In a conversation between Jeff Long and Jim Sterk the two ADs of rival schools were able to cover a lot of topics, but this line stood out:
I’m not sure Long fully understands the rivalry if he’s talking about sportsmanship. We can all shake hands afterwards... but that’s the extent of the sportsmanship. I mean the rivalry started with murder and fire... we’re not stopping that train.
The good news is both ADs said there will be more games added in more sports, which I think fans on both sides (whether they admit or not) will be happy to hear it.
