Another vote for this one. But don't stop in the '90s, it goes through to at least 2002.
August 18th, 2015 at 12:44 PM ^
on this bandwagon.

+1... a visceral hatred rarely seen in pro sports.
August 18th, 2015 at 1:42 PM ^
I despised more than Claude Lemieux and Patrick Roy.
Watching that clip brought it all back.
August 19th, 2015 at 12:32 AM ^
I'll always think of "The Turtle." It sorta ruined Claude's mystique around the league. He was never taken as seriously by anyone after that.

One moment I'll never forget is that epic Roy vs. Vernon fight.
August 18th, 2015 at 1:56 PM ^
takedown by Vernon!
August 18th, 2015 at 2:43 PM ^
There are better angles of it, I think, but that body check that Shanahan laid out is still one of the best interceptions of a human being in motion that I have even seen. It was pretty graceful in a lot of respects actaully. As I recall, Deadmarsh and Konstaninov went at it almost immediately after all that happened too and that was just the first period.
August 18th, 2015 at 1:18 PM ^
I'll be honest, notwithstanding that everyone from those days has long moved on, I still hate the Avs and am happy every time they lose.

I'm on board with this. Darren McCarty is still one of my favorite players based solely on the ass-whuppin' he laid on Claude Lemieux.
August 18th, 2015 at 3:09 PM ^
I saw him at a bdubs a few weeks ago. Class act, and a super down to earth guy. I got a picture with him (he asked if I wanted one) and I told him that my first Red Wings experience was watching the Philly series in '97 and how awesome it was to see them sweep. He told me about how all he was thinking is that he had only one guy to beat. He wasn't thinking about winning the game or anything else. He just zoned it all out and got that goal.
My fiancee then invited him to hang out with us sometime. She knows he's like one of my favorite players. He chuckled and was just being polite when he said "maybe if I see you here next time".
If I do see him again, I'm going to ask him about "Le Turtle".

I can't go wrong with either LSU/Alabama or Auburn/Alabama. I always make sure to watch those games.
August 18th, 2015 at 12:42 PM ^

When I was a kid this game was paired with the Michigan OSU game earlier in the day. Best day of footbally watching in the 1970's. Plus hot cheerleaders.

I normally don't laugh aloud at work, but this made me do it.
August 18th, 2015 at 12:51 PM ^
Isn't a great rivalry supposed to be fairly even? This seemed pretty one-sided.
August 18th, 2015 at 1:24 PM ^
So is the rivalry the OP suggested must be everyone's favorite.
August 18th, 2015 at 1:39 PM ^
Only recently
August 18th, 2015 at 2:52 PM ^
We are recruiting kids who were in preschool when the tide of the rivalry changed. You can find people with Ph.D's today who had not even hit puberty at the time. That's a lot longer than "only recently."
I swear it's like some people said OSU's dominance was just a recent thing somewhere around 2005 and still haven't updated the company line yet. The truth is, it's been closer to permanent than any of us ever dreamed it could be in our worse nightmares. OSU's win rate in the rivalry since Tressel was hired is actually five percentage points HIGHER than what ours was vs. Cooper. That is mind-boggling and totally unacceptable.

Or the other fun one to watch is the Brady Hoke supporters vs. the RichRod apologists.
August 18th, 2015 at 12:43 PM ^

I thought if was the Spartans vs their heated rival Indiana in football. They have a trophy don't they? The "the middle of nowhere" trophy?

I'm pretty partial to FSU-Miami because I went to the game in '94. Atmosphere was amazing.
August 18th, 2015 at 12:54 PM ^
... Each time they play (called El Clasico), they get 3-4 X the average superbowl audience worldwide. Think about that for a minute. They play a minimum of 2X per year and usually 3-4 times. Each one of those gets 3-4X the Super Bowl. That's a rivalry.
EDIT: Just saw this interesting article which refutes the viewership numbers -- http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/is-messi-vs-ronaldo-bigger-than-the…. Interesting read. Nonetheless, still the best rivlary.
August 18th, 2015 at 12:48 PM ^
My second favorite rivarly is Michigan vs. Michigan State.
