RE: Who Hates Who the Most?
All these people talking about Tech-UTSA...
Really? How is that a rivalry of any kind? Speaking for the students, at least, we don't give a crap about UTSA. They don't move the needle for us whatsoever. The casual fans (not me) pencil UTSA in as a W and move on. Right before we played them (in a game that could have decided the West) I told a friend UTSA was our opponent and their response was "oh we'll beat them."
I don't say this to bash UTSA. I have respect for your program and think you'll be a force in the west within a few years. But we have no hatred towards you. At least the students don't.
The only Conference USA team I have any hatred towards is Southern Miss. ULL is the only school I hate more.

RE: Who Hates Who the Most?
From what I've read so far, this seem to be the consensus.
WKU and MT fans hate each other, and have for over 60 years. The hate is strong with them.
UTSA seems intent on hacking off North Texas and LA Tech. Not sure why, but that seems to be their thing.
FAU and FIU fans hate each other, though they should probably be directing some of that hate towards their leadership.
UTEP fans should hate UTSA fans. UTSA has the same colors, muscled into their conference, and even stole their hand sign. UTEP fans need to step up their hate around here.
LA Tech and USM fans seem to have a mutual respect with undertones of hate in it.
USM fans hate all of C-USA, and just want out.
Rice fans probably hate all of C-USA too, but are too reserved to publicly express their discontent.
UAB fans hate Paul Bryant Jr.
How would you rank these dislikes from strongest to least?

RE: Who Hates Who the Most?
I'm going to chime in on the UTSA vs. UNT thing. At least from the message board fodder, there was dislike between the two fanbases before we even played our first game against each other. From what I can tell, some (most) of that had to do with UTSA getting into CUSA at the same time as UNT, an invitation some felt we didn't deserve because we hadn't paid our "dues". Our first game in 2013 seemed to stoke the fire even more. There was plenty of message board build up before the game - I seem to recall a signature/avatar bet between many of the diehards. It was our first game against each other and had significant implications for both teams - a likely West division crown for UNT and a sixth win for UTSA. UTSA brought a number of fans to Denton and we beat UNT in a close game. There was plenty of post game gloating and bitterness. It's been a brewing rivalry ever since.

I've actually always been pretty fond of LT. It's going to take some time to gin up any real disdain there. On the whole, it seems like LT fans have significantly harder feelings toward USM than vice-versa, but it may just be a vocal minority giving that impression.
Tech fans generally have nothing but the utmost respect for USM
....and I hate that crap too. That's exactly why USM beats our arse every year. We need to cut out the silly admiration crap.
So you think the fan's feelings toward a school have a direct effect on the outcome of the games?

Isn't it funny how different fans PERCEIVE different opinions? As a Tech fan, and admittedly viewing the C-USA landscape through Blue and Red Glasses, MY OPINION is that more USM fans seem to hold disdain toward Tech than vice-versa. I see (and saw) a lot of posts from USM people either blatantly saying USM basically "tolerates" Tech, you know...like the backwards third cousin at the family reunion. HAHA!
...like you, Harbor, maybe my impression is based on a vocal few.
My "problem" with Tech/USM is more with Tech than USM...see Hogdawg's post earlier in the thread. If WE don't view ourselves as at least your equals, we'll never "rival" you, either.
And that's NO FAULT of USM. That's on US.
if we're talking about "hate" (and we ARE), I've decided I dislike UTSA...because they seem to always try to start s*** with us.

RE: Who Hates Who the Most?
I don't like the USM arrogance in football, but I do understand it. They were strong in the 80's - 90's (lol). I had no feelings when we trounced them in 13 and 14 because they were so bad. The 2015 game was a kick to the nuts though. Then we were going to get some pay back this year and got kicked in the nuts again. I'm starting to dislike them doing that to us.

Good point. LA Tech has played Navy more times than it has Marshall, ODU, Charlotte, and FAU, and the same number of times that we've played FIU.

Why we just made a great hire, not some TV guy looking for a retirement paycheck like FIU did.
We are investing heavily in football with our 60 million dollar football building.
FIU has a nice pop tent they use for media!!!
Our weight room is going to have a saltwater fish tank......who is going to beat that????
We do not add two zero's to our attendance numbers like FIU

Other than FIU I hate Southern Miss and Marshall.
Southern Miss fans are like the old guy that tells you they used to walk up hill both ways and things used to be better, but really everyone around them has just moved on and they will always be the same school forever.
The same goes for Marshall who looks down on everyone when they are basically a CC college that has a football team.

That remains to be seen. FAU has made a big headline hire. I will wait until I've seen Kiffin's team play before I make a judgement on if he is a good hire.
The $60 million investment in football is good, but others around C-USA are also investing in their programs. That is what you are supposed to do.
A fish tank? Really? FAU has an owl for a mascot. Seems kind of dumb to me. I think there are better, more effective ways to improve a weight room.

We are investing heavily in football with our 60 million dollar football building.
FIU has a nice pop tent they use for media!!! - At least Hope Solo never tweeted that our field was more ripped up than she was
Our weight room is going to have a saltwater fish tank......who is going to beat that???? - I remember hearing your stadium would have a retractable roof around the same time you guys were "on a collision course with a national championship". FIU fans know y'all talk the talk but usually take about 10 years to get 1/10th of the talk.
We do not add two zero's to our attendance numbers like FIU - You did add two zeroes, that's how you guys got the 10k attendance number.
Happy new year OC40, looking forward to #ShulaBowl2017

You report 17k and have 170 people and you know that isnt an exaggeration.
We also break ground on the facility January 20th so it will not be 10 years.
