and BEing a Vikings fan, we have our neighbors to the east the Green Bay Packers. I always hated the colors green and gold anyway. But it's always fun watching those games. I mean, I get more jacked up for that football game twice a year than any other team the Vikings play.

Of course, since I'm a HUGE University of Tennessee Football fan (I graduated from there.), I'm going to say the Tennessee vs. Alabama game. IT is the biggest rivalries I can think of. It is an all out war.

Cardinals vs. Cubs, baby.

And being a UK grad, I'd have to say UK vs. U of L, Duke, Tennessee, and Indiana.

Im not a big fan of sports but I do like watching the Sacramento Kings play and they used to have a serious rivalry against the LA Lakers....
Of course, I think the Kings have hamstrung themselves by trading away some key players and so now they suck.....all except Bibby (I LOVE Bibby!)

other than that, I think the most serious rivalry was between the Yankees and the Red Sox and may I say that I am deliriously HAPPY that Boston finally beat the curse of the Babe. WOO HOO!

Exclamation Hmmm...
have to go with either the Red River Rivalry (OU vs. UT...I think we know who ALWAYS gonna win that game) or the Bedlam Series (OSU vs OU...Okla.St rules OU!!!!)

Also have to say the Yanks/Red Sox & Cubs/Cards rivalry for pro sports.
