[QUOTE="doowink, post: 1690466, member: 8085"] Well I'll weigh in here....instead of trying to establish another rivalry game, I suggest a 4 team classic, much like what they have in Indy every year with Butler, Indiana, Purdue, and I believe Notre Dame....call it the Midwest Classic or something along those lines (maybe a St. Judes classic...you might even get espnand coaches against cancer to tag into this as well)....have this in Chicago....besides the beloved, invite Marquette, maybe Loyola, Creighton, Iowa State, Louisville or might get Notre Dame or Kentucky, Memphis to come....might even some years get Illinois State or Southern Illinois University depending on the type of teams they have .....I know this wouldn't be the same as the rivalry game we currently have with Mizzo...but duplicating that type of game and atmosphere would be nearly impossible....getting teams from the area I think would guarantee good crowds (and for a good cause St Judes) and could be an event that would garner some national tv exposure .
