I don’t really consider Fresno a true rival, though I probably should. I just don’t hate them like I hate UNLV and Boise. I always root for Fresno against the other two. 

Agreed. The two schools haven't been real good in football or basketball at the same time, and there haven't been any significant events to cause the fan bases to dislike the other. Splitting the $5 million WAC buyout created a small bond.

Yeah same here with Nevada. Not a true rival but we've had some really fierce battles in football going back to the Kapernick era and heck even this year with basketball! Probably the closest thing to a rival that's not.

Tier 1: CSU

Tier 2: AFA, New mexi

Tier 3: USU

Old rivals: BYU, Utah

Whatever, Bob. I know USU is #1 in your heart. 

There are only two things I can't stand in this world: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.

It really bugs me that this conference can’t figure out a way for Nevada and Boise to play every year. 

Agreed. Regardless of the later overall record versus BSU, we still played them tough those last 4 WAC games, and also you could feel the rivalry still there. Couple that with the classic games with them during Big Sky and I don't see why the MW couldn't schedule us every year and just rotate the other 2 mountain division games

It was as good as any rivalry in the country. Not saying anybody else in the country knew about it but the hatred was great. 

Good old fashioned hate.  A touch of that makes a good rivalry great.

When the Big XII formed this is what killed the Nebraska vs Oklahoma rivalry.  If you don't play every year even a long standing competitive and passionate rivalry will simmer and eventually die.  There's no way Nebraska moves to the B1G if they'd have never been split up divisionally from OU.

Tier 1 - CSU, Air Force - very much in that order

Tier 2 Football - Hawaii, USU - also in that order, to a lesser extent. I wish we could make Hawaii a permanent cross division rival. 

Tier 2 Basketball - UNM

Remember that every argument you have with someone on MWCboard is actually the continuation of a different argument they had with someone else also on MWCboard.

I don’t think Army really recognizes that Rivaly. I am pretty sure Navy has that honor.

As much as it sucks, the BSU/Idaho thing died a while back.

Im sure the Beavers dream about having Hawai’i as Conference mates :rolleyes:

Pretty accurate otherwise though.

I thought Hawaiis rival was a temperature below 80 degrees

I remember seeing that rivalry on TV during the Boise State-Oklahoma game. When Okiehoma lost I swear Nebraska fans were running around naked, pinching their nipples and laughing
