Hercules Tires Sun Belt Football Championship Game
* Sun Belt Conference Game
I would like to see the final Saturday have scheduled, each year, James Madison vs. Old Dominion (Virginia “rivals”), and Appalachian State vs. Georgia Southern (old SoCon bitter rivals).
Rivalry Weekend on last weekend would be great:
James Madison – Old Dominion
Appalachian State – Coastal Carolina
Georgia State – Georgia Southern
Troy-South Alabama
Louisiana Lafayette – Louisiana Monroe
A rotation of the remaining teams: Marshall – Southern Miss – Arkansas State – Texas State (based on who is playing Marshall in cross-division play those years).
Ideally, they’d bring in Liberty (as a rival for Marshall) and Louisiana Tech (as a rival to Southern Miss – Ark. St. – Texas St.).
I do not care who Georgia Southern plays on Thanksgiving weekend long as I cheer on Eagles.
MrVandy’s first five are good for a rivalry week, but I also want Eastern Kentucky and Stephen F. Austin to join the SBC, which would add Arkansas State-Southern Miss, Eastern Kentucky-Marshall, and Stephen F. Austin-Texas State to the annual rivalry week slate.
Forget about Sun Belt expansion Z-Man SBC in excellent as it is.
Go Georgia Southern!!!
I think Old Dominion @ Indiana is also a noteworthy game to be mentioned.
Georgia St’s rematch against Vandy should also be interesting. Texas St vs UTSA should also be entertaining, especially given both schools recent success and rumored as possible PAC12 additions.
