Do you hate a state so much that you would rather die than let a doctor from that state save your life? Then this is the rivalry for you!

Last episode of the regular season, and the boys went out in style.

Come have a laugh with us for the last episode of the regular season, but stick around for we're far from done for the year. Enjoy the turkey and rivalry week, b...

With this many notable names, you know this rivalry is one for the ages. Join the W&W Boys and recurring guest Nathan as we talk about the Egg Bowl.

This trophy is definitely one of the most popular and prominent in the SEC - and for good reason. It wouldn't be a stretch to call this the gold standard, and it's creator is the mind behind many other awesome trophies (including one we already reviewed this season). Come with me, my fuzzy little man peach - pour yourself a little Bailey's and drink it out of a shoe as you learn about the boot. I'...

Yess, things move a little bit slower down in South Carolina, but the hatred still runs deep and burns hot. These two fan bases have hated each other before Clemson was even a school!

But we can't be too hard on the folks from Florida & Georgia - with the...

If at first you don't succeed, try again - and then try one more time. That's what the good folks of Oxford and Baton Rogue say, because buddy, the first couple tries at the Magnolia Bowl trophy died on the vine. The current iteration? See it in full bloom this Saturday, and catch this episode beforehand. Oh, and, uh, Mike talks about the third Saturday in October.

Whiskey Joe and Nick Doyle are back as we talk about THE college football rivalry that defined the 90s hailing from the sunshine state. We talk citrus fruits, crab legs, sketchy coaches and the sketchy players who played for them, and craziest Florida Man headlines. We also get side tracked talking stadiums and hockey but ultimately circle back to an awesome trophy to match an awesome rivalry. It'...

There's something about these rivalries that go back to the turn of the century, with the roots that run deep as an oak and loathing passed down from generation to generation. Rivalries mean more when they're built on decades of hate that burns hotter than a thousand suns, and they sure down get much older than this. Pair it with a nice cocktail with equal parts history, and MWAH *chef's kiss*

We always love when we get an alum to join us for their perspective on a rivalry, and our pal Jimmy did not disappoint. The hate is real between the Cards and the Cats - and please believe it starts well before basketball season tips off. This is a long one, so grab a mint julep of your own (add some brandy if you want to be like ol Teddy) and come hear the tale of the Governors Cup.

An age-old rivalry from a bygone conference renewed in the House That Jerry Built. WOO PIG SOOOOOOOOIE vs Midnight Yell (not a cult, btw)! This year's matchup is a bit more high-profile than previous iterations, but don't be fooled - no matter where these team rank, they always show up for the Southwest Classic.
