I'm guessing the trash talk will be better than the loser bowl those two sorry teams will play on the field. With alums from both schools in our family, trash talking each other is a big part of the fun. This year it's just sad with no real heart in it.
My Dad was a loyal fan of both teams and he said of some of the past lousy teams: "They may be bums but, damn it, they're our bums".
