Hello Cubs Fans,

Thanks to the help of message board members beginning in 2014, we—the students and professors of the Know Rivalry Project—began answering this question and others related to rivalry in the MLB. Please help us update our results to ensure that the Chicago Cubs are included by taking 9 minutes to complete our newest survey:

https://umassamherst.co1.qualtrics.com/ ... grpID=1368

We want to start the rivalry discussion here. Additionally, fan data helps us to study rivalries that exist between teams, players and fans.

Our previous results have been featured in numerous sports media outlets, as well as the Wall Street Journal and New York Times. You can view those results, links to media coverage, and learn more about us at our KnowRivalry.com website BUT we'd prefer you didn't until you completed the survey via the link above... we don't want to influence your opinions provided in the survey.

We use the Qualtrics online survey software for data collection. This academic research has been approved by two US universities' Institutional Review Boards (IRB) and it poses zero risks to respondents. You'll find further information on the disclosure agreement that is required to start the survey. Thank you for helping us to include the Chicago Cubs by participating and please feel free to share this with any other fans that may also help.

Use Qualtrics to collect my nuts.

How did you come up with 9 minutes?

It's oddly specific.

What if I want to take more time? Can I do that?

What if I complete it too quickly? Will you feel I haven't taken sufficient time to reflect and disqualify my entry?

What if I never click that link because God knows what kind of pandemic it might unleash on my computer?

Who are Northern Kentucky's rivals? Southern Kentucky? Western? Eastern?

Is Kentucky potentially looking to leave the Union? And trying to identify potential enemies? Wouldn't that be a better thesis? I mean, personally, for me, which is what personally means, for me, I would find that far more fascinating. The potential for Kentucky to exist as its own sovereign state being completely surrounded by another like the Kingdom of Lesotho is far more interesting.

But, whatever. Cardinals.

Here's another option to look into -

Why are Mexican tax laws so strictly regulated on a monthly basis?

Why do they make it so difícil to provide the detail on cost of goods sold calculations? Will Kentucky require that level of oversight when they are an enclaved nation?

I'm too tired to let Qualtrics collect tracking data on me, so I will just answer here:

Cardinals
Brewers
White Sox
If you are over 60, maybe still the Mets

Seems like the players hate the Reds the most.
