Yeah, but it doesn't mean anything when you use it. I never said that person claimed to be a Troy fan. You were either referring to me or you didn't understand. *You* have either failed at reading comprehension or you are lying to get out of your mistake, which is it? Crude. Unoriginal. Stupid. What's with all your underwear references, anyway? In case you, or anyone else hasn't noticed I take offense at being called less of a fan, or when I'm accused of attacking other fans, when I simply disagree. I voice my dissent BECAUSE I AM A FAN and I think something is a bad idea for the program. Being a fan doesn't mean participating in group-think. If someone disagrees with me and wants to discuss it like human beings, I'm happy to. If someone wants to attack and make accusations I will defend myself. Ok, angry guy caps locks means more than everyone else? Got it. My response was to SaintFlorian. When I quoted him it also shows your post that he quotes. I can't help the you just can't seem to understand how that works. I guess we all struggle with something in life. Crude unoriginal and Stupid? PANTIES PANTIES PANTIES. I haven't seen anyone question your fandom. I have no idea what you're babbling about in that particular part of the post. I will say that you or anyone else that wants to stifle the growth of Troy and its product will probably be very unhappy in the upcoming years. Little ole Troy is moving into aggressive, outside of the box thinking, reaching our full potential Troy. Who in the Flying Green Hell said I want to stifle the growth of Troy? I didn't even say anything CLOSE to that. Yea verily, I am trying to avoid the undue and free promotion and growth of South Alabama when they only care to cut our throats. For everyone: I know, I know, I know, "It's happening anyway....." Now, unless anyone else wants to come at me with something else. I'll try to get out of this thread.

If you've ever been to a Troy vs SoBama baseball game you are very well aware of the rivalry that exists between the coaches, players, and fans. The SGA's are feeding off that type of rivalry to kick start the football version of the rivalry. This isn't about making SoBama into anything. It's about creating excitement about Troy football. Something we have lacked for several years. The Belt isn't about energizing you and I about Troy football. It's aimed at students and locals who wouldn't normally think much of a Sun Belt conference game. You can't put butts in the seats with tweeting out we are playing SoBama. You can build interest with a blackout game, rivalry game, fireworks, DJ in the student section, and national media attention that you would have never received without the Belt!!

From the get go I thought this idea would go from being embarrassingly stupid to brilliant in time.Belts are given for many legitimate sports (not that Rasslin' ain't legit cuz it is...),I could imagine that most every "rivalry" trophy had push back early in it's time,some are pretty lame. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NCAA_college_football_rivalry_gamesIt's not about what you're fighting for ,it's just about you're fightin'! P.S. Love "The Platypus Trophy" (Half Beaver and Half Duck maybe???) for the Civil War between Oregon/Oregon State

Saturday will be full of energy... I love it. Sitting in between the student section and South's section will be interesting.

Trojans1andAll, I certainly respect your opinion. However, it is obvious that the excitement and passion for this game, this rivalry, and the trophy is very high. I don't expect everyone to like it--we each have our own opinions. However, I'm not sure why you remain so pessimistic in the face of obvious energy surrounding the game. Only 200 fans from South? Seriously? That's crazy. I've been around this program a long time and I believe this game, the trophy, and the potential of this rivalry is excellent for our program and our University. I don't expect you or anyone to get behind it if you don't like it, but it would be awesome if you and everyone else who isn't for this would just sit back and see what happens. I think you may be surprised. Go Trojans!

Just curious.

Dude, it's obvious that there are varying levels of acceptance and not for the trophy and whether or not it's a rivalry. Some see things as you do and some don't. Let's just leave it at that for today.

Let's just leave it at that for today. Dude, when someone addresses me directly I'm going to answer. If people want to leave it at that for today, they need to stop making comments to me about things I never addressed to them. Have a nice day, and Go Trojans!

Personally, I would rather see the Trojans win 88-0 every week against every team! But that doesn't affect a rivalry one bit, in my opinion. Doesn't have to be even to have a rivalry. And btw, I've seen over 200 South fans here, already! Go Trojans!

And btw, I've seen over 200 South fans here, already! Go Trojans! I would disagree, it certainly affects rivalry. That big rivalry with MT was practically forgotten after we beat them a few years in a row. So much that the last year when the team had completely tanked and MT beat us they had forgotten to bring the trophy to the field. Everyone wanted to beat them no less. Like you said, "Doesn't have to be even a rivalry." For there to be "a really intense rivalry!" (sorry, that's just a quote from a year or two ago on the same topic, just loved it - not) South should win a few of those games to keep it going. I'd rather win the games and let the chips fall.
