Is the Iron Bowl the best?
RecentlyKirk “Deuce Digits” Herbstreit called fans pathethic for not agreeing that OSU-Michigan or the “Failboat” Game was the best rivalry in the country, he then said that it is probably the best rivalry in sports. Why? he was referencing a recent ESPN poll with 70 some odd percent agreeing that tOSU-Michigan just ain’t that big of deal. The problem is him stating the voting fans were stupid and ignorant because 70% don’t agree with him. Then again, he may have thought the 70% were Bammeroids and instutiviely knew that they were stupid.

I think the Failboat rivalry gets so much attention because media (ESPN) makes it so. The SEC has never gotten home field advantage as far as the media is concerned. In fact, if it wasn’t for the over-abundance of great college football rivalries in the SEC, then we’d be passed over almost completely for media coverage. Look at ESPN/ABC, you have Corso, who’s just a mongrel of college football experience , Herbstreit who is displaying more tOSU failboat homerism every year, Musburger who of Northwestern, and Desmond Howard who completes the Michigan homerism (and probably couldn’t name more than 6 schools in the SEC).
Honestly? Failboat and Failboat II really isn’t that big of deal. The Big 10, like an infected warp core, this “has been” conference must be ejected into the stratosphere where it can be propogated witout hurting others. The Big East is more relevant accordingto the most recent computer polls.
Is there is more short term or an acute hatred in the OSU-Michigan rivalry. Maybe for a couple of weeks? Why? Because it is the only “big game” in the Big Ten. Typically, the SEC will have sometimes have 2 games a week. And to add to it, it only means a trip to a Rose Bowl this year. The winner of that game will get their asses handed to them in Pasadena. Oregon or USC will rip them a new one. My favorite one though is Bama-Auburn. The Iron Bowl is definitely on my “to do” list.
Sorry, until you have to actually work, play, breath, and live in the dark world known as Alabama then you can’t aqppreciate the seriousness of this game. Where else do emergency rooms is fill up with 300 lb women in “bama” sweatsuits who have “fallen down the trailer stairs”. They have broken noses, missing teeth, black eyes, broken ribs, and bruised kidneys. for some reason, these “accidents” always happen during the Iron Bowl.
Does State Law Enforcement have to make public pleas for fathers not to shoot their sons during or after the game [Pinson ]? Do emergency rooms have to ramp up with extra personnel and and supplies for the influx of women that “fall down the trailer steps” or who are missing big clumps of hair from their scalps during other Rivalry games? Nope, only in Alabama and more specifically during the Iron Bowl. Breathe deep, water flows freely and repeat after me: The SEC is clearly superior.
