The rivalry is big to ASU fans because Memphis for years was our Only active rival. We played a ton the last decade and a half, so for a lot of our younger alums, that is what we remember.
Most of our older rivals like La Tech and others have been defunct series for years now. Memphis just stopped our series. It's why our administration is trying so hard to turn the ULL game into a rivalry...because there's just no one on our schedule for our fans to hate right now, and thats a problem.
I know this will never happen, but say UALR had a football program. Would you guys be huge rivals?
UALR would never be our rival, no matter how many times we played them. Memphis will always be our main rival. App will never be a rival. Only Memphis and the Hogs, if they would ever play us.
A program you never play and haven't beaten in a game could never be considered a rival. Arkansas is no more a rival for State than LSU is a rival for UL in football. First you must play and second you must at least win enough games in the series for them to be considered a rival. You have two rivals in football, ULM and the Cajuns!
I would think recruiting the same area, would tend to make a rival.
While its true we compete with Arkansas a ton for recruits, the rivalry that exists is more at the institutional level than it is at the Athletic level. It's really the exact opposite of a rivalry in the term that we're used to it.

UPigg doesn't like playing Memphis anymore...
Memphis is:
3-2 against UPigg in football
10-11 in hoops.
They don't like competition.

I'm perfectly fine with it getting blanked, cause it's absolutely hysterical to me.
Also I love it when a flexbone team runs the rocket toss. It's my favorite play. Even more awesome is when it's used for play action.

I had us going 9-3 pre season...so I'm still thrilled...55,000+ there to watch an AAC game, amazing.
I now have us going 10-2 with a spot in the Birmingham Bowl against an SEC team. (Maybe an 11-2 finish)
AAC could now have 4 ranked teams.

Tiger High played really well today. I was really impressed with their 4th quarter defense.

I may be a bit slow here....but I don't get it...what is the origin of tigger high and why does Memphis hate it so much? It is funny how the entire phrase is blanked out like that.

10-0 in front of a crowd of 42k last night. Memphis is a very dirty team but I don't care, we came back and won. 10-0.. 10-0. 10-0. Feels so good typing that.
That being said, you Sun Belt guys would kill to have the football and basketball attendance and success Memphis has had.
