NFF: Vote Leh/Laf or Harvard/Yale

[Lehigh Football Nation]

Time to get this survey pointed in the right direction. Please vote for the truly BEST Rivalries, preferably Lehigh/Lafayette:

http://www.footballfoundation.com/index.php

Please don't let that pansy rivalry, ND/USC, win. :)

[RichH2]

Vote early and vote often

[dbackjon]

Your up to 13. Voted for ya! :D

[carney2]

Please don't let that pansy rivalry, ND/USC, win.

That's not a rivalry. It's a marketing vehicle.

[Ivytalk]

I voted for H-Y.xthumbsupx

But I'll have to access another computer to vote again!

Notre Dame-USC? Sheesh!xsmhx

[ucdtim17]

ND-SC is leading because it is the premiere rivalry in college football. There's not even anything else to compare it to as an intersectional rivalry (esp. with two of the elite programs in CFB, if not THE two premiere programs)


Minn-Wisc ??? That's a rivalry? How is that on there and not Cal-Stanford?

[*****]

somehow Laf/Leh are now in second place!

[ngineer]

I tried but it wouldn't let me...Must not be based in Chicago...:D

USC-Notre Dame isn't even USC's biggest rivalry. UCLA is. I can think of tons of rivalry games I'd rather watch than USC-Notre Dame.

[Mr. C]

I'd put Montana-Montana State's Brawl of the Wild on there. In terms of competitiveness, you can't get better than Appalachian State-Furman or Delaware-Villanova.

[WUTNDITWAA]

I may take a beating for this, but I have to go with Army/Navy. xreadx

[Mr. C]

Nothing wrong with Army-Navy as a rivalry. I gave my vote for Lehigh-Lafayette, because I wanted to see an FCS team finish as strongly as possible.

[GeeWiz]

I'm sorry but a non-league game can NEVER be a bigger rivalry than a conference game. So USC-ND argument is ridiculous! xnonox

Yale-Harvard is meaningful since the Ivies cannot participate in FCS playoffs and it has often determined the Ivy Champion. But it hurts in that it's not televised nationally IMO (it is regionally in the NE). Army-Navy is at least for all to see.

To me it's Michigan-Ohio State. One of those two are ALWAYS in the Big-10 title hunt, have NFL caliber players of both sides, the fans really dislike each other and have great bands.

[WUTNDITWAA]

Very understandable.

WGN out of Chicago picks up the Harvard/Yale game each year. I've watched it each of the last two years, here in ol' Dixie.

[ucdtim17]

USC-Notre Dame isn't even USC's biggest rivalry. UCLA is. I can think of tons of rivalry games I'd rather watch than USC-Notre Dame.


That's ridiculous - go ask the SC fans and see what they say. They'll tell you ND is their peer and UCLA is their annoying little brother.

[ucdtim17]

Here's a nice little rundown for those who don't understand the ND-SC rivalry:

Yeah well that's the Tribune Co. that picks the game.

Put Yale-Harvard on NBC. If they can put Grambling-Southern on NBC certainly they could put on Yale-Harvard correct?

[WUTNDITWAA]

I'm a little surprised it's not on ESPN2 or the like.

[Mr. C]

That's ridiculous - go ask the SC fans and see what they say. They'll tell you ND is their peer and UCLA is their annoying little brother.
Call it ridiculous if you want, Having lived and worked in the L.A. area, I have seen how USC and UCLA fans feel about each other. The USC-UCLA usually has better games, too. USC was fuming pretty good when that "Annoying little brother" knocked it out of the BCS championship game this year.

Just because someone from Notre Dame says its so, doesn't make it so. I grew up in California, watching USC and UCLA meet with the Rose Bowl on the line. USC may be Notre Dame's biggest rival, but the reverse just isn't true.

[GeeWiz]

Here's a nice little rundown for those who don't understand the ND-SC rivalry:

If both teams have more than one loss and no shot of a National Title then this game is not compelling to me at all - other than some big games in the past ... Sorry.

Michigan-Notre Dame is more compelling IMO because they play early and always have title hopes right out of the gate - so the game takes on big meaning. ND-SC meet late and ND is usually out of it by then.

And let's not kid ourselves, before Pete Carroll, USC was nothing special to sh&t on UCLA. UCLA won their share of games vs. SC when Terry Donahue was coach.

[Maroon&White]

I would have voted Amherst/Williams, but since the poll was only for D1 I voted Army/Navy.

[dbackjon]

Another Lehigh-Lafayette vote from me, this time from home computer!

