2016-17 Annual MVC “Traveling Super Bowl” Team

[Dave Stalwart]

(the good kind)

It is an important distinction. We have a plethora of the other kind.

Until another MVC program gets some consistency (the good kind), and year-in, year-out is playing competitive games against us, the sad truth is that we don't have a rival. That's sorta how that works; it's not pride or ego.

I wish we had a rival in the MVC. Several, in fact.

We don't have a creighton kind of rivalry with anyone but I would call both UNI & ISUr rivals at this point due to their performance against us the past few years.

IF we stay in the Valley and IF one or both of those teams are able to sustain a relatively consistent level of success over the next several years I could see a more enduring rivalry developing.

Maroon Out: Our biggest rival is in the house and make them feel the power of the Saluki maroon. Wear maroon Salukis and then wear more maroon."

For those of us who may be going, I just got a e-mail stating this will be the halftime show...

Plus there seems to be a genuine lack of friendliness between many of the Redbird fans and Shocker fans. Maybe not quite up to the KU-Mizzou hatred but not exactly a a friendly rivalry for sure.
