Of course, you aren't anyone's rival. To achieve that it is going to take a long history of significant games and disputes wins and losses and heroes and villains. (e.g. SU vs Georgetown in basketball)

But that hasn't stopped what seems like a significant proportion of the fans on your board from trying to create rivalries for the purpose of hitch-hiking on another team's history and traditions.

Even you by describing the trivial and ordinary history between RU and MD to a "rivalry" status make the point. No RU vs. MD game in any sport I am aware of could be called "significant". What you seem to be saying is that in the RU vs. MD games are the only ones that have even the faintest glimmer of what could evolve into a rivalry.

Marland fans --- with a much richer tradition of athletic success --- might not agree. But then they understand your frustration. The ACC schools they wanted to be their rivals never really took them seriously.
