Spartan Football Rivalries

Posted by crixus, 02 July 2011 · 383 views

Rivalries
1 - The Valley Rivalry (vs FresNO State).
Meetings: 75 Our Record: 33-39-3
Current Streak: FresNO State has won the last four games.  

2 - I call it the South Bay Rivalry (vs Stanford), but it doesn't have an official name. The Bill Walsh Legacy game was only played a couple of times.
Meetings: 64 Our Record: 14-49-1
Current Streak: Stanford has won the last three games.

3 - Here's another one without a name, so I call it the Intra-state Rivalry (vs San Diego State).
Meetings: 35 Our Record: 18-15-2
Current Streak: San Jose State has won the last two games.

~ These won/loss statistics are through the end of the 2010 season.

*The Valley Rivalry is the longest running, and the only one with an official name. And although the Bulldogs have dominated since we both joined the WAC, I sure hope we can keep it going after they leave. Afterall, were only down by six games.


Go Spartans!




If FresNO State does decide to pass us by once they join the MWC, then I hope the WAC can sign another area team. College rivalries are important, and the closest one's feature teams from a general area or region. That's why I hope Cal Poly, UC Davis or Sacramento State join our conference. It'll take some dedicated marketing to commit to a new rivalry, but it's worth it!

I agree with you that rivalry games make the sport more exciting. I too hope we can keep playing Fresno State after they leave for the MWC.
