Football officially reports this weekend right?

[FlamesHighontheTide]

First practice actually starts next Saturday.

[chris leedlelee]

Fansided ranked us quite low at 113, however, Coastal Carolina at 126 is quite satisfying to see.

Am I the only one that couldn't care any less about Coastal? I never even think about them until someone brings them up on here.

[BJWilliams]

Frankly youre not...the only time Coastal will come up in my mind beyond this post is when we play them and maybe if they make a bowl game and I have to pick their game for ESPN Bowl Mania

Who?

[thepostman]

Exactly

I'll act like I don't care but the second they play at Liberty I'm going to be educating the students on why we need to kick them back to the Big South.

Unfortunately, someone at work has a Coastal DAD sticker on their back window. Every day I walk by it and immediately think "Beat Coastal".

That is 4 years from now. I'll obviously want to win but that is about where it ends with me. It was a manufactured rivalry. I've moved on. Haha

[Cider Jim]

I still love the story about how Coastal was hosting the Big South Quiz Bowl Tournament, and Jeff Barber gave our varsity team five "Beat Coastal" T-shirts to wear when we drove down to Conway. We sure got the stares from the locals when we wore those red shirts into a restaurant across the street from Coastal's campus.

Not me. I want to smash them. There was nothing made up at all about the baseball rivalry. Basketball wasnt the same but for a decade it was us or them in the big south.

[cruzan_flame13]

Coach Pope posted 'another one' gif a few minutes ago. I wonder who it is?

Talk to anybody close to Coastal and they'll agree it was a rivalry manufactured by LU. Of course they wanted to beat us but LU was much more invested in it than Coastal.

I'd be good with never playing them again to be honest.

[ballcoach15]

I'd like to play them again in baseball and softball.

I am looking forward to this board getting some "action" again. I know high schools and colleges have dead periods, where coaches can't do anything with players, but I didn't know message boards had dead periods also.

Manufactured rivalry ? I get that the shirts were over kill, but our entire football season depended on winning that game for like 8 years in a row.

[thepostman]

Of course, but they didn't think of us as a rival. At least that is the impression I always got from talking to Coastal fans. Rivalries are a two way street. It isn't the same when the animosity is one sided.

[ballcoach15]

What few CCU fans I have met at softball and baseball games, reminded me of UVA fans. i.e. snobbish.

[thepostman]

Of course you would think that...

Back on track. We are now less than a month from the 2019 season! I haven't been this excited for a football season starting in a long, long time.

[BJWilliams]

Not sure if this has already been noted, but former FSU QB Deondre Francois has transferred to Hampton (our Family Weekend opponent)

au contraire mon frère

Consider a school such as Michigan State. Who is its rival? Who does that team consider as its rival? Some of the best rivalries involve "little brother."
