I owe my career to this game. I was in the stands, and as I was leaving, the students were chanting "Yankees suck!"
Wrong sport / season / level / state.
That behavior was fascinating, and it helped lead me to study @KnowRivalry.
Happy 20th anniversary to all those who celebrate teapaw.org/CMGIField/status/18662…

Thankfully @KnowRivalry has this type of data for everybody to see! I love this whole debate about rivalries in MLS - check out the great data available thanks to @DrBDT @joebcobbs

I can't believe I spent almost a week in Idaho (left this morning) and DIDN'T see this.
The best I got was this vintage poster.

MLB will have a "Rivalry Week" in 2025, during which all fifteen series matchups will feature some form of rivalry -- geographical (NY/NY, LA/LA etc), historical (Bos/Atl), or the last two left without a lab partner (Sea/SD)

Will realignment impact the @KnowRivalry 'spatial proximity' ingredient to rivalry? As @jrabyap pointed out well, we will find out over the next few years. Appreciate his analysis of the travel impact and including us (@DrBDT) and @chavardphd in the conversation for @AP_Sports.
Longer trips will soon be the norm in college football.
How long? A one-way flight involving Oregon and Rutgers in the new Big Ten is more than five hours by plane.

If @EASPORTS wants to access fans' perspective of these CFB rivalries, I have an idea as to where to get the data... @KnowRivalry !
NEW EXTRA POINTS:
In addition to stadium scans, musical assets, helmet stickers and more, EA Sports is also asking schools to submit rivalry game information for next year's video game.

#Wyoming Cowboys - #Colorado State Rams. The 2 rivals play The Border War. They first met in 1899. In 1968, the rivalry awarded the Bronze Boot, a size 8 boot worn by CSU alum Capt. Dan Romero Sr, Vietnam War veteran. #CollegeFootball @ClintKPoppe

With first next-gen rivalry game now played, @BrendanRMarks points to ongoing factors aligning well w/ @KnowRivalry's research:
Geo prox = Spatial prox;
High-level Bball = Competitive;
Obj of hate = Conspicuous characters;
Longevity = Consistency;
Respect = synonymous values
No Coach K. No Roy. (No love lost.)
What's next for the Duke-UNC rivalry, with tonight's game on tap?

Just gave my first @neo4j conference pres! #NODES2022
@joebcobbs & I presented on the challenges of modeling sport league structures and how we do it in the @KnowRivalry database (#KRDb).
In short:
Hierarchies are a pain (esp in SQL)
Sports are weird
Use intermediary nodes

Thanks for posting; first, I thought of paper by @DrSportBusiness and @ProfCBee but Vassilis was ahead of me (as usual!). To extend, it seems important to activate in an authentic (citing you) manner that shows appreciation for the rivalry (when such sponsorship is salient).

This looks amazing.
@joebcobbs - This could be a useful tool as the @KnowRivalry Project looks more at consumer brand rivalry.
This online grocery store seems like an incredible tool for researchers. Can't wait to try it! Wish we had that in 2000 @chrismoorman when I clumsily programmed a grocery store. Thanks for making it #Openscience Holly Howe @peterubel Gavan Fitzsimmons

Just listened to this @HiddenBrain episode this morning and I highly recommend to sport marketers and event managers. Since co-founding @KnowRivalry, I've followed @profcikara's insightful research re in/out group effects but the personal stories she shares add keen context.
Have you ever been surprised by your own behavior?
When we’re in group settings, we can act in ways that surprise us. This week, a conversation with @profcikara about what happens when our group identity takes over our individual identity.

Looking forward to this #neo4j and @KnowRivalry live session later this week. With @DrBDT leading the discussion of how/why we transitioned our survey and archival research data, I'll undoubtedly learn a bit myself too!
