Tale of Two Different Rivalries

Recently, a couple of games that will be played in October have caught my attention - and they couldn't be more different.  Texas and Oklahoma, have been playing since 1900, and if I remember correctly, they will be playing for the 112th time on 10/14.  What's most interesting about this next installment is that for the first time in 70 years (1947), both teams will have 1st year head coaches.  And these two guys now in charge, are putting together very nice classes for 2018 - even poaching a prospect or two from the other.  This has caused a war of words between their staffs on twitter.  The Big 12 must be excited with the prospect of these two major programs climbing and bringing the conference with them.

Meanwhile there is a budding rivalry between Louisville and Wake Forest, who play on 10/28, even though they have met only four times since the series started in 2007.  The "WakeyLeaks" scandal in which the Deacons radio analyst (and former asst. coach at WF) had been providing confidential gameday information to ACC teams since, but was only discovered last year by Wake Forest after the Louisville game.  Then reigning Heisman winner, Lamar Jackson, recently added fuel to the fire.  He was responding to a Sports Illustrated story where an anonymous ACC coach dismissed his chances in the NFL.  Jackson made reference to it being the Wake Forest head coach - who ironically contained Jackson last November with his defensive scheme.  

Seems to me like some bad blood will be spilled on the field during these two games...
