Haha, I am most certainly not a Rutgers fan. Like I said in an earlier post, I started following SU football in 1978 and I was a freshman at SU in 1987. My father saw Jim Brown play many times in Archbold.

I'm playing a little devil's advocate and trying to point out that rivalries come and go. For example, Holy Cross, Colgate and Cornell were rivals back when Floyd Little was running around in 1964. I don't think anyone would still consider them rivals. New rivalries can develop. Old rivalries can go dormant. Times change. This doesn't mean that SU's football history is diminished somehow. I also offer that the intensity of rivalries can vary greatly from one fan to another. I am also a Cleveland Browns fan (cue the laughter and pity on the board). I hate the Ravens more than any other team. For other Browns fans, it's the Steelers and for still others, it's the Bengals.

Some people on here seem to have very rigid definitions of what makes a rivalry. According to the criteria some have offered, SU hasn't had a football rival since 2004. That may well be the case.
