There has been some debate recently if The Battle of the Legends Trophy (the annual game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Stanford Cardinal) is a real rivalry game.
Because the Stanford fanbase is the size of Bishop Dwenger High School’s fanbase — the debate is mostly fought between Irish fans. Some just refuse to see this as anything more than an annual matchup, while others claim that it has evolved into one of the better rivalry games in college football.
So take a listen to my hot take on the subject.
