College football has some big rivalries. Ohio State versus Michigan. Texas versus Oklahoma and Army versus Navy, just to name a few. But one of the all time biggest rivalries may actually go down in division three, right in our own back yards. Our Vince Slomsky was at the fifty first annual Cortaca Jug and brings us all the excitement from the stands.

"It's a pretty intense rivalry, very 'festic' event," said Alex Cano, an Ithaca College junior.

"It means a lot. It means everything. Cortaca Jug means everything at C-State," said Jessica Roth, a SUNY Cortland senior.

It was once referred to as the biggest little game in the nation by Sports Illustrated. Judging by the size of the crowd of more than 10,000 at Butterfield Stadium in Ithaca, it's anything but little.

"I've come to all the home games so far and there's never been this many people here, it's crazy," said Abbey Langdon, an Ithaca College freshman.

Down on the field there's a huge game being played by both schools, but up in the stands and all around campus it's a huge party for everyone.

"We partied a lot! I mean we've been drinking since eight o'clock in the morning. We had a bar party at Tavern," said one SUNY Cortland senior.

"There's a very large amount of alcohol consumed in this general area, this entire campus, I think the entire Cortland campus," said Cano.

With so many spirited fans all in one place, it can get a little wild, but even the police understand.

"Let them have fun. They are here for a good time, why cause anymore problems. If somebody's doing something that's going to be harmful to someone else or to themselves we do intervene. Other than that we just let them do it," said Sgt. Steven Yaple, and Ithaca College Police Officer.

As the final seconds ticked away, Ithaca celebrated another victory, this time by a final score of 23 to 20 and while the Bombers hold bragging rights for another year, it won't be long before the countdown begins to the next biggest little game in the nation.

Ithaca College now leads the all-time series between the two schools 34 to 17. There is no word yet from Ithaca College Police on how many arrests were made this year.
