I mean it's a rivalry, but it's very lopsided. It's kinda like UT/Vandy. People call it a rivalry, but when the other team has 30+ more wins than the other can you really call it a rivalry rivalry? I think it's a rivalry more for the fact that the 2 schools are within a stones throw of the other and a lot of the folks are probably related etc. Going by the record in the overall history it isn't much of a rivalry in my book. Their has to be prolonged competitiveness over a long period of time. Not just close games, but wins for both teams.
