Re: Unrealistic Future Predictions
Rivalry Trophy?!?! ............. can we please start a movement to eliminate this. Once again Georgia state is not our rival! We have zero history with them and would rather have history with CCU or South Alabama because they are coastal schools and more enticing areas to visit when the teams play one another. App State is our RIVAL and will always be our rival!!!! Goats and the Gnats!!!

Re: Unrealistic Future Predictions
Uh, we have way more history with Gast than we do with CCU or USA.
You're thinking of football only.
And yes, Gast is our rival. You can't avoid it. You can also have more than one rival.
I don't remember anyone saying only Furman or App could be our rival in the Socon.

Re: Unrealistic Future Predictions
Guess you weren't around in the TAAC days when we played them in baseball or basketball. Nor have you paid attention to the crowds now when we play them in the big 3 sports.

Re: Unrealistic Future Predictions
A 5 year Bowl win streak and getting ranked helps capture the markets of Macon, Augusta, Savannah, and even Jacksonville.
We expand the stadium to 40,000 while the expansion of both our campuses turns us into THE academic power in the region.
After Cable collapses and streaming becomes the new king, GS is ahead of the curb with our fantastic broadcasting capabilities. No more weeknight ESPN games because ESPN now broadcasts all our Saturday games on its app ESPN+ (which is actually going to be a real thing)
After the Cable money completely dries up, the next wave of realignment will focus on brand names to sell content. We end up in a group with UCF, USF, ECU, Marshall, Memphis, ODU, Wake Forest, and believe it or not App State and Georgia State plus a few others.
The year is 2028, we now have a 45k seat stadium, a 10k seat basketball arena, TWO indoor facilities (one for football and one for the band). We have 7 bowl wins in 10 years and two CFP appearances in the new 12 team playoff, four NCAA basketball tournament appearances, a National title in baseball, and a national title in both Men's and Women's Soccer.
How's that for a future prediction?
Re: Unrealistic Future Predictions
I cannot image TK trying to pull the plug on this Rivalry Trophy, now. Too much of a blow to the ego (and believe it or not, the reputation of GS) for us to terminate it after continuous beatings. IMO the only way to eliminate it is to contract it out for X years and mutually agree then that it will not be renewed.
Re: Unrealistic Future Predictions
Sorry but I'm just not seeing it. I never heard of the college while a student at Georgia Southern in early 2000. The first time I knew they had a football program was upon Southern entering the SBC.
Re: Unrealistic Future Predictions
Well they only had a football team for like a year before that
Re: Unrealistic Future Predictions
2019 13-0 Georgia Southern is highest rated group of 5 school
1)LSU recovers from their lost to us, finish 12-1
2)LSU beats a one loss UGA squad in the SEC Championship
3)Bowl officials wanting a real David vs Goliath storyline, Pair GSU vs UGA in the Peach Bowl
4)Dawg fans are apoplectic After an emergency meeting, the BOR threatens to disband Georgia Southern football, if the bowl bid is accepted
5)After intense national pressure, the BOR backs down.
6) Eagles win!
