Biggest in-state rivalries?

[murksiderock]

Here in NC its Raleigh vs Charlotte; in my part of Cali its Sac vs The Bay but its also LA vs The Bay. What are the in-state rivalries in your state?

 

[King Poetic]

When it comes to LA vs The Bay it’s usually between white folks discussing the different lifestyles and the so called jealously

In football here it’s southern and grambling

 

[⠀X ⠀]

The Mets and The Yankees. They be set trippin’.

 

[NotAnFBIagent]

Auburn vs bama

 

[RickyDiBiase]

Louisville v Cincinatti

 

[How Sway?]

Chicago vs downstate illinois.

Downstaters are generally protestant Republicans who hate everything about the Chicagoland area. So much so that they want to succeed from the rest of illinois

Louisville v Cincinatti

Damn this really a thing? More than Cincy and Cleveland, or Cincy and Cbus?

Yup

Other than that it’s Michigan v Ohio and the rest of the Midwest hates Indiana outside of Naptown, Gary and Ft. Wayne.

I been to Indiana before (Edinburgh and Naptown); if I ever go again it'll be too soon. Such a sad state

I know a brother who lives in Texas now but he from Evansville, what you think about Evansville? How you feel about the rest of Kentucky?

And Is Louisville respected in the Midwest?

This is true. In NorCal black people are competitive about Sac and The Bay though. Really the whole Valley go for theirs, but mainly Sac.

Not state side Rivalry but over here in the UK it would be Manchester United V Manchester City Soccer/Football fans beefing

Definitely Michigan State vs. Michigan (UofM) where I am.

 

[murksiderock]

Lotta yall mentioning sports, I wasn't necessarily thinking along those lines...but in NorCal its eternally Niners vs Raiders, Giants vs A's. Actually I think this will die out in another generation or so (25-30 years), when you have a generation of adults who grew up without Oakland having a team.

The generation after mine already ain't as pressed on Niners/Raiders, as the ones before me, though it still exists.

In NC its definitely Carolina vs Duke. In SC its USC vs Clemson, in VA its UVA vs VA Tech.
