I would really like to see a rivalry get started with USF or UM. I think they should be on the look out next season. I know we're not as big as USF but hey it's an in-state game and UCF-FIU is starting to become known as rivalry around the state. And I can see the rivalry with UM due to how close we are to them especially since FIU won't play either school. Should be interesting to see what unfolds
I like USF as a rivalry as well. They have a good program and we have played some good games with them. We need to make our future games competitive.

Interesting that you mention UCF (not as a rivalry, just in general) since very little has been brought up about them as of late. They really seem to be far off of the FAU radar.

I wouldn't doubt at some point in the near future the FAU-FIU rivalry gets rekindled as an out of conference game - similar to rivalries such as UF-FSU, GA-GA Tech,
SC-Clemson etc. It makes too much sense not to.
I suspect the same. Once we get back to the top of the SBC and they struggle in CUSA they will be begging to com back and play us.
First things first, we must hang on to that trophy on Friday.

i personally see troy as a rival, we have always had a losing record to them and just now beat them the first time at home. Say next year rolls around, we will want to stay on top and they will want redemption for losing to a 1-7 team. I could see it heating up and turning into something interesting, especially if we start beating them more.
I agree with Troy. I don't despise Troy like I do the kitties but I do believe it could turn into a solid rivalry over the years.
Regarding the kitties going to CUSA, look up RPI or any conference rankings and they are at the very bottom. So much for moving up.
Don't kid yourself - although it is probably a down year for them, C USA is still a step up in an overall conference.
I still think FIU will be the main rival, and I would bet a few years down the road we probably get invited into C USA.
OK - so I meant in a few weeks! LOL
