[QUOTE="stlrunner, post: 1690286, member: 6777"] Also...the key to a fun rivalry game is the fanbases and teams caring about the rivalry. I'm pretty sure Kentucky fans, or Louisville fans, etc. don't really think about Illinois much at all, and wouldn't really get into the rivalry. However...Missouri fans care about this game, and so many Illini fans are based in St. Louis area or the southern/central part of Illinois, that they definitely care. Even though it was by far the smallest Braggin Rights game I've been to, and there were barely any Mizzou fans (which was partly due to the Bowl Game...I mean...Mizzou had their alumni band at the basketball game...and they were not good) there this year...it was a fun atmosphere. And when the games are competitive and the crowds are 50/50...its an amazing environment. This game should go on forever. [/QUOTE]
