RE: Top Rivals
IMO, if you have more than one or two "rivals" in a sport, then you don't really have a rival. And, ideally, if you consider a school your rival, they should feel the same way about you.

RE: Top Rivals
Interesting that West Virginia appears on the lists of four different ACC schools (out of the 9 schools that posted here). Not surprising that all four are former Big East schools. The Mountaineers have been mentioned a total of 7 times. Penn State was mentioned 3 times (twice by Pitt and once by Syracuse).

Maybe if the divisions could be arranged so the other members didn't have to play them very often, WVU could scrape up enough votes to sneak into the ACC.

Pitt hates PSU and WVU, Syracuse hates PSU and WVU, WVU hates Pitt and PSU, PSU hates Pitt, and everyone hates ND. That's northeast football in a nutshell.

My only caveat is that PSU really doesn't like WVU. I'm not sure it's "hate" level. But the two fan bases don't play nice w/ each other.

Also, there's no hate between BC and SU, but it is a game of interest.

Historically, this nails it.

But for Card fans under the age of 35, they won't truly understand the Memphis hatred. It is palpable, the older you go. And they REALLY DESPISE US. An open switchblade was thrown at Denny Crum in the old Mid-South Coliseum. Denny was actually hit by a quarter in the forehead in another game there, which drew blood. Surprising to see Memphis fans part with that much money, but that's just how much they hate us. The last big event in that series, was in the CUSA championship, in Memphis, with Calipari as their coach, and Darius Washington choking away a win at the free throw line (never mind his travel before the shot). It was a beautiful moment to watch in person, and reminisce about today ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AA13mfhVMsY I'll never forget the feelings of schadenfreude, as we left Memphis, listening to the post game call in shows after this game. An hour of pure joy, as the callers bemoaned losing like that, their only shot at getting in the NCAA tourney, while beating their huge rival, in our last year in CUSA, as we were leaving for the Big East the next year.

It is much more of a rivalry than with Cincinnati. But distance, and longevity, in both football and basketball elevate Cincy above Memphis.

Marquette an Louisville had something going while in CUSA and the Big East. Both school winning at the buzzer several times. Marquette Coach Mike Deane losing his mind after one such win, running around the court at Freedom Hall, pumping his fists at all the Louisville fans, accelerated the feelings. But we didn't play long enough to truly develop the potential rivalry.

I'd say the same for West Virginia, in football and hoops. The Big XII fight too enhanced feelings for a while. But we didn't play long enough to truly develop the hatred that started to grow between the fan bases.

The fan base is split on all others, really. UConn was starting to grow, but then Pitino rattled off a bunch of wins against them, many by 25-30 points, so it became one sided. Randy Edsell's penchant for teaching his players to cheat during the game also wasn't enough to turn into full blown hatred. Syracuse had many great games and could still develop into a solid rival. I think there is respect from our fan base to theirs, not sure about the other way but longevity in the series could develop into something. At least it feels like it could. Wake Forest has become pretty annoying lately. Maybe that could turn into something. Notre Dame hoops is pretty crazy. And while in the Big East, we seemed to always have to play Notre Dame for league titles in all the olympic sports. So it was a rival in some respect there. Our only meeting on the grid iron was a Louisville win. If we beat them enough, maybe they'll start to notice us, but I think it will take a while before they do so.

I think the ACC will find Louisville developing some rivalries in due course.

i have seen that play a million times, the refs missed a call. they could have blown the play dead if they wanted to but didn't they made a mistake. You are supposed to play until the whistle, and that is what he did.
idk why u are still upset about this, when ur university has so much shade surrounding its athletic department.

it was a blown call not. cheating is like paying the refs to make that call. the ref blew a call and he took advantage of it.07-coffee3 don't tell me ur player wouldn't have done the same thing.

the refs blew a call on a UConn fumble recovery earlier in that game that would have been a touchdown.

i'll take a kid taking advantage of a blow call over having the NCAA breathing down my team's neck for actual cheating any day of the week lol

The worst part is that the returner went over it with the ref before the punt. Probably a contributing factor as to why the ref was reprimanded. If a player tackles someone on a fair catch it's a penalty, you can't tell a ref basically that you're going to call a fair catch but that you don't mean it. Nonetheless that play didn't cost Louisville the game, their bad finish did.

