Rivalries

What does it take to constitute a rivalry? One of the two or three opponents that a team wants to beat each year? Probably. But one thing there has to be to make it a rivalry is a losses. Until the other team has beaten you a few times they don't really want to beat you.

Arkansas and Texas were a rivalry back in the old days, but it was somewhat one-sided. Arkansas wanted to beat Texas, but Texas wanted to beat Oklahoma. It wasn't an equal rivalry.
