Pridesportbballguy - You're cool with me!  I'm really glad I got to meet you at the Soup Bowl last fall.  You're an active and interesting poster, so keep it up.  As you and some of the other posters get to know me better, you'll realize I have a very dry sense of humor, but I accept the premise that things I find humorous may not be taken in that context.

I follow Greensboro's and the USASAC's sports almost as closely as I follow Guilford's and the ODAC's, so I enjoy posting in both sites.  Just realize I have a long-standing reputation as a harmless smart-aleck and we'll all have fun!

Good luck to you and the Pride!

Explain it? If you're concerned about your karma falling BBallGuy, maybe you should look at the tone of your posts in the Top 25 room. I'd be willing to bet you've rubbed some people the wrong way.

I just post my rankings which have been up there the last 3 weeks.  I come back to see a reply and nothing (except a smite and no post) I don't really care about the karma as long as someone explains to me how I rubbed them the wrong way.  You can smite me all you want, i don't care as long as I know why.  I am a very reasonable optimistic person.  I trust that no one is using the karma thing the wrong way.

Nova-
I read some of your posts and am well aware from the time I have been here that you have a dry sense of humor.  I tend to have one too.  Just in person not here, not yet.  Not until I get my post numbers up.  I know I would rub some people the wrong way.

nota-
good.  +1 for you. This is fact about the O's few years ago before the losing seasons. They ran some period of time ,10 season or something.  (I think in the late 80's early to mid-90's.) They had the 2nd record in baseball for numerous years.  Most of them if not all of them before Peter Angelos

Now its making me wonder,  What are all of the d3 basketball "rivalries?"  I am not too sure how many of the rivalries are like greensboro and guilford.  Guilford being the county, and greensboro being the city.  How many of the "rivalries" are that close and have a city, county, are name? Maybe in all of college basketball.  Pat maybe you know.  I just find it very interesting.

That is a very interesting thought Pride. That would be a fact that we might need to look up.

When I worked for John Deere, I used to travel to Dubuque, IA from time to time.  I always found the Loras College/University of Dubuque intracity DIII rivalry to be interesting.  Besides the Dubuque pair and Guilford/Greensboro, I'll have to pull out a map and think about it some.  I like that question!

i asked a similar question earlier this year. i wanted to know if there was a school that had a long-standing or a particularly heated rivalry with cnu. i was told that because of the relative youth of the school there were no strong rivalries with other schools. thats too bad, really. i think that the heated rivalries like cowboys/redskins are a lot of fun for all.

You're the state school in the group... so everybody else hates CNU. 

No seriously, from our perspective (fully understanding that we might not even pop up on your radar for a rivalry)  CNU was always the team to beat.  Back in the early 1990's when CNU had some great hoops teams we were able to make a run and tie you guys for a conference title.  Since then there's been some bad blood at times at hoops games (and yes, I realize that we, historically, have about a .300 winning % against you) and then when you guys added football and we had a few close games, that added to make it a bit of a focal point for SU. Not sure if CNU sees it that way at all.

You would think that we would take Bridgewater or some other closer VA school and create some type of rivalry but I think our geographic location keeps us from having that within the conference.

Let me quickly clarify - that would be a rivalry in all sports with someone like Bridgewater - NOT JUST FOOTBALL.  We still have a ways to go there...

SU97-

I agree with you.  CNU is the state school.  We hate them. haha. I really don't know to be honest.  I think VA Wesleyan would be a CNU rival.  Could throw out Newport New Aprentince-CNU, but that really isn't a "rival".  In conference though CNU would have to be one of the VA schools.  The only one that really comes to mind is SU.

AU fans treat GC has a rival, but what's a rival defined.

RIVAL-person who is competing for the same object or goal as another, or who tries to equal or outdo another; competitor (dictionary.com.)

That's just one definition.  Based on that every team, every school is a rival.

looks like the pride are going to get the "w" against the monarchs...wonder when the last time they went 2-0 in the regular season vs. the monarchs was

nice win for the pride

Hornets get smoked by CNU tonight.  Sounded like Blasingame had a monster game on defense.  I would be interested to know what CNU shot from 3pt, I think they were shooting 80% at halftime...   Also sounded like Barton had a big game again against us.  The radio guys were constantly talking about him. Typical night for the hornets, down by 10 for most of the night, just glad to hear the guys didn't quit.

You know I entirely forgot about VWC. I would imagine that would be the most logical choice.  The guys from "the other side of the water" would be it, except Wesleyan doesn't have football.  It would be a quality ODAC-USASAC rivalry in hoops and other sports.
