Nice come from behind win for the Generals at Greensboro last night.  I think W&L trailed 40-27 in the first half and then were up by 12 before the final 82-76 score.

They trailed 23-4.

That's all quite true.  Since Greensboro College seems to have very little else to talk up, I can understand their fixation on this lone accomplishment. 

I wasn't talking trash or trying to rub it in and I wasn't looking to pick a fight. Just trying to offer a possible solution to why you see more excitement about the rivalry on Market St. than you do on Friendly Ave.

I've been a hardcore Pittsburgh Pirates fan my whole life, but there's a point during every futile season where I just have to force myself to not care anymore, because it's difficult to care like I do and watch them lose so often. So since GCP has the Quakers' number this year, whether they realize it or not that might be causing a lot of GCQers to downplay the rivalry.

I'm not saying we don't want to beat Greensboro in every sport we play them - in fact, I strongly dislike losing to Greensboro.  Yes, I've seen the shirts and caps and perhaps even underwear, I just won't buy one.  I'm just saying (as someone close to the school) it's more important to Greensboro College than it is to Guilford College. 

Well it's very possible that if the Quakers were winning a few more of these rivalry games, they would be trying to talk up the overall rivalry a little more.

As it is, it's been a pretty one-sided affair this year. The Pride have beaten Guilford College in football, men's basketball, women's basketball, women's soccer, volleyball (x 2), and swimming and the Quakers have won in men's soccer.

Calvin and Hope draws 12,000+.  Greensboro College's woefully inadequate gym holds maybe 450-500 ... best suited to the days when GCP was a women's college.  I was there that night early in the 2007-08 season - Guilford was #4 and your campus security was not prepared for the game.  Never's a long time, but I predict Guilford will never play Greensboro in MBB in Hanes Gym again.   In fact, it probably wouldn't bother me and a lot of other Guilford alumni and boosters if we just stopped playing Greensboro in all sports.  Other than a 5-mile road trip, we have little to gain by doing so.  Greensboro builds up beating Guilford a lot more than Guilford builds up beating Greensboro.  In fact, I wish we'd schedule more home and away games with SCAC and CC schools myself.

Oh, so that's why Guilford College prints shirts every year that say "BEAT GBORO."
