What can I say, I'm a popular guy.
Burn...
I gotta say that I thought you and I were gaining some respect for each other, which is still true, but I saw your post over on the Troy forum, which I just visited for the 1st time ever, and I found this statement...
..."the funniest thing to me personally about Jax State is this: they still use our name in a cheer, while our younger generation of fans have no idea they were ever a rival. their fanbase is still obsessed with Troy while we don't even acknowledge their existence..."
If this is true then why all the "WHUP JAX STATE" signatures from everyone over there? I thought we weren't acknowledged? Just please know that when you talk about the "Whup Troy" folks, and the assumption that they are obsessed with a long gone rivalry, they are simply doing something that your folks are doing and appreciating the fact that it was such a good rivalry. JPSousa makes a fair point...
"There are three kinds of JSU fans:
People who remember the rivalry and their kids.
The Southerners and Gray Eschilon
Other current students.
They all have different reasons to say Whup...
"Old times there are not forgotten."
Jealously
Cause they were told they should say it.
They actually hate Troy or someone from it.
At least there are a few who aren't obnoxious about it. It makes knowing them very tolerable and some downright enjoyable....
Still... WHUP JAX STATE!!!!
SEE???
