From my post on the EKU board...
I had no idea this was in the works, but I've been saying we should make this an annual rivalry for a long time. I mean, think about it...
-Both schools are longtime FCS members who take FCS football reasonably seriously.
-Both schools are largely known for serving the Appalachian Mountain region of their respective states.
-Both schools lost their longtime primary rivalry game to the FBS (App State in their case).
Therefore, we've both had kind of a rivalry vacuum that can be filled by each other. I think if you promote this well you can really make an event out of it that both schools need on their annual schedule. I realize rivalries are really only truly made by game history, but this is a nice jump start. I love it!
