Who do you see as North Texas' future rival in CUSA?

[Harry]

Let's hear your thoughts. Some good possibilities for sure!

[UNTFan23]

I vote Tulsa. We have a long history with them and they will be perhaps our closest opponent.

[chrisfisher]

I voted LaTech. There seems to be some real disgruntlement between them and us... kind of reminds me of our relationship with SMU. LaTech will have a fit if they loose to a former SBC team, which they openly disdained our former conference. But this is what builds fierce rivalries between teams.. We may not beat them right away in football, but I look forward to blasting them in bball.

[Harry]

I voted Tulsa too - their proximity combined with the fact there such a darn good program that recruits the hell out of DFW makes them attractive to me as a Rival. I think you could make valid arguements for most of them though which is a major positive change for us.

[DeepGreen]

They won't be in our division, but I see East Carolina at the top of our most hated conference mate heap. Those people are jerks.

[DT 90]

Why just one? What fun is that? All the Texas schools for sure. FIU because they are FIU. Marshall because of the color of their jerseys. Tulsa and LaTech for good measure

[Eastwood Eagle]

UTSA

[UNTLifer]

_{I picked Tech due to proximity, but Marshall would be a good choice due to our 1AA playoff history with the Thundering Turds.}

Well, in a way I agree with DT90. We don't have to have just one. We could have one in each state. We have some history (fellow MVC members) with Tulsa. We could work up a rivalry with La Tech because they've always sneered at the SunBelt. And Rice just because we owe them a serious butt whipping.

I will miss ULL though.. They DO know how to tailgate.

[Got5onIt]

As much as I'd hate to admit it, it's probably going to be UTSA.

[meangreendork]

I'd like it to be Tulsa. There's a history there, and Tulsa is currently the best team in the new CUSA.

[MeanGreenTexan]

I said LA Tech. I'm thinking that their proximity and the fact that we're going to debut simultaneously (coupled with the fact that both of us actually played football prior to 2010) make them the logical choice for me.

[Hunter Green]

La Tech. We already don't like each other.

[Mean Green 93-98]

As much as I'd hate to admit it, it's probably going to be UTSA.

Yes, I will be very embarrassed if they end up our chief rival.

[LongJim]

Tulsa.

[UNTflyer]

I will never consider UTSA a rival.

Phooey. PHOOEY, I say!

[Eastwood Eagle]

I will never consider UTSA a rival.

Phooey. PHOOEY, I say!

Cool story.

Isn't that what makes a rivalry- not liking the other team?

I didn't know we had to like and approve of our rivals.

Best part of all this is that we will have many potential heated rivals in our division and that is why many of us for almost half a century wanted in a league

with more Texas schools and some great non-Texas schools. We now have our cake and ice cream! What a great day this is.

AND................how many conferences do you know that has "3" schools whose primary color is green?

GMG!

UTSA .... I 35 grudgematch...The two will also compete intensely in recruiting.

Yep. One school thinks themselves vastly superior and one school resents them for it.

[Marty]

I voted Tulsa. We have a history with them & for some reason I just don't like them. Plus I can't forget the 54-2 shellacking they laid on us at Fouts.

[Green2012]

Anyone willing to volunteer to let our new rival know we don't like them anymore? I wouldn't want them to feel like they were caught off guard.

[SilverEagle]

The only thing good I see about UTSA is that you can take a train down there and back from Fort Worth and/or Dallas.

[LongJim]

Rice is great when you're hungry and want 2000 of something [/hedberg]
