The Yahoo! Sports article is a rehash of an SBNAtion.com user-submitted blog piece -- not a reliable source per
WP:RS. Yahoo often recycles user-submitted material from affiliated sports blogs because it's free content. Beware: not professional sports writers or journalists. If I'm using user-submitted blogs, I can find several sources that say every Division FBS game series is a "rivalry." Our standard is a little higher than that.

Keep but agree with commenter: way too recentist. The history goes much, much further back. However, we have to start somewhere. Let's see if we can get this expanded before we delete. --

Note:
Esprqii and I have each added substantial content and sources to the article
[1], which now, in my opinion, clearly demonstrates the notability of this old rivalry. --

Comment - I have not had the time to do the
WP:BEFORE due diligence required to determine the notability of the Stanford-USC game series as a rivalry, but per
WP:NRIVALRY, no sports rivalry is inherently notable, and every sports "rivalry" must satisfy the general notability guidelines per
WP:GNG. That means significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources explicitly covering the series as a rivalry, not merely as a recurring game series.
