I still view rivalry games as just as important as twenty years ago.  That's maybe just me. 

Maybe if my teams loses I can rationalize that it doesn't matter as much, we're still in the hunt, maybe.




I'd say this. The wins would be just as sweet. If your team loses the rivalry game and it galvanizes them to run roughshod through the playoffs, then it's a lot easier to shrug off the bragadociousness of the rival fanbase. Of course, if your team loses the rivalry game and then fails to win the NC, then the rivalry loss would probably still sting just as bad. Even if they still "make the playoffs."

I think the portal exacerbated it even more.  Do Michigan fans have any feelings one way or another towards Will Howard?

Michigan basketball had two 7 foot white dudes this year.  I would have hated their punchable faces by the time they were juniors.  Instead they were on campus for like 4 months
Slacker. I hated them after 40 minutes of gameplay.
