You make this point every time we play the Cowboys and I just don't get it. Michigan OSU is considered the greatest rivalry in sports. Why is it necessary to compare Cowboys Skins to Michigan OSU? Why can't they both be historically significant, still exciting rivalries? But if we are going to compare them, and your argument against Skins/Cowboys is going to be that one team has dominated the series recently and that the other team blows, HELLO, Michigan went 1-7 in the big ten and they've only beaten Ohio State once this entire decade. By your own standard that rivalry sucks more, matters less! (big clocks notwithstanding).
Redskins Cowboys is the one game that we can get excited about twice a year, even if the Skins are otherwise out of it. That's the whole point of a rivalry game, it transcends the circumstances of that particular season. It matters to fans of those teams, even if it's not important to the rest of the country. So rather than trying to rain on everyone's parade every time these two teams play each other, and making it your agenda to convince the world how much greater OSU/Mich is than Skins/Cowboys as a rivalry even though they have nothing to do with each other, how about instead getting excited like the rest of us?
