It would have been continued had not Onelane demanded that LSU fans buy a few-game swath of Onelane season tickets (including the LSU game) when they play in New Orleans.

Georgia tech and Louisville are definitely above Tulane or whatever the equivalent Louisiana school would be. At least historically. But yes, I agree, no state can rival texas, so of course the univ. of texas has a harder time playing their in-state schools.

Tbh the more I think about it with Tulane pretty much just being a school for jersey/New York Jews (not a real southern school) I would rather see the LSU prop up another school that is in the state but also is a mostly Louisiana school.

What is the Louisiana school you refer to? Do you mean ULL? There is no University of Louisiana. There is only a University of Louisiana-Lafayette just like there is a University of Louisiana-Monroe.

While I fondly remember the days when LSU and Tulane would play the last regular season game of the year, and in New Orleans where there is a very large percentage of LSU fans, the loser fans in certain bets had to push the winner fans around the blocks in wheel barrows, I do not think that this will happen on any kind of a regular basis.
LSU will not give up a home date to Tulane as there is too much money to be made to having any other school come to Tiger Stadium, Tulane included, for a game. LSU would take a bath in the amount of cash that they would lose to play Tulane at Yulman. I don't think it would work at the Superdome, either.
I think this would be the equivalent of Ohio St. playing a home and home on a yearly basis with Ohio or Kent St.
I do miss the LSU/Tulane rivalry. It was definitely much bigger in New Orleans than anywhere else in Louisiana.

I love it when Tiger fans refuse to acknowledge that the rest of the country refers to ULL as Louisiana. They seem so petty...and small.

LSU did not have to face our two best teams of the past 25 years (1998 and 2022). Tulane would have won in 1998.

I agree. LSU was really not competitive and in the midst of a coaching nightmare with Gerry DiNardo. Tulane had a great team with a really good coaching staff. I think Tulane's best chance at beating LSU was that year. Last year could have happened, too, depending on intangibles in the game. No way would it have been a walk through for LSU but Tulane could have, with some luck, pulled it off.

It’s a dumb topic. LSU always handled their in state opponents. Texas opponents always handle UT
By "handled," do you mean avoid?

Rice lacks the great seasons like Tulane had in 2022 and 1998 but it ain't like you played them in either season, so not sure that matters a whole lot. Both have been mediocre to horrible 99% of the time.

It’s more than just not a “good game”. The average score since 1983 is LSU 35 Tulane 14.

do they? They've only called themselves "Louisiana" for like 5 years, although they've wanted to for much longer. There was actually litigation between ULM and ULL on that issue. I don't think the rest of the country gives them enough thought to know what they call them, which can be said about basically every G5 directional state school. And believe it or not the original "University of Louisiana" was...Tulane, when it was founded in 1847

so why should LSU schedule an annual matchup with a program who has been horrible 99% of the time? On the off-chance they have a good season every quarter century? There's really no incentive for LSU to do that. What they have done is schedule an OOC game with a school in Louisiana almost every year, which IMO is more than enough

Tulane is no different than any other directional U in Louisiana. I'd like to see a rotation of Louisiana teams playing in Tiger Stadium every year, but Tulane isn't special enough to earn a yearly game.
