Speaking as a Cornellian (no sh*t... :-), I would have to vote against the
CU-Harvard rivalry as a truly great rivalry.  Simple fact is that Harvard
doesn't get nearly as whooped up about this as we do.  Now polo, *there's*
something a Cantab can get worked up for... :-)
 
While I'm here, I would put in a vote for the Cornell-BU rivalry of the
60's and 70's.  But I can't imagine what the Minnesota-Wisconsin games were
like in the 70's when they were effectively the only two contenders for the
national title year after year after year...

What this means quite simply is that Cornell will start the game with a 2
minute penalty.  Oh well, at least we have a lot of practice on comebacks
:-(.
