We seem to have made this a very one-sided rivalry over the last 8-10 years, in both basketball and football. I enjoy this trend...
Basketball: 16-8 over the last 10 years (14-4 over the last 8)
Football: 9-1 over the last 10 years
Hence why I care more about beating Akron, Kent, or UB than Miami. They aren't terribly good*, and their fan support is twice as bad.
*They did play a nice game tonight, and I did say during the game that it was the loudest I'd heard Millet in ages.
