1) Just because you recruit against a school for players in a region doesn't make you a rival of that school. You compete against them for sure, but not a rivalry. Rivalry's are created ON THE FIELD. What is that water-shed moment where Rutgers beat SU and it cost SU something big? Or SU beat Rutgers and it cost them something big? Or that big play in that big game that had meaning that will be talked about for the next 75 years? There isn't one, hence its not a rivalry.

2) The Dome on average gets 40,000 for a football game these days. How many of those fans do you think know about or post on this message board consistently year round (or post on any Syracuse message board where this is even still a topic?) A few hundred...maybe. If it's even that high?  I mean the number of this "digital age" you talk about is so small compared to the vast majority of fans who go to games and who don't have a clue about this website (or websites like it) and have this ever dying hate towards Rutgers like you think so many have is tiny. And vice-versa its the same for Rutgers on their end.
