If I am wrong here, I am sorry, I am not trying to put words in your mouth, but most of the time there's so much on the line for that game, bragging rights, the big10 championship and in the past 6 years a right to go to the national championship game has been there three times.
What gets more intense for a rivalry than that? You say Michigan isn't a real rival, but remember, before Tressel we went 2-10-1 with John Cooper, trust me this game means a lot.

You are NOT wrong. |

Right, because two undefeated teams from arguably the greatest rivalry in sports meeting to determine who goes to the national championship game pales in comparison to the LSU-UK matchup.
You obviously have either a terrible memory or aren't very knowledgeable, either way, you're embarrassing yourself.

Perhaps you should take your own advise. I'm not the one continuing to post things like this.

OSU and Michigan do not have the exclusive understanding of rivalry in College football... OSU/Michigan is a great game, but there has not been any real good football played in that game for 4 or 5 years. OSU rolls over Michigan, no big deal... |
Putting this is SEC terms ...
Auburn-Alabama and Florida-Georgia are more important rivalries than Auburn-LSU or Florida-LSU.
I'm not saying the games you mentioned aren't important; but with rivalries history is a very big deal.

Literally translated, it means, "Don't let go of the potato." But freely translated, every good Cajun knows it means, "Hang in there, baby."

LSU/Ole [censored] has been playing since 1894. Seriously, OSU/Michigan is a great game historically, but not for the past couple of years. Seriously, UM has just been a horrible team.
