Rivalries & Top Games to Attend
Paint Bucket Bowl
Rival Team: Memphis Tigers
The Red Wolves have a fierce rivalry with the Memphis Tiger, which dates back to 1914 when ASU beat Memphis 18-6. The name of the rivalry is derived from the fact that the winner is awarded a trophy made out of a paint bucket and brushes. The winner also gets to smear a designated part of the rival’s campus with paint. Memphis leads the all-time series 30-23-5, but the Red Wolves will be howling to even things up shortly.
Trail of Tears Classic
Rival Team: ULM Warhawks
The Red Wolves and Warhawks have met on a somewhat regular basis since 1959, but things didn’t really kick-off until 2006 when ULM joined the Sun Belt Conference. The Red Wolves lead the all-time series 22 games to 14 games and have a five-game winning streak that they hope to extend when the two schools meet this season.
Arkansas State vs Louisiana-Lafayette
Rival Team: ULL Ragin Cajuns
The rivalry between these two schools dates back to 1953 when the Red Solves eked out a 13-12 victory over the Ragin' Cajuns. However, it wasn’t until 1966 that the two teams began meeting on a regular basis. The Ragin’ Cajuns lead the all-time series 23-19-1, which doesn’t sit well with the Red Wolves who hope to change this in the coming seasons.
