[QUOTE="COOL MAN, post: 129347514, member: 1080466"] Hey Swine.....speaking of rivalry games (and I don't know your age).......do you have any perspective as to how much the politicians intervened to get UL and UK back to playing again full-time ?? I presume the matchup was historically viewed by UK fans much as we Mountaineer fans view a similar game with Marshall. Of course, UL eventually began.....when Schellenberger finally arrived, I guess.....its institutional move forward toward the critical mass it ultimately achieved on and off the football field. Marshall isn't even remotely blessed with the kind of juice that UL has....financially or public support-wise......so we have the luxury of maintaining our current obstinance toward the entire idea. Anyway, I guess I just figure it initially took political pressure to get the series restarted permanently back (I think) in the early 90's.....and presumably without Cawood Ledford and Ralph Hacker's blessing :wink: [/QUOTE]
