Rivalry in college football survey (Academic Research)

[sportprof101]

What does rivalry mean to you? I'm a college student working with my professors to answer that question and others related to understanding fans' perspective of college football rivalries. Please take our survey (5-10 minutes) to tell us what rivalry means to Bowling Green fans, and we'll come back to share the results once compiled.

We collected rivalry data initially in 2013, and we're hoping for more data now and to track possible changes in rivalry over time. Thanks in advance for helping with our research!(To Mods: We apologize if this isn't acceptable use of the board. If you'd like it posted elsewhere, just please let us know and we'll remove it; however, our similar survey last time was popular for discussion in the team forums, and we hope your members will also enjoy it)

Fun survey...Toledo sucks

[footballguy51]

I picked two teams. Toledo and Miami. My comments? "Toledo sucks and Miami blows." I think that's some valid feedback.

That paraphrases our old explanation of why BG is so windy. Although it was the opposite IIRC. "Miami sucks from the south and Toledo blows from the north."

I allocated 70pts to TU and 30 to Miami. Probably should have gone 80/20 or 90/10. I have some nice memories attached to the times I've visited Oxford (well...Hueston Woods). Other than my wife... nothing good ever came out of Toledo.

I went 85/15 Toledo/Miami. Honestly, there isn't really anybody else I would consider a rival in the MAC. If we start meeting NIU in the MACC on an annual basis then we might be able to argue a mini one there. However, there isn't really anybody else in the MAC that I circle on the calendar and think, "We HAVE to beat them just for the sake of beating THEM!"
