So there are two assumptions out there:
1. Vidor thinks everyone is their rival,
2. No one thinks twice about, "cares about", or considers Vidor their rival.
As a pirate fan I love it. Strategically speaking, this would put us at a definite advantage in any given competition. Honestly, which mindset would you rather your players have?

By the way, I like the Redman vs Whiteman Bowl.

I don't think anyone's said that Vidor thinks everyone is their rival or that a team should overlook Vidor, especially not this year. I think all that's been said is that Vidor's so-called "rivalry" isn't really a rivalry. It's just Vidor hating Nederland more than the other teams on its schedule while Nederland looks at Vidor the same way as five its other district opponents.
[/quote]
To most people "hating" a team makes them your rival.
[/quote]

To most people, the other team hating you back makes them your rival.
[/quote]
Not really. Serena and Venus Williams love each other off the tennis court. But on the court they are fierce rivals.
[/quote]

We're not talking about tennis and siblings playing each other individually, we're talking about football and teams. Different situations.
[/quote]
It doesn't matter what the situation is. The definition of rivals are the same no matter what sport.
[/quote]

A rivalry implies mutual feelings between the involved parties. With siblings competing in an individual sport, that's much easier to establish and stems from their common backgrounds and circumstances. That's much harder to establish for football teams and schools in general. Nederland does not view Vidor in the same respect that Vidor views Nederland. Therefore, no rivalry exists.
[/quote]
This is just a continuing circle Bamakid. Your definition of rivaly's and my definition differ. I think it doesn't take both parties to think there is one for there to be one. If one team looks at another team as there rival then that is a rivalry IMO.
[/quote]

Maybe so.
[/quote]

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines rival as "one of two or more striving to reach or obtain something that only one can posses."  and rivalry as "the act of rivaling: the state of being a rival."  That to me is pretty clear that each party is an equal in this endeavor to obtain what the other wants.  So, if a team doesn't see you as a rival you are not equally invested in the outcome.  Therefore, there can be no rivalry.  I gotta side with Bamakid on this one.

P.S.  For all you Vidor fans, a dictionary is a big book that explains the meanings of words.  ;D

One of two or more striving to reach or obtain something that only one can posses. Aka two teams looking to get a win in a football game. Sounds like what happens every friday night so if you wanna go by that definition then each and every football team that plays each other can be considered a rivalry.

That is true, but we all know that every sporting event is not considered a rivalry.  So we have to imply that what truly makes a competition a rivalry is trying to obtain those bragging rights.  And if you don't consider a team your rival then you don't care about the bragging rights.

Bragging rights? Nice choice of words. But you gotta think doesn't every team play for bragging rights along with the win? I'm sure if a team beats another team they are gonna brag. That's just the way most teams are.

Personally I don't think so.  But that's just me.  I know when I play in softball or basketball leagues I want to win every game, but there are those games that seem like the wins mean so much more, and the losses are so crushing.  And I think that is essential for both teams to feel that way for it to be a true rivalry.

That doesn't make any sense. I have never met someone from PNG that wants to be like or be a Bulldog... PNG doesn't do anything like them either.

I personally like "Clash of the Ned Haters" or "Ned Haters United Bowl"

look vidor will always hate png and nerderland, in reality being from vidor i think that most vidor people are a little jealous of the fact that just about every year png and nederland are in the playoffs with a decent team and vidor makes the playoffs every 5 years or so, when i was in school we always got up to play png and nederland but never did i think that they felt the same way we did, vidor is the red head step child that nobody wants to play with, and vidor will never have a true rival cause it wants so bad to be rivals with png and nederland that it wont let any other school be rivals, such as lumberton, or lcm but at the end of the day friday vidor will still hate png and png will not really care either way

So there are two assumptions out there:
1. Vidor thinks everyone is their rival,
2. No one thinks twice about, "cares about", or considers Vidor their rival.
As a pirate fan I love it. Strategically speaking, this would put us at a definite advantage in any given competition. Honestly, which mindset would you rather your players have?

By the way, I like the Redman vs Whiteman Bowl.

I don't think anyone's said that Vidor thinks everyone is their rival or that a team should overlook Vidor, especially not this year. I think all that's been said is that Vidor's so-called "rivalry" isn't really a rivalry. It's just Vidor hating Nederland more than the other teams on its schedule while Nederland looks at Vidor the same way as five its other district opponents.

To most people "hating" a team makes them your rival.
[/quote]

To most people, the other team hating you back makes them your rival.
[/quote]
Not really. Serena and Venus Williams love each other off the tennis court. But on the court they are fierce rivals.
[/quote]

We're not talking about tennis and siblings playing each other individually, we're talking about football and teams. Different situations.
[/quote]
It doesn't matter what the situation is. The definition of rivals are the same no matter what sport.
[/quote]

A rivalry implies mutual feelings between the involved parties. With siblings competing in an individual sport, that's much easier to establish and stems from their common backgrounds and circumstances. That's much harder to establish for football teams and schools in general. Nederland does not view Vidor in the same respect that Vidor views Nederland. Therefore, no rivalry exists.
