Was he responding to me saying that after tOSU-UM there are multiple rivalries who can make Top 5 claims?
that's kinda what I gathered. Apparently he disagrees with the notion that it shouldn't revolve around 1 sport.

Also, IMO, one sport does not a rivalry make.

Are we talking "recent" history or "overall"?
RECENT HISTORY = HELL NO!!!
Overall = HELL YES!!!

You're not even trying
Anyone posting something as stupid as "Alabama-Tennessee rivalry is better than OSU-Michigan" isn't trying. That was my point.
You boys are so fricking myopic it isn't even funny.
The rest of the country doesn't give a shite about Alabama-Tennessee, and these days probably don't even realize it's played every year because it's so fricking meaningless, and hasn't been nationally relevant in a generation.

I think hate-wise, Clemson and USuC should be in this conversation.

Not really surprised by the answers here. In Alabama, the Iron Bowl is bigger. Everywhere else, it's The Game. I'd agree with that.

No, it might if Michigan gets relevant again, but not now.

I like them both and watch them both annually. I haven't been in the heart of Bama/Auburn so I won't judge that since it can't be fair
When I was at OSU, OSU had just started turning the tides again so it was fierce. I think the last decade has made younger people not understand it again
What makes OSU/Michigan so hateful is how different their fans are. Auburn and Alabama fans I feel like if they weren't wearing tshirts supporting one or the other you could see them hanging out together. Michigan fans are the most god awful people who think their shite doesn't stink. When they are good, it is just an abysmal time in life

You mean last year when it was a night game and OSU/Michigan was at noon and Michigan had a losing record?

NO. They have too many distracting pro sports.

Thank you for your pity.

I'm not sad at all. We don't have pro sports teams, whoopdy do.
