Everyone loves rivalries in sports.
They incite heavy interest and emotion amongst the fans.
They give the media and television networks appealing storylines to pursue from a promotional standpoint.
And whether the rivalries actually exist in the minds of the athletes or it is simply a matter of the participants knowing that a particular game or match is receiving more attention than usual, the on-field competition tends to reach a whole new level when rivals face off against one another.
Rivalries are easy to identify and become emotionally involved in when it comes to team sports.
North Carolina and Duke face off against one another at least twice per year on the hardwood.
The Red Sox and Yankees play numerous games against one another during the course of the season.
Ohio St. vs. Michigan is an event that rivals few others each and every autumn.
