Too Bad LSU Doesn't Have An Intrastate Rival

I'm somewhat jealous of the intrastate rivalries such as enjoyed by bama-Auburn, Ole Miss-Miss State, Texas-Texas A&M (I've never seen such hate for another team from a fanbase), Kentucky-Louisville, Florida-Fla State, Georgia-Ga Tech.
Nobody in Louisiana is close to being LSU's equal and that's too bad because the rivalry from instate teams is part of the enjoyment of college football.
Maybe at some point in the future? And who might it be?

Our rivalry makes CFB so much better from my standpoint

I don't know... I think I'd take easy recruiting over in state rival.

Tulane made the dumbest conference move in all time history a long time ago. Youngin.

Then you must be a child.
I've never seen so much hatred in a fanbase as LSU fans hatred of Tulane.
Tulane IS LSU's intrastate rival, it's just that LSU fans hate Tulane SO much, they refuse to believe it.

As explained before, its not the team. Sports barely scratches the surface of our hatred for that school.

LSU doesn't have to have a rival at all do they?

Maybe when UCL (University of Central Louisiana) does the name change, starts football, moves up from NAIA through the ranks to FBS, does the conference carousel from Sun Belt up to SEC (supplanting Arky) and thus becomes a permanent SEC West opponent?

We used to until Tulane dropped out of the SEC and de-emphasized football

How can you name intrastate rivalries and leave off South Carolina-Clemson? The hatred we have for each other is beyond comprehension.
Downvote.
Downvote.

The hate and obsession is pretty intense out of Austin right now. I've never seen anything like it. The highest ratings for A&M games come out of Austin, their radio show hosts only talk about us, their head coach is talking about our players tweets, and my teasip friends are so butthurt it is unreal.

Last one was Tulane in the 70's. And even then they went a quarter of a century without beating us (1948-73.)

It's always hard for me to believe Tulane had a bigger stadium than LSU. Unfortunately Tulane Stadium was long gone by the time I was born.

It is. If you had an instate rival then you would be used to missing out on state recruits, and perhaps then your fanbase would understand that Louisiana high school kids are not actually your slaves and have the right to go to another school without harassment and repercussions.
