Welcome to Butler!

Will Butler's admission to the A-10 strengthen our PFL Football rivalry?

Good Rival

I know the Butler rivalry was strong with Coach Kelly.

Anytime you recruit in the same area, you have a coaching rivalry.

Butler rivalry will get personal for some of us next season and beyond. Two recruits from our high school committed there. Two recruits also committed to UD! All four were very close team mates and good friends. That game is already circled on the schedule!

Butler's jump to the A-10 has to be a plus for this coming season and beyond. Unfortunately, this year's game will be in Indianapolis, but a budding rivalry will be in the making. IMO we should be able to generate more fan interest in FB if we can develop rivalries by scheduling more BB games with some of the other Pioneer League Schools that wouldn't hurt our OCS (e.g. Davidson, Marist, USD, Drake or Valpo.)

Good idea Bat'71! Build up some history between schools. At our high school, we frqueently had to cheer "let's play football" at basketball games!
