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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
