RIVALRIES

Today is a big day in college football. Locally, it's the Brawl of the Wild (it's an old link, but it'll give you some good history), the 106th meeting of the Montana State Bobcats and the University of Montana Grizzlies. This has some major Div. 1-AA playoff implications (all levels of college football except Div. 1 have a playoff system). This game is being televised here in Montana, so I'll get to watch it.

Today is also the 45th Apple Cup (but 99th meeting), pitting the University of Washington Huskies against the Washington State Cougars.

Other games today include Auburn/Alabama, UNC/NC State, IN/Purdue, IA/MN, KS/KS State, Brown/Columbia and North Dakota State/South Dakota State, and Yale/Harvard.

Oh yeah . . . and there's that little swaree down in Columbus, OH featuring a couple of teams you may have heard of. Buckeyes? Wolverines?

Yeah, something like that.
