A rivalry, to be genuine, has to be felt on both sides. Unfortunately, we have very little history with Columbia, but a rivalry could develop. We do have long histories with Holy Cross and Georgetown. But HC's historical football rival was BC, and many Crusader faithful have a hard time letting go. I think we are more of a respected opponent than a genuine rival to HC. I don't see us ever replacing BC in their hearts and minds. (NT) JoltinJoe 07:33:36 04/28/05 Thu

I'd like to see Georgetown step it up in football. The Hoyas are much like us. Most of their historical rivals have either ceased playing football, or still play major college football. There is great potential there, so we should wish the Hoyas well with their new stadium, and hope that they soon contend in the PL. (NT) -- JoltinJoe, 07:35:00 04/28/05 Thu
In '72 the Daily News back page reports 'LIONS 44-CHRISTIANS-0" and to me and many, that was a start of a rivalry. Today one of the most looked forward-to games at CU is FU. I think there is a Rivalry on both sides. (NT) -- RamRay, 07:06:46 05/11/05 Wed
