Eh, I simply don't like the blue and pee color combo. Never have.NextBuck;1528330; said:Can I say something about our hate for TSUN.
While it is clear that we should hate everything from that unholy school up North, I will say that if we don't respect what they have going for them then there isnt really a rivalry. If Michigan was basically a Rich Rod program from Day 1900 and had awful uniforms and no tradition then would the rivalry even matter? It would be like playing another school.
Miami vs FSU
USC vs Notre Dame
Auburn vs Bama
Duke vs UNC
Yankees vs Red Sox
The things that make these rivalries great are the traditions involved. Honestly I dont want Michigan to be 3-9 every year until I die. I'd rather them be good, and then we ruin their season.The more they suck then the less it matters.
Look at the USC vs Notre Dame rivalry. I'd rather have it like how it was in the past or at least 2005, then what we've had the past 2 seasons.
When it comes to the uniform I think the simpiler uniforms look better. I think only a few schools can pull off a simple uniform soo classy.
As for the rivalry needing both teams to be strong, that's true to an extent. Every rivalry has had lean years, tOSU-scUM being one of the few that haven't had any significant dips recently (last year not withstanding). Auburn-Bama: Alabama had been down for quite a while before Satan arrived and Auburn was baaaad for a lot of the 90's.
Texas-OU: Both Texas and OU were down for most of the 90's
Sox-Yanks: The Sox and Yanks had down years/periods in the 80's and 90's.
Duke-UNC: UNC stunk for a few years around the turn of the century pre-Roy Williams
The big, long standing rivalries are resilient, they'll bounce back just as soon as the teams are in the spotlight again. THE GAME can deal with a few bad years from scUM. I hate those bastards with all my heart and DickRod is taking away the respect I had for that program, so I'd love to see them SUFFER for the next few years. They'll bounce back eventually, but I sense a pretty decent swoon is at foot...
