Nice segment.

Edgy, how could you? No question that Rice and Marist is an intense rivalry, but they are in different conferences and do not play every year. From 2010 on, there have been two years where they didn't play, most recently in 2015. From 2000-2009, they faced each other like five times. Marist has been around since the early/mid 60s, and Rice is about 10 years older than that. They didn't even start playing each other until 1975 (when Rice and the CCL joined the IHSA), and there have been too many years where they didn't face each other at all for you to label them the best high school FB rivalry. Longevity has to be worth something.

Like what? MC and Loyola? Now MC and St Rita no question but MC and Loyola? Nope sorry also as I mentioned at the beginning of the segment several rivalries need to be revisited due to all the conference shakeups etx also to be fair I had roughly 5 minutes to determine that top 5 and had zero prep ahead of time FYI

No, not Loyola and MC. I wasn't suggesting that at all. Sure, it has been a hard fought game in recent years, but it lacks the geography element to be an intense high school rivalry worthy of recognition.

I think factors like longevity and geography need to be given almost equal weight.. Certainly, Rice and Marist have the geography thing going on, but so do Batavia and Geneva, plus they have the longevity thing. Same with New Trier and Evanston.

Just like Loyola and MC lack the geography element, Rice and Marist lack the longevity element.

That's fair....but I also didn't go with East Aurora West Aurora...one of the oldest on the books because it's been so one sided...also FYI 1975 was 43 years ago.....and that's a pretty long time ago...not as long as others but...

It’s not the longevity that should be the primary metric in my mind, but the INTENSITY!!

While I am happy Neuqua/Waubonsie made the finals list - I am sad they didn’t make either top 5.

I mean come on - when’s the last time Edgy came to a WV game - the 2016 WV/GBN game?? I guess we are just second fiddle these days with a tiny little conference no-one wants to talk about (except me & NapervilleBuck!)

No worries! Just goshin and giving you a jovial hard time! We might need you for the naperville Central game though! Every time you come out,.. good things happen when we are not supposed to win! The NC game I fear is not a good match up for WV this year (their strengths seem to be right where we struggle at times).

If Rice and Marist had played each other every year for the past 43 years, I 'd be fine with you selecting them as the top rivalry. But they haven't, and there have been significant stretches without games against each other. More recently, they haven't played each other in 08, 09, 10 and 15.

In the 80’s, there was no bigger rival to Brother Rice then St. Rita. Marist was never in the picture. Every sport at Rice hated Rita. What Happened to that Rivalry????

Trust me, Rita guys still hate Rice.

We're living the Batavia/Geneva rivalry and some of that starts real early during the feeder sports programs and escalates in high school.. On a good note, this game raises a ton of money for charitable purposes. Kudo's to both programs!!

Here's a downstate one.. It's been a little one sided lately, but not when I played..
Princeton vs Hall(Spring Valley)

Just my opinion from Beverly which has a good cross section of Southside CCL alumni no one likes Brother Rice. They are the Eddie Haskell's of High School football. Add MC DSL Marist to the list.
