WP:NRIVALRY says "Sports rivalries are not inherently notable" and defers to WP:GNG. GNG states "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." Rivalry is not establish via current citations. There is some routine coverage in some search results showing slight, but not significant (or national), coverage. WP:TOOSOON.

 * Comment. This article is a recreation of an article previously deleted at AfD in December 2014, see here. Ejgreen77 (talk) 11:03, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Nice catch, thank you. While WP:G4 applies re speedy deletion, this might be headed to WP:SNOW anyhow. Probably not worth the effort to delist and go G4. UW Dawgs (talk) 13:12, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment The article calls this the Battle of the Bone. Is there an actual bone (or a golden bone, or something) as a trophy or is that just a pun on "Bulldogs"? Trophy rivalries, especially ones with such an unusual trophy (see also Old Brass Spittoon and Floyd of Rosedale), are generally notable, but the article gives no indication that this is the case.

 * Delete - Run of the mill minor sports competitive rivalry of two teams from different geographical regions who have played 13 times in all. There is a threshold for rivalry pieces, a know-it-when-ya-see-it sort of deal; this fall short, in my opinion. Carrite (talk) 15:41, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
