Coast Guard versus merchant Marine Academy at Fenway Park

I watched it about 10 minutes of that game and was pleasantly surprised at how good the quality was

Or maybe I should say the quality exceeded my expectations coming in

The Brawl
The Game
War for the Wheel
USD vs. SDSU

Come to mind first. It will take time to establish and enhance FCS rivalry games considering the recent losses to FBS.

I enjoyed the 1980’s Governor’s Cup between EWU and Idaho. The governors of each state would wager a basket of Idaho potatoes vs. Washington State apples.

I would go with the apples but the big one is infected with worms
