that our rivalry will continue-

@AStateNation
Per source, Arkansas State and UALR have agreed upon a 4-year, 4-game contract beginning next season in Jonesboro.

Not clear, but it apparently refers to men's basketball. Appears we will meet once a year, switching home sites. Maybe with some promotion and sponsorship, it could eventually become a big deal since the winner has bragging rights for a full year.

We need to get a sponsor to agree to jump in so the rivalry trophy can be used for the Jonesboro games too now, not just the LR games.

Glad the series is continuing. I am expecting to see you guys on the schedule in basically every sport going forward. If anything, it makes scheduling OOC easier for us.

We have it. The trophy was annually given out to the winner of the game played in Little Rock between the two teams. Since we played twice a year the agreement was whoever won the Little Rock meeting got the trophy. We won the last meeting in LR in 2021.

What I'm saying is that we need to get an agreement to let the trophy be used for both Jonesboro and LR now since we're only going to play once a year. Maybe get a new sponsor, one based in perhaps both Jonesboro and Little Rock.

NEVER let old in-state rivalries die, even if you leave the conference. I was just watching Seton Hall and Rutgers in the RAC from back in 2004, and it was packed to the rafters and deafening. And this year they hosted them again (now RU is in the Big Ten). Attendance 11606 packed into an arena that is supposed to hold 8000. If you have a good rivalry, keep it going!
