I find this amusing .. some truth, some sour grapes. Probably needs some correction!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburgh_Panthers#Rivalries
Also in 2005, Marquette University joined the Big East Conference. Though Marquette had beaten Pitt in the 2003 NCAA Tournament, a rivalry was not born until the two teams played each other twice in the 2005-06 season, with the home team closely taking both games. The next season, Marquette won at Pitt in an overtime game both sides agreed was marred by terrible officiating. Marquette won the rematch in Wisconsin, but Pitt avenged both losses in the Big East Tournament. Both schools have grown to dislike each other immensely after just five Big East games.
funny.. the "both sides agreed was marred by terrible officiating" has already been removed.
Would be nice to have the 4-2 record prominently mentioned :D
I also want to know who keeps putting UW@Milwaukee as a rivalry with Marquette. I am sick of taking it out all of the time.

yeah, that's silly. i was in on editing that out a few yrs ago, but some Panther zealot insists on including it even though MU has played them a fraction of the times we've played DePaul, ND, or Wisconsin.

I also think you need to win a few games for it to be a rivalry. Being in the same city doesn't count. Or else MSOE would be a heated one too!
clearly the students at uwm need an education about how rivalries work.

Yeah, that was me. Did not have time to add anything, but that ticked me off.
