The rivalry between Ferris State and Grand Valley State won't just be taking place on the basketball court this year. Both schools will be competing on the popular social media site, Facebook. Each school will be vying to win the Bragging Rights Trophy to display on their athletic department's Facebook fan page.

The contest begins on Saturday, Jan. 28 when the Laker basketball teams travel to Big Rapids, Mich. to take on the Bulldogs. It will run until Feb. 25 when Ferris State makes a trip to Allendale for the final regular season game of the year.
