The rivalry is not the same except to many of the fans of each school. These highly paid portal mercenaries at each school are only here for a year or so and I dare say most have no knowledge of the history and passion regarding the series in classic games past. Some of these guys have been at 4 or 5 schools and still have eligibility left. I hate the one and gone portal with no rules worse than the NIL (Name, Image and Likeness , a joke), as we should call it what it is, "Pay for Play".

It's game 12 and I still don't know the names of half our players by their numbers.

It is what it is and we will be there 8 strong. Upset OM, get 6-6, get a bowl and turn this thing around! Hail State!
