I thought they were going with Battle for the Palladium since it is now available and there is already a trophy they can just grind off Middles name and add South.

Was a name ever given to this game? Battle for the Belt is something the two SGAs came up with. The teams will play for a WWE style championship belt. also ties in the black belt, sun belt

In my opinion, they missed the mark. I'm not even sure they hit the target.

Battle for the Belt....sounds a little cheesy.

So there is an actual belt that the winning team will get to keep as bragging rights???
If so, are there any pictures of this belt?
On a side note, I would like to play MTSU in the future some time to have the Battle for the Palladium back in play momentarily. I always thought that was a good rivalry. Probably more so now since they are CUSA and seem to think that they are amazing for getting into a podunk conference.

We need a rivalry game. The only really true rivalry Troy has had has been Jax St. That was a heated rivalry when I was there. We hated them. Even in basketball we would pack Sartain when they came and Whup Jax St was the battle cry. Even the bands got into it and the game was also the battle of the bands. Maybe South turns into this. Rivalries are good especially from a fans perspectives

I don't know how people say this isn't a rivalry. Have you seen the hatred between these two baseball teams or the energy the basketball teams play with? Or even the two soccer teams have a good thing going in their last several games. It's a natural rivalry and it's only going to get better as time passes.

Does the football team get a steak dinner or are we not doing that anymore?

The main problem is it hasn't went on for decades or years like other rivalries. Even myself (class of 90) this is a foreign rivalry. It will take time but we need to embrace it as a heated rivalry. It will only grow each year

Living in Mobile and working with several South Alabama graduates, they think of it as a rivalry. I asked one yesterday if she was going to go to the game and she replied there is no way I would miss a game against TROY, we hate you guys.....I guess when your football program is in its infancy you have to have someone to hate. As for TROY I agree it will take time and PR spin to really be considered a rivalry game.

It will only grow each year Do we have any games that have gone on for decades? Even our "rivalry" with MTSU hadn't been played that long but it was a good one. If that's a criteria I'm not sure we will have a rival because of how much our schedule fluctuates and how much our conference has changed/will change.
