Weird. I think the Duke/Maryland comparison fits perfectly, actually.
I honestly think Packer fans like to say they are kinda "meh" on the rivalry, because they know it sticks in Vikings fan's craws

I just don't know how anyone can say this isn't a pretty intense rivalry. Viking-Packer games are 10x more intense than any other game on the schedule (from a Viking's standpoint), IMO.

I realize that Vikings-Packers isn't the top rivalry for many Packer fans, and that's fine. But it's definitely a great rivalry. All time record is like 53-50 Packers, so it's not like it isn't competitive...
