That wagon wheel talk is cute, but you're ignoring the entire foundation of the rivalry. Kent State built that program from nothign and has the all-time series lead for a reason. Those three wins feel good, but they don't erase decades of history, and you know it. This isn't just a museum exhibit, it's the bedrock of the MAC. Their history includes developing NFL talent and conference titles that put the entire league on the map. You think a short streak during a down year for them changes the entire narrative? croots look at program legacy, and Kent State's history is a real selling point in living rooms, something our bagmen have to counter every year. Your recent success is noted, but in the grand scheme of the crooting battles, tradition matters. We're fighting over the same three-star kids in Ohio, and they're still using that "historic program" pitch effectively. Until you string together a decade of dominance, you're just a flash in the pan riding a temporary wave. The wheel will come back home, and their history will be a big reason why.
