Is FIRST missing something?

[Lil' Lavery]

I'll echo the comments about "friendly" rivalries being common, and rivalries with true animosity being relatively rare. There are a few, but it typically stems from mentors who dislike each other and usually doesn't directly impact too many students.

As for all this talk of 67 v 1114 being the most storied rivalry in FRC... hogwash I say! That's one terrifically entertaining match-up with a lot of recent history, but it's got nothing on Wildstang and Beatty.
Here's a partial list of their on the field meetings. A lot of it has been lost to the dusts of history. The fact that both attend Midwest virtually every year adds to the rivalry, whether they end up meeting against each other in the elims or not.
