To each his own.
Numerous rivalries have faded and been reborn. Some schools don't play each other for decades, and when they reschedule and reestablish the rivalry, it picks up right where it left off.
Anyone who was at the last game a few weeks ago noticed that the excitement & hate was still there. Besides  many factors influence rivalries, they're not based only on won/loss records.
If/when the Cuse and Hoyas get back to being top-25 programs, I'd wager the rivalry will be alive & well.
That's the point. That's why we keep playing the game. Not only because of "metrics",  but because it actually means something more.
Not for nothing, but i kinda feel sorry for many fans who think "stats" and numbers are what matter most in sports. Of course that's the end game, but I respectfully disagree w/ the premise that a traditional rivalry means less, just because of metrics.
Thats why this rivalry can, and I'd bet WILL be revived, even if we only see each once a year. And that's how it should be. JMHO
