I agree that the Coal Bowl is by far the biggest rivalry in AA. Year in and year out the game draws a lot of people to the game and it is always played like the state championship. It is usually always competitive no matter how good or bad either team has done going into the game. Players, fans and coaches on both sides look forward to this game every year. It has always been exciting and this years Coal Bowl has even more implications with the winner taking home bragging rights and the home field advantage going into the playoffs with the #2 seed out west.
