You're right about one thing, those Thursday night games in Carter-Finley were wars. But you're dead wrong to think the rivalry is hollow now. The animosity between our fanbases didn't leave with the old ACC, it's in our blood. I was there in '04 when we stormed your field, and that feeling doesn't expire because a kid transfers. The game's soul isn't in rosters, it's in the stands and in the histtory. You think we forgot about Philip Rivers torching us? That just fuels the fire for the next generation of Miners to finally get one back. This new era just means we get to hate a new set of your players, and we'll teach them what this game means just like we did with your legends. The result on the scoreboard is what gets remembered forever, not how long a kid stayed on your roster.
