Part of the color and tradition of college football, you might say. As opposed to the no color, few traditions, or no real football rivalries that we have so naturally it looks stupid to us. Or maybe we are jealous. Every year there are threads about creating a tradition or a true football rival for SU. Every year... It’s sort of sad when you get right down to it. We have few original traditions and no specific football rival for over 50 years. They can’t be created out of whole cloth however; they develop organically over time between two schools who consider each other their big rival and who actually have fan bases who care about their football team in large numbers and who circle that game against each other on their calendar. There are schools that actually have that. No school that we root for, but there are schools. [/QUOTE]
