Rivalries develop on their own and don't have to be forced. It's like a joke that's funny...you don't have to explain it or sometimes can't explain it. If you have to explain it, it just isn't funny. I don't really know why, if this TU-WSU thing is such a big thing, why you need a fan-poll to pick out some cutesy name for it.

Hate to break it to you but Tulsa and Wichita State ARE traditional rivals.

Hey, don't knock it till you try it...

I came up with the Arkansas River Rivalry yesterday. Seems better.

WSU put together this special intro video for the WSU-TU game a couple of years ago. (Some might not know the programs have been playing each other once a season for the past seven or eight or whatever years.)

I know that... Which makes the "trying too hard" thing even more pointed. It diminishes their history and makes it look like two schools thrown together for the first time (like UCF and UConn).

I agree, i assume this is for corporate sponsorship though. Possibly a few extra shillings for our athletic departments. Probablly enough cash to cover both sides travel costs, which isn't saying much lol. But i would assume every little bit helps.

I think that it's just to help Tulsa fill up their arena so that there won't be so much black and yellow on television.

Probably the same way the other 49 states do.

Our ar-KAN-sas thing is dumb. We should get over it and just say AR-kan-saw like everyone else.

Actually if we stated our state like they do (phoenetically incorrect), our state would be pronounced Kansaw. Maybe they should pronounce their state Arkansaw.

Don't they already?

I assume you meant the other way around.
