re: LSU and Florida may discontinue playing each other every year

In 1991 SEC Meetings pondering the ramifications of USC and Arkansas entering the Conference, Joe Dean did not want this annual series dumped on us but was powerless to do anything about it.

I have never heard of that in the 20+ years that have passed since then. LSU wanted to keep its perennial games with both Florida and Kentucky. In 2002, when we had to drop one of them, we dropped Kentucky. Your post is the first I've ever heard of LSU trying to get out of playing Florida in either 1992 or 2002.

After SEC Expansion we subsequently got our arse whipped 10 out of 12 meetings by them

As bad as we were from 1992 through 1999, we would have lost about the same amount to Tennessee, Georgia, etc. Remember we also played Kentucky every year for a while, too, and didn't fare all that well against them, either. We were 3-5 vs. Kentucky from 1992 through 1999.
