Why it matters

The biggest game gets the same single post

Rivalry week deserves a buildup, but most departments post once on game day. Students make their own graphics with the wrong colors and fonts. A planned set of branded posts keeps the hype on brand.

Ideas for Rivalry Game Graphics

Countdown posts

Post five days out, three days out and on game day. Change only the number and the photo.

Series history

Share the all-time record or the story behind the trophy in the caption. Alumni love the reminders.

Student section theme

Announce the theme early so students have time to plan outfits.

Seniors’ last rivalry game

Feature seniors playing their final rivalry game. It doubles as a tribute.

Trophy or traveling award

If the game has a trophy, put a photo of it front and center.

Sportsmanship reminder

Add a line about respect for the visiting team. It keeps the energy positive.
