    That's a good question, but since we can't beat USM or win a championship, I have a hard time evaluating which is higher on the list.

    Further it seems weak to claim a game is a "rivalry" just by proclaiming it as such. That probably tells you how I would vote.

    Rivalry just feels like the entire fanbase should be disliking the opponent. I dont feel that really applies with anyone we play. Where the older fans hate the team and the youger fans/students do as well... It just doesn't seem there.

    Re: ECU Holtz vs LA Tech Holtz

    We have a couple of teams we don't like - UTSA and UAB - but it's not at a real rivalry level yet. Both teams have beaten us only once I believe, but we just don't like them. I looked at our schedule and really don't see a real hate their guts rival. Actually back in the old days I really didn't feel that way about Northwestern even though we split the four games while I was there. If we continue to play SMU they could become a good rival for us, but they still consider they're in the same league as Baylor and TCU. They're a team you can hate.

    I agree, we are attempting to manufacture a rivalry because we need one and don't have any rivalries. As one of those older fans, USM wasn't a rivalry in the 1970's either.

    Road to the championship goes through Hattiesburg, it seems. They're back on the rise while we wasted our time on the ladder.

    And we'd naturally play them first before the championship, so it'd be higher on the list

    But since Holtz is capable of neither, it's really just off-season banter.

    Nah. They are just mediocre. It'll be North Texas until someone (hopefully us) proves otherwise. All played fairly close games last year so its not like anyone is leagues ahead.

    The "ECU Holtz" is much, much better. CUSA was a pretty good conference then and he won a couple of championships. We just need to hope we never get the "USF Holtz", that guy was really terrible, much worse than the "Tech Holtz." It is that "USF Holtz" that will keep Skip in Ruston for years to come regardless of your opinion of his time here. IMO unless he starts enjoying much more success than nine win seasons with no conference championships; no Power 5 schools will hire him away.

    Skip isn’t going anywhere unless we fire him or he accepts a position that would be considered a lateral move or slight upgrade. Are 8-9 win seasons and a bowl game acceptable to the hard core fan base?

    No fake fans allowed on the bandwagon when Coach Holtz raises the CUSA championship. You know who you are

    I don't think he has put us thru "shit." Overall he's done a "good" job here. Like others I want more. I want CUSA championships (plural) and I want 10+ win seasons (plural), and I want a Top 25 finish, or two, and I want an Access Bowl berth (at least once). For some on BB&B my wanting these accomplishments makes me an anti-Holtz ogre! Is that because THEY THINK Holtz is incapable of accomplishing it? Hmmmm...? Maybe it is THEY who are anti-Holtzers. I have always said I like Skip Holtz, as a coach and as a person. I just set the bar for Tech Football higher than he, heretofore, has been able to accomplish. And I'm perfectly okay with Holtz being the coach to take us to that promised land I desire. JUST DO IT!

    Ask me at the end of MSU, MSU, USM, USM, WKU, USC, NWSt, UAB...

    But I agree. I appreciate what he's done so far, very much. I don't NOT want 4 bowl wins in a row!

    But I want those things you want. And I'm not sure he can do it. That's not a knock on him as a person. And he's welcome to make me eat crow

    My fandom can't be called into question simply because I want something he's not been able to deliver despite ostensible talent.
