It makes for quite a rivalry. The above, of course, is NCAA, which is what most people pay attention to. However, I went to a small state college (full-time enrollment = 2700) in southern Oregon called Oregon Institute of Technology (OIT) that was NAIA conference. THE Game down there was: OIT -- SOSC (Southern Oregon State College) After losing heavily for a number of years (they didn't even score until the fourth game my first year in college), OIT began making a comeback. In 1979, OIT was undefeated (best record on the west coast that year) going into the homecoming game with SOSC. Up to that day, OIT had not won a football game against SOSC in 21 games in 18 years. Needless to say, the town of Klamath Falls was pumped. The mayor proclaimed the day, "Beat Southern Oregon State Day." Of course, we won. It snowed, it rained, and it blew, but OIT hammered SOSC into the ground with an embarrasing 45 - 14 win. There was a hot time in the old town that night.
