re: Is Ohio St. vs. Michigan a better rivalry than Bama vs. Auburn?

We hate each other more. It's a bigger part of our lives, a 365-day argument unlike any other

This. I have family in central Georgia. It seems in the area where my sister and her husband live, there are actually more Auburn fans than UGA or Tech. I am actually an avid college football follower, and I've seen how the Northerners have a strong dislike for one another's team. Northern and Western Ohio are actually more Michigan fans, in cities like Toledo and Sandusky (home of Cedar Point). If you Southerners ever have something bad to say about Ohioans, I strongly suggest you visit a park called Cedar Point. Place has about 23 roller coasters and it is a lot of fun. Also, look up Marblehead and Middle Bass Island in the Summer. You'd think you were in the Florida Keys. But I digress. Alabama and Auburn have a much more deep-seeded hatred IMHO. OSU fans might tea bag a passed out Michigan fan, slash his tires, make out with UM guy's girlfriend or break his car windshield. In the South, people's lives are on the line.
