Sports Rivalries

[Guest]

What are some famous sports rivalries, the ones where
even if the coach has a losing season, if his team
beats the rival he doesn't lose his job? I can think of:

Cowboys vs. Redskins
Red Sox vs. Yankees
Auburn vs. Alabama
Ohio State vs. Michigan

Others?

UNC vs. Duke (Basketball)
Syracuse vs. Johns Hopkins (Men's Lacrosse)
Eagles vs. Cowboys (NFL)
Minnesota vs. Minnesota-Duluth (Women's NCAA Ice Hockey)

Celtics vs. Lakers used to be a great rivalry, but beating the other
team is not enough to save your season in NBA hoops.

This is not specifically a US group. Please do not post puzzles whose
context is totally alien to anybody outside one particular nation among
many. I might just as well add Sussex vs. Kent, or Ipswich Town vs. Norwich
City to the above list. Would anybody in the US have heard of these teams
or even what sports they play?

Why the hell not? People post a lot of stuff here I don't care about; I
just ignore it. But just because I don't care about it doesn't mean
there aren't other people who do.

Go ahead and add them if you want. He didn't say specifically that they
had to be in the U.S.

When they ship styrofoam, what do they pack it in?

Scotland v. England (if only for the Scots)
Ireland v. England (if only for the Irish)
Australia v. England ...

Am I beginning to detect a pattern here?
