There are a lot of folks out there who want to poke fun at Farmageddon.  I can see their point.

• Is it a completely manufactured rivalry concocted by people trying to make a quick buck?  Yes.
• Are the schools even remotely 'rivals'?  No.
• Can a game between these two teams generate enough interest to fill an NFL stadium even under the best circumstances?  Hell no.
• Will there be more empty seats than occupied ones?  Maybe.
  
• Does a game like this deserve a moniker as ridiculous as "Farmageddon"?  Absolutely.
  

But for everyone poking fun at this game, I have only one retort.

Suck it, city folk.  Country girls put out.  Mainly because there's nothing else better to do, but whatever.
