I kid, I kid. They know who we are, we beat them in basketball not too long ago. If marketed properly, I think a football rivalry between USF and the University of Texas, could become a major tv ratings generator. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say we would be on par with them. Just that it could be a really interesting match-up with the right marketing and circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, ya it could be a fun matchup. I would certainly watch. I should have clarified better. I did not mean to imply the matchup would get the ratings of a Michigan and Ohio State type of rivalry. I just thought if USF can stay competitive, the similar brands and corresponding locations could develop a nationally appealing-albeit obviously far from elite early on-rivalry if promoted well enough.

Not sure Texas would feel the same way, which is why rivalry is a poor word to describe this matchup. We would be their mid-level non-conference game. Essentially, we'd be their FAU.

Play a nationally recognized team like UT (or OU or any big time program) when they have a something like a conference champonship or national championship on the line and there would naturally be a lot of interest. It may not be there for first year, but win one in the first couple of years and play at high level in meaningful games and viewers will watch. Right now USF has little interest outside of our core group of fans. The games, in the beginning, would have to be the draw. Win a few meaningful ones and we would be on the map.
