Slightly dated but a good mix of rivalry hate.

How dare you besmirch this storied series. Let me enlighten you, bub. Did you know the CONNflict:    Dates back more than 3 years? This makes it the 179th oldest rivalry in college football.

I think I get what Army is saying...while one can qualify a rivalry such as a friendly rivalry...I think a necessary ingredient is the passion that mentioning the rival  brings out in fans. The one who mustn't be named, like it or not (CJL), has always evoked a strong gag reflex, even when we hadnt played much football against one another or the series was very much one sided. 

If I had to pinpoint the reasons for the rivalry, it most likely has to do with proximity, competing for the same resources, players, students, carry over from high school rivals etc. Growing up in Tampa I have plenty of friends and family that made the mistake (lol) of choosing the wrong Mikey mouse school.

I thought it ridiculous to call it a rivalry when we deathpunched them four games straight.  That should have ended any speculation. Thankfully, I suppose, we lost a couple to them and opened the door.

So I guess every freakin time we play them we're getting this WOI4 stuff .... From an email:

Men's Soccer Ready for War on I-4 Saturday PREVIEW: Six points are on the line for the War on I-4 rivalry Saturday in the University of South Florida men's soccer conference opener at UCF. The Bulls will play a 7 p.m. nightcap, in its first American Athletic Conference match-up of the season, and the first War on I-4 soccer showdown at UCF Soccer and Track Complex.

 

It's old already ...

You may need to start following North Florida. Rivalries boost attendance, TV opportunities, general interest. 

Will you ever leave the bubble of Hillsborough County to see a  USiF/UCiF game? If so, I will provide my personal protection services, and with honor.

Think it's more about the gimmicky name. My jury's still out--I'm good with the rivalry, but the whole "war" thing is a little "meh" to me outside of football.

That's exactly it .... besides neither one being near I-4, it's sports and there's no need to glorify war with a name like that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The last bit was just to humor Duckhead since no one had played the pc card yet and didn't want him disappointed.
