Re: Need to think of Future and Present -- SHU Fan, 10:58:54pm 12/17/05 Sat, [1]
As a Sacred Heart student, and fan who has friends at FU i would love to see the two teams play each other each year.
Of course i understand the reasons that FU wouldnt want to schecdule this game, however if you really think about it...the only thing that can be hurt after each game is pride. Sorry to burst your bubble but Fairfield University isnt exactly Gonzaga, go outside of the tri state area and see who has even heard of Fairfield. Its not like scheduling SHU is going to kill your incredible national repuatation.
The previous school i went to, University at Buffalo plays there local rivals all the time and it makes for great games where attendance is usually doubled. Do you think that a MAC school scheduling a MAAC school like Canisius and Niagara is great for RPI? No, but they do it because it benefits the city and creates local intrest.
How is playing a school like Elon, or St. Francis better than establishing a rivalry with a division 1 college right down the road?
Whats the worst thing that can happen? SHU beats the powerhouse known as Fairfield, and gives you reason to be angry and want to win more the next time? Isn't that how a rivalry starts anyway?
