With the shuffling of schools in and out of the Sun Belt, some rivalries will pass while others will emerge. Here are some hypothetical rivalries that could arise and the trophies that would match them.

Rivalry: The ASsU Assault
Trophy: The Golden Light Bulb

Competitors: Arkansas State versus Appalachian State
Legacy: The right to be called "ASU" is on the line with a shiny trophy to signify the victor. The winner will take the Golden Light Bulb back home where fans will gather around and wonder if the mythical "electricity" has anything to do with its function.


Rivalry: The Farm Fight
Trophy: The Perfect Pitchfork

Competitors: Idaho versus Georgia Southern
Legacy: It's potatoes versus cotton as the agricultural industry battles itself.


Rivalry: The Bus Bowl
Trophy: The Super Subway Token

Competitors: Troy verus Georgia State
Legacy: This matchup features the institutions with the largest off campus student enrollment. Whether they commute to class in the evenings or attend 1 of 3,000 satellite campuses, these students know there's no place like home... where you don't live.


Rivalry: The Outlier Championship
Trophy: The Neglected Boot

Competitors: New Mexico State versus Texas State
Legacy: The institutions all alone in cowboy land battle over the right to be the best of the (extra)west.


Rivalry: The Gulf Game
Trophy: The Stinky Shrimp Boat

Competitors: UL(Insert City Here) versus South Alabama
Legacy: It's a battle over who gets the last of the settlement money from BP. Although Lafayette is closer to the gulf than Monroe, ULM gets included because they'll be damned if they left the Cajuns try something alone.


Rivalry: The FCS Championship
The Trophy: 4/7th Banner

Competitors: Appalachian State versus Georgia Southern
Legacy: The lost National Championship for each school is on the line as App State races for #4 while Georgia Southern shoots for #7. It's like the 4th place medal for both teams as they struggle through transition.


Rivalry: The Magic Bowl
Trophy: The Platinum Drop Gun

Competitors: Georgia State versus Logic
Legacy: This is a fun game that involves any visiting fans to the Georgia Dome. It's the world's best game of hide and seek as visitors try to find the 10,000 invisible fans that G-State claims.

And Appalachian State can claim ASU along with the other 15 or so ASU's in the country. We're A-State and we're the only A-State...

Lol. Maybe we could make it the bushel bowl with Idaho. Potatoes vs. Vidalia Onions. Winner gets a bushel from the other.

It's a joke. Everybody took a shot they probably don't like.

Georgia Southern v. Anybody in the "Smokah Bowl"

Don't know about Idaho, but Georgia Southern is not an Ag School, that'd be UGA's department. For those of you unfamiliar to Georgia Southern, we are not the Georgia Cow College, that is located in Athens Georgia.

FIFY

Georgia Southern University began as First District Agricultural & Mechanical School';[9] its inaugural academic year began in 1908 with four faculty members and 15 students.
Founded as a school for teaching modern agricultural production techniques and homemaking skills to rural school children, First District A&M began within two decades to shift its emphasis to meet the growing need for teachers within the state. Its name and mission were changed in 1924 to Georgia Normal School as a training ground for educators. Five years later in 1929, full-fledged senior college status was granted and the school was renamed South Georgia Teachers College.

I Like Tennessee-Chattanooga to replace Western Kentucky and not James Madison or Liberty.

No but we should have an Ag school. The bulk of Georgia's Agriculture is where we are and it is by far the number one industry in Georgia and Ag research is extremely lucrative.

Arkansas State started as the First District Agricultural and Mechanical School. So we have that in common.

Sounds as if JMU has a BOV meeting Monday, so looks like it may be JMU.

I read the OP as Vic Romano from "MXC: Most Extreme Elimination Challenge".

I'll take JMU's FB team, Chatty's BBall and stadium, and Liberty's athletic budget, and call it a day.

And conference USA can have there annual rearrangement rivalrys such as Team A vs. Team B (fill in the blank rivalry) and Team C vs. Team D (fill in the Blank Rivalry) please note it is different because it has a capital letter in the Rivalry) and then USM vs. Team K-V or whoever is there that year rivalry.
