Seadragon76 Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 In my current location, a big deal is made between Des Moines and Omaha, mainly the PCL rivalry between the Cubs and Royals. This is going to get amped up a notch when the Stars and Knights play against each other for the first time in AHL play.College wise, a major deal is made between Iowa and Iowa State (There's even a contest known as the Hy-Vee CyHawk Series between the two schools). You throw in Drake and Northern Iowa during basketball season and you have the Big 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 i'm gonna just mention the ones immediately around meRacine: as the biggest thing we got is top-level semipro ball, the Raiders always have a target on their backs, and the big games are against the Kane County Eagles. They basically make the difference between going to a rinkydink invitational and heading to the national tournament.Milwaukee/Green Bay vs Chicago-basically, that's how it is for most every pro team around here. Brewers vs Cubs...Bucks vs Bulls...Packers vs Bears...even dating back to the IHL years, Admirals vs Wolves. Hell, I'll throw in the Raiders again, as in the early 90s they had a second big rival, the Palos-Orland Force (the name was two parks in Chicago), but they haven't played in many years and the Force have since changed their name (now they're the Force of Illinois). the further south you are of Milwaukee, the more likely you may wind up being a Cubs, Bulls or Bears fan A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilbert Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 The Moose haven't really got any real rivals in hockey. I know they are far but not even Hamilton or Toronto when they begin play? Theres got to be at least a little something when they are playing one of the other Canadian teams.Strange enough a lot of Hamilton fans would always come to Cincinnati when the Bulldogs came to town Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 The city of St. Louis has has 2 rivals. Kansas City and Chicago. The sports teams rivals also go on these lines. Blues/Blackhawks has always been heated, and I don't need to really mention the Cardinals/Cubs. Rams/Chiefs I don't know about so I won't pretend to say if that rivalry is one at all. Rams/Bears isn't really much of one. But Missouri/Illinois has gotten to be a decent rivalry. Although Illinois isn't really a Chicago team at all, unless they are winning, then Chicago claims them. Missouri really isn't a St. Louis team either. I think the City of St. Louis has a general rivalry with the City of Chicago, mainly because of the proximity of the two cities to each other.

Geoff Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Speaking from a Pensacola Standpoint: Mobile, Biloxi, and LafayetteThe Mobile Mysticks and the Pensacola Ice Pilots fans hated each other for the most part. When the Mysticks closed up shop for a year and moved to Duluth, Ga (Gwinnett Gladiators), most Mobile fans (with the except of the very few who hate the Mississippi Seawolves more) because Seawolves fans. The Seawolves are the Ice Pilots biggest rivals in the ECHL. Lafayette had the Louisiana Ice Gators (R.I.Peices) and there was also tension and even more so after we signed their old coach and they signed our old coach.Women's football wise, everyone hates Pensacola. overall record of 13-1 (losing in the Semi's last year and they just finished the 5th consecutive 8-0 regular season in a row. They own and always have.Pensacola Pelicans are currently second in the Central League (independent). No real rivals in this league being it's their second season.

Nick 1733 Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Unfortunately out here we really don't have anyone close enough to be a 'rival city'.In the NBA it's Utah. In NCAA it's Nebraska for CU and Wyoming for CSU. Other than that, there's no one close enough. Kansas City is the closest for the Broncos and for the Avs, well, nobody. Don't care about the Rox.

Agreed on the Winnipeg-Regina rivalry. Unfortunately, pretty much every joke we make about Saskies, the rest of Canada makes about us. Armpit (or worse) of Canada, watching your dog run away for 3 days, various farming related jokes, etc. Sadly, as flat as Saskatchewan is, Manitoba is waaay flatter. But, that doesn't stop me from really sticking it to the Rider fans every year at the Labour Day classic. I have to bring a Banjo this year....

Yes, but only the southwest corner of Manitoba is like that. Saskatchewan's landscape is just as boring, just there's more of it.Saskatchewan - They fought progress, and they won!

SEMOSTLfan Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Being in St. Louis our biggest rival is Chicago with the Blackhawks/Blues and Cubs Cardinals....although I dont know if the Cubs/Cards is much of a rivaly because a rivalry requires both teams to be competitive. The rivalry between the Cardinals and KC Royals is more light hearted and fun than with the cubs. I went to one of the games at Kauffman this year and all the royals fans around me were nice guys and we all just gave each other crap but there was no bloodshed like when the cubs are in town.

GeneralW91 Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 I tend to think that Akron's biggest rival is Cleveland, because Cleveland tried to make Akron a suburb. The only others I can think of for rivals are Toledo and Bowling Green. www.ABAsite.tk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