Considering your school was recently on NCAA penalty for cheating, I would think you would keep quiet about other schools having issues. And the "so much shade" remark is stupid. It was a stupid young assistant coach who wanted to be one of the boys with the young players -- totally ignorant and immature on his part, but he totally acted alone. And the school gained absolutely no benefit whatsoever from it -- in fact they lost possible players over it as well as the penalties we already volunteered to take -- including a post season ban, scholarships, travel for coaches, etc.

Historically, this nails it.

But for Card fans under the age of 35, they won't truly understand the Memphis hatred. It is palpable, the older you go. And they REALLY DESPISE US. An open switchblade was thrown at Denny Crum in the old Mid-South Coliseum. Denny was actually hit by a quarter in the forehead in another game there, which drew blood. Surprising to see Memphis fans part with that much money, but that's just how much they hate us. The last big event in that series, was in the CUSA championship, in Memphis, with Calipari as their coach, and Darius Washington choking away a win at the free throw line (never mind his travel before the shot). It was a beautiful moment to watch in person, and reminisce about today ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AA13mfhVMsY I'll never forget the feelings of schadenfreude, as we left Memphis, listening to the post game call in shows after this game. An hour of pure joy, as the callers bemoaned losing like that, their only shot at getting in the NCAA tourney, while beating their huge rival, in our last year in CUSA, as we were leaving for the Big East the next year.

It is much more of a rivalry than with Cincinnati. But distance, and longevity, in both football and basketball elevate Cincy above Memphis.

Marquette an Louisville had something going while in CUSA and the Big East. Both school winning at the buzzer several times. Marquette Coach Mike Deane losing his mind after one such win, running around the court at Freedom Hall, pumping his fists at all the Louisville fans, accelerated the feelings. But we didn't play long enough to truly develop the potential rivalry.

I'd say the same for West Virginia, in football and hoops. The Big XII fight too enhanced feelings for a while. But we didn't play long enough to truly develop the hatred that started to grow between the fan bases.

The fan base is split on all others, really. UConn was starting to grow, but then Pitino rattled off a bunch of wins against them, many by 25-30 points, so it became one sided. Randy Edsell's penchant for teaching his players to cheat during the game also wasn't enough to turn into full blown hatred. [/b] Syracuse had many great games and could still develop into a solid rival. I think there is respect from our fan base to theirs, not sure about the other way but longevity in the series could develop into something. At least it feels like it could. Wake Forest has become pretty annoying lately. Maybe that could turn into something. Notre Dame hoops is pretty crazy. And while in the Big East, we seemed to always have to play Notre Dame for league titles in all the olympic sports. So it was a rival in some respect there. Our only meeting on the grid iron was a Louisville win. If we beat them enough, maybe they'll start to notice us, but I think it will take a while before they do so.

I think the ACC will find Louisville developing some rivalries in due course.

What are u talking about lol, when did he cheat? i think your school has does some stuff that is a little worse... show me a play where UConn "cheated".


Oh ye of little faith ....

Edsell finally addresses this after refusing comment numerous times.

i have seen that play a million times, the refs missed a call. they could have blown the play dead if they wanted to but didn't they made a mistake. You are supposed to play until the whistle, and that is what he did.
idk why u are still upset about this, when ur university has so much shade surrounding its athletic department.

it was a blown call not. cheating is like paying the refs to make that call. the ref blew a call and he took advantage of it.07-coffee3 don't tell me ur player wouldn't have done the same thing.

the refs blew a call on a UConn fumble recovery earlier in that game that would have been a touchdown.

i'll take a kid taking advantage of a blow call over having the NCAA breathing down my team's neck for actual cheating any day of the week lol



If it was what you said it was ... just a player taking advantage of a blown call ... then Randy Edsell would've commented about that right after the game, instead of waiting days before commenting.

It wasn't that simple.

But enjoy that victory.

We've moved onto bigger and better things.
