Biggest college rival in your state

[Californian Elitist]

I'm sure everyone's got a major college rival in their home state or the state they currently reside in. I'd like to hear about them!

The biggest rivals in my state, I think, are University of Southern California (USC) and University of California: Los Angeles (UCLA). There's been a war between these two for years, and I must say, it's interesting to watch. The most recent prank involved some USC students going up to UCLA and spraying red and yellow (red and gold are USC's school colors) spray paint on the "L" and "A", with a big "S" between "U" and "C".

UCLA responded by getting some students to arrange their dorm windows to read "F*** SC"

Some other pranks thrown in, some USC students vandalized the bruin bear mascot on UCLA's campus:

UCLA did the same with USC's Trojan mascot and got a helicopter to fly over the Trojan statue and dump manure on it. After that incident, USC decided to cover the statue with duct tape for a while:

USC has its own "bash UCLA" clothing line called "Don't Bruin Your Life", an obvious insult towards the bruin bear, UCLA's mascot.

Here's the site, if you're interested in buying, LOL: http://www.dontbruinyourlife.net/

So, how about you guys? I'd love to hear about any pranks or things like that.

Maryland vs. Duke seems to be a big rivalry. We're too small of a state to have rivalries between colleges in our own state.

Alabama vs. Auburn

Providence College vs URI

Although they haven't played each other in years in football.

Michigan State and University of Michigan or "the other school" as we like to call it.

There used to be a Rutgers v. Princeton rivalry that is so old it involves stealing each other's cannons. Now the 2 schools have gone in different directions so I doubt it is still in effect.

The new rival is that college that started pelting our basketball players with balls during a practice while screaming obscenities at them. Wait... actually that was our coach. Nevermind...

Ohio State/University of Michigan!

UW-Madison (better know simply as "Wisconsin"), has many rivals in the Big Ten (Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan St, Iowa, Penn St, etc). The biggest rivalry in state is probably UW-Milwaukee and Marquette.

I don't live near either of those two universities, so I don't know the full effects.

UK and IU is really big in our area.

Not that I care

Michigan and Ohio State for sure -- there's a friendly rivalry between Michigan and Michigan State, but in reality, it is nothing compared to the hatred between Michigan and Ohio State...

I think all Big Ten teams have a strong hatred for Ohio State. I know Wisconsin does.
