This is the most pathetic cope I've ever read. You're romanticizing being irrelevant. The MAC "builds rivalries" because nobody wants your players. It's not loyalty, it's a lack of options. You think Toledo remembers a hit from three years ago? Who cares? They remember losing 45-3 to us last November, and half those guys are gone because we developed them and they moved up. That's the real world. Our rivalry with you is alive because we keep beating you, not because your fifth-year senior guard remembers a block. The portal lets us fix roster holes fast and stay competitive. You cling to "tradition" because you have nothing else to offer. Real programs evolve. We build new hatreds every year, and it's sweeter because we're building something winners care about, not just nursing old grudges in obscurity. That article is a love letter to losing.
