State against State ... mate against mate ....

"State of Origin Football" - New South Wales V Queensland - best of 3 games in Rugby League.

Players, come back and play for the state they first played senior football in - where they were young teenagers. Regardless of what club they play for - so you have players who play in the same team, belting each other on different sides ...... its AWESOME!!!!!

Amen, ejr :D

Remember in high school how "your" team always had the big "cross town rivalry" with another team? At my school, our mascot was the Indians. The week we played our big rival was "Spirit Week" (and I guess Homecoming week, too...the memory is a feeble thing....) on that Friday, we'd paint our faces blue and gold (the school colors) and have a Pep Rally assembly, and everyone got, like, all riled up fer sher!

Have to go with the Chiefs/Raiders or the Chiefs/Broncos.

Most people here in KC (and I'm sure the rest of the AFC West) are known as "Raider Haters"

And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
You're love's put me at the top of the world

I'm not sure what I was thinking when I made this poll...If a mod wants to correct that, then by all means go ahead.

Sometimes more than others,
we see who and what and where we are,
I'm just a one man band,
With my feet in the sand,
Tonight I just need my guitar

No problem, the way "Dollar Bill" Worst has handled the Blackeyehawks, they do not deserve to be in that group anyway
