With colleges, a rival is a game you mark on your calendar in all sports. Army-Navy is a big game in football, basketball, and men's soccer. We may talk about Rutgers on the football board more than any other Big East team, but a lot of that is driven by the trolls from Jerzey State U. that post here. We've never circled the Rutgers game on the basketbal schedule. That's been reserved for Georgetown games and possibly UConn in recent times. I'd actually argue that B.C. Is a bigger rival of ours in my time following SU football. I'm sure others on here might say Pitt, or WV. That alone tells me we have no true rival. Texas A&M made a 4 story bonefire every year before the big Texas game. That's a rival. Ohio State refers to their rival as "that team from up North" and has a local band named the Dead Schembechlers. That's a rival. Rutgers has become an annoyance for the last decade, but they aren't our rival. I'll take the return of the B.C. series starting next year over the Rutgers series ending this year. So that being said...
