Agreed, but both of our teams need to have more sustained success and regularly play for championships before we get the kind of hype those schools get.

Alabama and Auburn get more attention because those teams are typically superior to us and the coots. It's plain and simple. Fans of other teams don't care how much you hate each other if you both are mediocre or just plain stink.
Now, while I enjoy the Bama/Auburn more, Michigan/Ohio State is definitely the most competitive rivalry. Historically, Auburn is not as consistent as those other three teams.

compared to the 100+ yr. rivalry. it goes quite a few years further back than 3,at least by anyone with any knowledge of college football, which excludes the vast majority of usuc fans.

That is something small to crow about, but the coot team did get some 5th place rings.

you dont hear about incidents like damaging trees on campus, death threats against coaches and the like. They have a little name that grabs you, The Iron Bowl. What's ours? The Palmetto Bowl? LOL. How wimpy.

You are right about your team dominating.

However, your reason for the wimpy name shows your ignorance, again. I just wasted 10 seconds of my life replying to you. Bye Bye.

Instate rivalries are the most intense, no doubt about it.
Aug 10, 2012, 7:16 AM

Our is just as intense as any other instate, imo. But having Alabama as part of it, takes it to a national level of interest, much more than CU vs So Car.

I Agree

As others have said, the difference is the success of the programs in Alabama. Their success brings more national attention to their rivalry.

With out a JUCO transfer by the name of Cam Newton Auburn would have never won a national title.

Too win a NC you need three things
Aug 10, 2012, 3:27 PM
[ in reply to Re: Rivalries ] |

1. Coaching
2. A standout player
3. A hint of Luck
Auburn had all those things in 2010 (Malzan, Newton, and their more than fair share of luck)

Clemson has the credentials and the history to make it a National game of interest. It is SC that is the problem.If this rivalry was a National focus it would have looked like the NFL playing a college team.What could the reporters say about SC to make them look competitive before the audience lost interest and changed the channel?

fan on your rival's website is actually going to the effort you did in this post to try and cover your dumb ###. There's something very wrong with you.
