About us
Orson Swindle and Stranko Montana are two men pushing thirty who should know better than to run a college football blog, but evidently don't. Both graduated from the University of Florida, and both agree that college football is far too important to be left to the professionals.

Justin says:
Why did you put West Virginia and UVA as rivals? They have never played regularly and don’t really care about each other one way or the other. It should be Virginia Tech-UVA or West Virginia-Virginia Tech. WVU-UVA just makes no sense.

Few football rivalries are more vicious than that oh so divisive Kansas / K State feud.

Is it TTech & Okie State that is a rivalry? I thought it was A&M.
Also, choosing between KU and KSU doesn’t scare me. I’ll cheer for both, dammit.

WVUFan says:
WVU/UVA????
Since when? I sincerely hope that the poster just assumed that due to their geographic proximity that we were rivals, and didnt think WVU and UVA were in the same state for God’s sake. There is definitely no “house divided” issues there, or any rivalry whatsoever for that matter. WVU/VT, WVU/MU and VT/UVA maybe, but definitely not WVU/UVA.

Nebraska and Texas Tech?
I think not, my friend.
Before a defensive tackle intercepted, then fumbled the game away in our own territory; the ‘Skers have owned Tech.
They did hand us out worst defeat in school history, but they are still very far from being considered a rival.
Just put Colorado up there, since it’s clear that OU/Texas has everyone’s attention. But really, when was the last great Red River game? Every year, it seems like one team just doesn’t show up to play.
A true rival can beat you with a 2-9 record.
Otherwise the graphic is superb…

T-Tech/Neb? I think UGA/AU or Tenn/Al would be a better rivalry than that. Obviously this post is filled excrement and hot wings.

Suggestions/substitutions:
That Colorado/Colorado St. rivalry has been really nasty in recent years. Then there’s the Egg Bowl – not too many talk about it, but they really don’t like each other, either.

TIGERinATL says:
Seriously, if the point was to highlight serious stabbing=passion rivalries, then all twelve slots would have been better filled by SEC rivalries plus tOSU/UM and UT/OU.
But still, kudos to Joshua for the effort. Those who cannot do, criticize.

Hey Mountaineer fans- this is an good opportunity to ask something I’ve always wanted to know: would you consider VT or Pitt your actual “rival” for purposes of selling overpriced and campy crap to fans like the “house divided” stuff?

Colorado/NU is far, far more appropriate than NU/TT. After all, the po-po did have to clear out the CU student section when Nebraska was last in the People’s Republic of Boulder.

While I do agree that Joshua was a little lacking in the research dept., I appreaciate the effort he put forth and nominate him for ONE HUNDRED COCKTAILS.

No Ole Miss/Mississippi State? The football may suck, but it is still one of the most heated rivalries you’ll ever see. I mean, those folks hate each other.

Ill nominate for 50 cocktails – those are for the effort. You can look up a list of rivalries on damned wikipedia son.

Hook'em Tide says:
JEEEEEZZ GUYS, hold up! It’s not a “best rivalries”. I was drivin’ around Birmingham and saw a “house divided” license plate with Alabama/Florida State on it. Two teams with the only thing in common being that Bowden was from ‘Bama. So, anything goes with those damn things.
ALSO, ESPN’s college show yesterday consisted of a fucking mock draft (aka, who college teams would trade/trade-for if they could). How idiotic is that? There’s enough REAL stories going on in college football 30 days out, why the hell do they have to play that Dungeons and Dragons/Candyland/what-if BULLSHIT?
But, Spurrier did dial in. He was awesome as always. Click-Clack, motherfucker!

And, if you look at the site, there is no flag for tOSU. Freakin’ awesome Maybe the house divided toilet paper division stocks tOSU.

Actually, AU / UGA is not too full of hatred.
AU / LSU though is a different story. I hate those corndog sumbitches.

PJ from NU in SF says:
#6 – well, these are from the “House Divided” site. You’re more likely to see a U-M grad hooking up with a State alum than someone from U-M mating with someone from tOSU… I don’t think Michiganders can interbreed with Ohioans… something about Buckeye DNA being too close to a chimp’s.

$65 dollars for one of these goofy flags?!?!?! i would sooner buy 2 $15 flags, cut them in half, and staple them sumbitches back together.

TIGERinATL says:
Honestly, does SoCar / Clemson belong in the same conversation as AU / bammer?
It is a much bigger deal though than UGA / GT. I never realized how forced that “rivalry” is until I moved here.

What about Les vs. Hailey?
not Space Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla…at least not yet, but it truly is one of the best young rivalries in all of sport.

41, no not in terms of history and prestige of course. AU/Bama is king. But in terms of the feelings the fanbases have for each other, then I think without a doubt the ill feelings are as strong as they can be.

TIGERinATL says:
cockengr,
Take a trip to Birmingham in November… no, September… nay, MARCH. Then and only then you will know the true meaning of year-round hatred.
I mean damn, 90K bammers made UA’s spring game because they finaly have some hope of beating AU.

I personally would love to see the Grand Valley State/Wayne State house divided flag, mostly for the confusion it would cause people.
Oh and I love that you can get Central and Western Michigan, but not Eastern.
