WAR on I-4

[Gismo]

Trophy can be the interstate 4-0 sign until we lose then we'll need a new one.

[Triple B]

The idea of a trophy for the winner of this game is hilarious. Who really cares outside of UCiF and a few USF fans?

Let the teams play. I am flying out to see USF play Mich State. I am not flying out to see a USF-UCiF matchup.

Please, let's not shape our existence on beating a team no one else cares about. They are a conference foe and that's it.

We need to get bigger fish in the fryer or change business model and clients (fans).

maybe you could help the OP understand this.

 

 

And the current USF coach and the USF AD and the conference commissioner, the media, bloggers, fans on both sides, etc... Lots of explaining to do to many people. Ever think you are in the minority? Check back in a year when UCF is the nearest conference member and the numbers of students and local fans of each school going to games in every sport at the other;s facility is among the highest in the conference  due to proximity. And when UCF and USF start competing at every sport and start knocking the other out of the conference championship races, in huge numbers, at the opponent's venue,  that's just going to deepen it.

 

Everything you're yapping about is in the future. Like Brad said, quit trying to force it. It will come if it's a big a lock as you think it is (and it probably will) ... It's been tried to be forced on us for a decade by the buttmunches over there and that's probably why the resistance from some here. If you feel that strongly, head over to their Rivals board and see if you can drum up somebody there to take your idea for the Silver Highway Cone Trophy and run with it NOW. Hell, the game is still 3 freaking months away. We, and they, have some awesome ooc games and the bulk of the conference to get through. You'll probably even find more support here as the game gets closer ...

 

3 whole months? To find someone to sponsor it and get either admins or alumni from both schools involved?  Oh, and fund, design and build it. Plenty of time.

Maybe they can get the one who designed and built the UF-FSU or UM-FSU trophy to get it done quickly when the time comes ...

FSU/Miami has the Seminole War Canoe. UM/UF/FSU play for the Florida Cup, one of two three-way awards, the other being the Commander In Chief Trophy given between the military academies.

 

Still trying to figure out why a trophy is needed. If you need a clever name, trophy, and marketing pitch, that's because the game doesn't sell itself. So if you truly believe USF-UCF is or will be a real rivalry, this shouldn't concern you.

 

 

I get that some don't understand tradition. But what I can't understand is why they have to piss on those of us that do.

Link? ... and how can you have a three-way award when 2 of the teams don't play each other??

EDIT: UF/Miami HAD the war canoe until they stopped playing regularly in 1987 ... It now rests in the UM Sports HOF.

I think plenty understand tradition but understand it's not something forced, or rushed into existence, like what you're trying to do NOW ...

The FSU-Miami War Canoe was made by Seminole Indians in the 50s. I bet they aren't available. The UF/UM/FSU trophy is sponsored by the state. How long do you think it takes to get the state to do a trophy?

 

 

I still believe that the UM - USF (and then FSU - USF game) - are far more important for us to focus on. Both of those games will bring in more fans, revenue, and exposure. We need to beat UCiF (along with every other conference foe), and look ahead to bigger and better deals. 

 

Rutgers and Louisville didn't need to market themselves with a companion school to get into a better conference. We really don't need UCiF to get ahead. 

 

This is not that. Its not a marketing campaign, its tradition. BTW Louisville plays for AT LEAST two trophies in rivalry games, Keg of Nails and the Governor's Cup.

The link is www.google.com. And obviously there are some on here that don't think its forced. You don't speak for EVERYONE.
