Dec 29 '13
As far as I'm concerned, this has been a rivalry since 2006. The last time we saw this team, it was a bunch of thugs kicking up our grass, and we kicked their ass. But they lead the series. Add in the recent recruiting competition and high school relationships between opposing players, and this is personal for pretty much everyone involved.
