"Rivalry"

I am on old guy but I don't live in the past like some do. cats have owned us recently...today that changes and we kick their scats all over the field. Anybody who does not think this is a rivalry no matter what the overall record is not paying attention...new streak starts today. Don't know if it is true but someone said Ifonse was limping badly getting off the bus in Butte.

No rivalry at all... It's a competition for some odd reason in the last 18 years, tied at 9-9 as mentioned, but it's not a rivalry in any sense of the word.

When one team is ahead by 31 games, it's not even close.

We all have our own definitions, but it doesn't meet the actual term.

If the Griz win the next 9 and the gap becomes 40 games, will you still say it's a rivalry?

ahem, 9-8 (2011 was vacated for cheating) :thumb:

I have heard, maybe speculation, that the Griz would never go Independent or to the 1-A, forever ditching the worthless conference, unless JUCO also went because of the "Rivalry"...

Ok. Fair enough. When it's an actual Rivalry.

Alabama / Auburn... 47 to 37
Michigan / OSU... 58 to 51
Florida / Florida St... 36 to 26

Etc... Those can be called legit rivalries.

For me, When the Junior College of Kitten Knitters wins to the point their deficit is only 10 games as opposed to the current 31 games, I will listen... That, or they tie the winning streak of 16.

I didn't even know they had a message board of humans until a few weeks ago, that's how big the "rivalry" is...
So do we not have a rivalry with Idaho? By your definition apparently not.

Only a Knitten or a Liberal would bring that up when it had nothing to do with anything on the field.

No. Especially because Griz fans that just graduated HS have only seen 3 games between the two.

hell yes I will. try and tell coke and pepsi they don't have a rivalry because coke continues to outsell pepsi every year. Every year no matter the other teams record the battle for state bragging rights will be fought. I just looked the definition of rivalry up and certainly meets it..competition for the same objective or for superiority in the same field.

going back to like 1956 it is 33-31 so how is that not a rivalry?

If it was 33-31 back then, that meets the definition. I have explained that from my first post.

Coke and Pepsi are only a rivalry to people that pick Coke or Pepsi... The actual Corporations are owned by the same exact people, that being Blackrock, Vanguard and State Street.

Bragging rights is a whole different term.

going from 1956-2019 it is like 33-31. what more could you want for a rivalry?

Why do you start there? Why not just say the last 18 tied at 9-9?

Why not include the previous 58 years?

Ok. Must be Liberal slang. I don't know what that means.

Tazmanian Devil?

Must be a mental block you have :thumb:

I guess it's a Knitten thing or something for 14 year old's. I'll ask my Niece and Nephew, but I have never had that term hurled at me by an Adult.

What is a Taz if not for the cartoon character?

By definition ..

rivalry
noun [ C or U ]
US /ˈraɪ.vəl.ri/ UK /ˈraɪ.vəl.ri/

C2
a situation in which people, businesses, etc. compete with each other for the same thing:



Nothing said about specific numbers.
 
He didn't say Tase.

He said Taz.

I tried repeatedly to get him to say "I meant Don't Tase me Bro", meaning he would intellectually realize his language was wrong. I was giving the Knitten a chance, at which he failed miserably.

Then I thought he quite possibly may have never heard of the cartoon character because of his younger age ??? , and maybe Taz has been cancelled by the Left for making noise or something.

Am I just being an Ass?

Yes.
