It’s better than Bridger’s Rifle. Can we just burn that one?

But I hate the idea of contriving rivalries based on exactly zero history between the teams. Isn’t a rivalry supposed to be based on history?

Lame. Another manufactured, corporate 'rivalry' trophy. Also, doesn't even make sense, physiographically. Which Wyoming basin is battling North Dakota's one producing basin? And, why would basins even fight? They whole thing is just nonsensical on it's face, and on every meta level.

I’m predicting Wyoming gets drilled in this one.

I agree with you on the basing thing. We have the Powder River Basin, Big Horn Basin, Wind River Basin, Green River Basin and DJ Basin that all produce significant amounts of oil and gas. Which one is it!?!?

Hopefully not one of the new 4 mile horizontal laterals being drilled in North Dakota.

Without lubrication!

Should be a trophy of Craig Bohl’s bald head or something
