The team in C-USA I like to beat the most is La Tech. After that, the hate goes down to WKU, UAB, Empty Sue and UTEP. But none of y'all are at VCU levels yet, that's for certain.

What's with the special treatment? Too lazy/not clever enough for the rest?

It shows what State y'all belong in.

Lol I'm joking, just trying to fuel the rivalry.

Kansas and Kentucky

I don't have names for them...

This is good. We need more hatred. The little stunt the students pulled out with the anti Floyd signs and then beating us in basketball has started moving the needle.

I think for UTEP are overall most heated rivalry is NMSU. Losing to them if FB has not happened for 7 straight but different story in mbb. We hate each other.

In the current C-USA I would say Rice in FB and UAB in mbb. UTSA is gaining traction and UNT is promising.

Was Louisville, then Memphis and ECU, Tulane was more of a consistency and not a rival. I would say we respect Marshall and not hate them, but enjoy the competition. LaTech once was and is starting to reinvent itself.

Was UCF and ECU, and now it's probably WKU and MTSU. So Miss is the only school we have played every year since 2005 in football so they are probably in there as well. And I can't forget UAB, they have upset us a few times in football and we have been screwed against them in basketball. So the hate was probably slowed by the football dismantling but last weekend made up for it.

Southern Miss & UAB.

USM has no rivals.

1. Muts
2. Marshall
3. UAB from the old SB days

Already don't much care for Tech, Tep, and Nitsu, but they are all in the West so don't see real rivalries developing with them. Empty bugs the crap out of me with the Tippers right behind. I would really like to see a rivalry with the Terd develop, but we are going to have to win some football games for that to happen. May take a while.

Right now it's most likely UNCC, but no real hate developing yet. That could change tonight.

Hope this helps set the tone.

UNCC and UAB have the greatest potential, although I'd love to have a rivalry with USM someday. They seem like the gold standard in this league. Marshall, WKU and MT are all so bland and nondescript it's hard to get excited about any of them, same with the Florida schools. FAU and FIU both sound like strip mall store front online rip off schools. Pretenders for sure.

every dadgum one of yaz as we hold hands

I think if there's any rivalry potential for ODU in the West, it is La Tech. They've got interesting characters flying their colors here on the boards, there is ancient WBB history, and we get wins over them in FB and MBB that must feel like papercuts on their finger joints.

I used to think maybe UTEP because we're the geographic bookends of this conference, but unless they keep landing cheap shots on our QB we will likely forget them.

Need more time. No rivalry yet.

You mean the preferential treatment that UAB (so says La Tech) gets in basketball hasn't vaulted UAB to La Tech's Enemy #1?