Doing my part to stuff the ballot box for Lehigh-Lafayette. Up to 61 votes, but still trailing USC-Notre Dame by 44 votes. Come on, folks! Let's all get out the vote.

[GeeWiz]

I have a friend who went to Lehigh and he used to try to get me to see the passion of the rivalry with Lafayette. Other than the fact it's the most played. I thought he was nuts.

But I just didn't see it quite like Harvard-Yale or Army-Navy.

If anyone else wants to add their two cents as to why they think this rivalry is so great, I'd love to read it.

... If anyone else wants to add their two cents as to why they think this rivalry is so great, I'd love to read it.It is known as THE RIVALRY

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rivalry_(college_football)
http://www.google.com/search?q=lafayette+lehigh+rivalry

[Mr. C]

I've been watching Lehigh-Lafayette for the past several years on TV and you can see a lot of passion in the crowds and also on the field. These teams really play hard against each other, which is one of the keys to a great rivalry. The past few years, since Frank Tavani has come in as Lafayette's head coach and reestablished the Leopards' program, the rivalry has jumped back up in intensity to what I understand it was like in the past. And then add the fact that it seems like this is the game that decides the Patriot League and has a lot of bearing on the playoffs and you have a major-league rivalry. It doesn't hurt that it's the granddaddy of all rivalries either.

[Mr. C]

There you go quoting Wikipedia again, Ralph. Travis is going to be all over you about that.

[*****]

There you go quoting Wikipedia again, Ralph. Travis is going to be all over you about that.Hey, that page had a I-AA.org article as reference! That's top notch!!! xnodx

[ucdtim17]

ND-SC, as the column said, has had more Heisman winners and more national champions than any other rivalry. Not to mention 5 of the 10 most-watched watched college football games of all-time. Harvard-Yale and Lehigh-Lafayette are great, but there's something to be said for 80-90,000 people in the stadium and everyone in the country watching on tv (As Pete Caroll said, "the epitome of college sport"). I'm sorry, it's just better.

And despite your experience in LA, I dare you to go ask the fans at wearesc.com who their main rival is. You and I both know the overwhelming majority will say ND. Why is ND-SC on every "Best Rivalry" list and SC-UCLA is never mentioned?

[ucdtim17]

As one of the SC fans commented on the article:

"As a Trojan alum, I've always tried to describe what makes the SC-ND rivalry so special and the UCLA rivalry so inferior by comparison. You summed it up best by saying it is an "unrequired rivalry."

[WUTNDITWAA]

There you go quoting Wikipedia again, Ralph. Travis is going to be all over you about that.


I think Wikipedia is okay to quote on a message board (never in anything formal) as long as you include the disclaimer, "This is from Wikipedia, so take it for what it's worth."

[Ivytalk]

I guess I've cast 3 of the 24 votes for Harvard-Yale. That's one-eighth of the ballots. Not quite South-Side Chicago, but not bad!;)

It's a great list though, isn't it? To me everything except Florida State-Miami and Minnesota-Wisconsin is legit.

Just counted 605 votes...whats that, maybe 20 people xlolx xlolx xlolx

No...I just find it hilarious people like ralph acting...untwist the panties and relax son. Just having some fun.

BTW, seems like you have never heard of the NFF but they are a big-time org in college football.

Sorry if trying to make the most-played and longest continuous rivalry the top choice disturbs you so much.

There's lots of reasons I could list, but the fact that a Lafayette fan is cheering a torn ACL/MCL of a Lehigh softball player shows the kind of passion (however sick it might be) there is between the two schools.

You can. There's a great book with tons of photos and factoids and tales of the Rivalry from the beginning through1995 (there may have been a supplement published a couple years ago). Authors are Todd Davidson & Bob Donchez and entitled: Legends of Lehigh Lafayette..College Football's Most-Played Rivalry
It may be out of print, but you can call 1-800-385-5684 (which translates into 1-800-FULL MUG), to check it out.xreadx

I thought Pardineers was pretty funny myself. Almost as good as when Otto Fad coined the term that combined Lehigh's old and new nicknames. Wasn't it something like Engineering Mountain Hawks, or something like that?

That poll probably had thousands of votes instead of the hundreds this one has received.

If Harvard - Yale and Lehigh - Lafayette can still be mentioned in the same poll as OSU - Michigan, Alabama - Auburn, and USC - UCLA that says a lot about their rivalry in today's media love fest with these programs. Unfortunately for these games, $$$ talks in today's football world, and they will continue to slide behind more and more of these Big Ten, SEC, Big 12 rivalries.
