Georgia Southern–Georgia State rivalry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Georgia Southern–Georgia State rivalry, also known as Modern Day Hate, is a college athletics rivalry between the Georgia Southern Eagles and Georgia State Panthers.[1][2] Both schools are members of the Sun Belt Conference (SBC). For the 2021–22 school year, the men's soccer rivalry temporarily moved to the Mid-American Conference, with both schools joining that league for men's soccer after the SBC disbanded its men's soccer league.[3] However, SBC expansion in 2022 and the addition of three "Power Five" programs led to the reinstatement of SBC men's soccer effective in 2022–23.[4] While the teams have only met nine times in football (due to Georgia State beginning their program in 2010),[5] the rivalry dates back to the 1970s in basketball and other sports.[6]
