little brother syndrome

When one person feels they have a rivalry with another far superior person. The superior person usually doesn't know about it or feel that the little brother is any kind of a threat. The little brother usually puts forth maximum effort in meaningless situations in order to get the feeling of a win over his rival.

The Baltimore Raven's fans have little brother syndrome. They think they are the Redskin's rivals.
