Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 296222, member: 780"] The "traditional rivals" thing is way overrated. If you play quality teams --- regardless whether its St Johns or Wake Fores or Ga Tech --- fans will react positively. This "loss of traditional rivals" stuff is just a talking point for those who are mad SU or BC or whoever is changing conferences. It's a myth. But its been mentioned so often people are starting to give it a weight it doesn't deserve. Who are the SU rivals that our fan base just can't live without? Rutgers? Seton Hall? Providence?. If SU came out and said, "We are never going to play Colgate or St Bonaventure or St Johns or (name a "traditional rival") do you really think the SU fan base would care? Assuming of course that the new opponent was of equal stature. I don't. [/QUOTE]
