I miss the days of UD having a rival. Those 2 or 3 games were a little more fun and a little more intense than the rest, even for us fans. But I would not trade our success we have had since we lost our main rival to have a rival again. People keep bringing up playing Miami or other MAC schools to be rivals. Do any of these teams really excite the fans unless they have personal ties to that school as well? The MAC is a 1 bid league. Can teams from the MAC beat us? Yes, we almost lost to Miami, BGSU, and Eastern Michigan in back to back to back games a couple years back. But not one of those teams is good enough from year to year to be a rival. I know we have had a lot of history with Miami, but the last 10-15 years, I have not got any more excited for that game as I have for Winthrop. I hope to develop another rivalry, but I really hope we do not try and force one just to have one.
