re: Too Bad LSU Doesn't Have An Intrastate Rival

Very few people in the state of Louisiana, other than Tulane alumni, care about Tulane football. Possibly many many years ago there was a rivalry but today it's virtually nonexistent. Ask a LSU fan about Tulane and most of the time they'll tell you that they don't follow Tulane. They don't care about Tulane. You can bet that the fans in the other rivalries mentioned do care about the failure and success of their intrastate rivals to a point of obsession with many of them.

Like I said, you must be young. Otherwise you wouldn't be talking to me like you have all this inside info on an old rivalry that I don't already know.

Did we let it slip? Yes, we refused to play home and away series with our oldest rival.

And before anyone starts in on the "They have to be competitive to be considered a rival" bullshite, A&M's record vs UT isn't much better than Tulane's record vs LSU.

Start a thread on reviving the home and away series with Tulane and just watch the vitriol ooze out of your monitor. It's still there, just hibernating underground.
