        How about West AL as a rival for West FL? You may feel like it's an unfair match but if you hang around long enough you'll find out that things change. Besides they're closest to you guys.

          Like the florabama cup, I think someone tried to get that sponsored but the florabama bar was not interested and I want to say forbid the use of the name.

          UWA has tried to get the other two d2 schools in Alabama to establish a series but they hate each other. We did play both Tuskegee and Miles this season but that is unusual

            We had the Coastal Classic with Florida Tech but unfortunately they are no longer with us.

              I remember that, yeah the Florabama folks were none to pleased with us after all of the issues they had with that MTV show.

                Alabama & Florida, things in common and other considerations
                1. Similar Flags - A saltire, also called Saint Andrew's Cross or the crux decussata - Battle of the Crux
                2. The Gulf - Battle of the Gulf (Gulf War seems inappropirate, all things considered)
                3. They share a north/south border and an east/west border (Perdido River) - The two Border war or The Perdido River Rivalry
                4. Panhandle region -
                5. Central time zone -
                6. Common crops - Cotton, peanuts, hay, soybeans
                7. All of Southern Alabama was once the state of West Florida so there's that
                I've included a couple ideas but I'll leave it to you Argos & Tigers to take it from here

                    They lost to Viacom in court. The name is even used in my hometown of Florence, Alabama I noticed during my visit over the weekend.
                    ViacomCBS has escaped claims brought by the Pensacola, Florida beach bar Flora-Bama in Florida federal court that MTV's reality show "Floribama Shore" infringes its trademarks.

                      No wonder they were ticked off and didn't want us to use the term. I didn't know they actually lost the case.

                          Outside of regionally rivalries develop organically, you cant push it. The VSU/UNA/DSU rivalry developed because of great games in the regular season and then doing it again in the playoffs.
                          Go Blazers, Braves , Falcons, Hawks and Jackets!

                            West Alabama is 3-1 against West Florida. It seems once The Argos get a win over a team they believe they've surpassed that team. If the Tigers take them out this year, it's on, rivalry born. Right now UWF probably don't respect UWA, the one thing you need for a rivalry is mutual respect. If the Tigers catch them waiting for the Blazers in a couple weeks it could be a good one.

                              It's actually 3-2 UWA but UWF has won 2 of the last 3. This season gives the Argos a chance to tie the series and anyone who overlooks UWA is in trouble.
