All i said was that the OSU/Michigan rivalry has not been that good of a game for the past 4 or 5 years. OSU has owned Michigan. Everyone points to the #1 and #2 match-up of last year, but everyone knows that Michigan was way overrated. I also said that their are rivalries in the SEC just as good and important as the OSU/Michigan rivalry. The World Largest Cocktail Party comes to mind.
To an LSU/OLE [censored] fan, that game is more important that OSU/Michigan. Rivalry games are very regional in nature.

...and you've been wrong, all 20 times. Yes, we've won the games, but that doesn't make it "not a good game". Each year it's had an impact on the Big-10 title, and twice has sent the winner to the BCSCG, so you can stop trotting out that tired line now.

slu, allow me to refresh your memory. MaxBuck asked the following:
Are you implying that LSU-Auburn is on the same scale as tOSU-Michigan?

With the exception of 2003 and 2004 those scores look like pretty good games to me. Even if you take out this year game which was close in score but reall OSU dominated that does not satisify your game has not been good for 4 or 5 year mentallity. So clearly you have spoken once again without having any clue what you are talking about.

This is irrelevant considering I would expect this rivalry to be bigger than the OSU/scUM rivalry to those fans. Any fan of any team is going to think their rivalry is bigger to them than anybody elses. It has no bearing on anything.

Based on recent history, LSU-AUBURN is as important a rivalry as OSU/Michigan. The winner of the LSU/Auburn game for the past 5 or 6 years have determined the SEC WEST and a shot at the SEC Championship game.

Yes rivalry games are regional in nature...thats why tOSU vs SCum is on national TV year after year after year after...

I think you are misinterpeting what he is saying by asking if it is bigger. I may be doing it too but I believe he is asking in general terms if it your belief it is bigger. Obviously depending on different years different games have different ramifications for different teams.
In the SEC yes the LSU/Auburn game had an impact on the SEC championship. In terms of just general thinking of rivarlies though nobody is bigger than OSU/scUM.
I think his question is more general than pointing to any specific outcomes from the game. |
