We play Marshall on Saturdays in front of full stadiums. It is a true college football experience.
We now normally play Miami on weekdays and when both schools are basically closed. Not a true college football experience.
Still fun to beat them though.
Very sad, but true. Miami is hands down our #1 basketball rival (Akron and Kent would be close seconds).
On the other hand, the Miami football games tend to be largely irrelevant. It seems we always go in saying "it would be nice to win"...but there's not the urgency that should be there for a rivalry. Marshall, on the other hand, seems to inspire the best in all of us. Glad that series will be on the books for years to come!
