Great post, Steve. I think it would be cool to have a UCF - USF rivalry, because I graduated from both schools (UCF undergrad '97 & USF grad school '03). But I am a BULLS fan, through and through!!!!! But you are right that the players are the ones that determine rivalries to a large extent, just by the level of play against certain "hated" teams. If everyone (on BOTH sides) could just calm down & let the play on the field speak for itself, we may have an OOC rivalry developing before our very eyes. I would never count it as more important than our BE games, but we have to schedule some OOC games anyway, so why not stick to a popular in-state school for some friendly competition? Great thread, Jim!!!!! I look forward to meaningful discussion, free of the usual smack talk.
