First off forgive spelling never could spell never will....
Now what is it with declaring a school a rivalry CU came out beginning of the season made public announcement that CSU is not a Rivalry. Nebraska does not count CU as a rival. OU and CU are suposed to be rivals... and there are a ton more I supose but I just know CU's off top of my head.

What makes a Rival? Air Force and Navy are the embodiment of a rivalry. No one desputes, but what makes that a rival where CU-CSU is not. Heck, fans got tear-gassed when CSU won for first time in heck ofa long time(I was there.) Players get into it more then usual game. CU looks towards Nebraska every year and that game sells out in first half hour of ticket sells.
So I ask again: what makes a Rival? And why wont CU acknowledge CSU or Nebraska acknowledge CU? If OU is a Rival why is that always a lackluster game it seems??
