I don't think it's a stupid idea...anything that fuels any rivalry is fine by me, and like a few people have pointed out, it's a localized thing, college football teams do it all the time and it adds a little fun. That being said, it seems like they should make the series 7 games or 5 games, would be kinda funny to see the first 5 or so years of it's inception go to no one because of a split!
