Did You Know: LSU/MSU Series

With all the successful Grind and 0/10 response threads going on, I figured we could use a level-headed thread to discuss the series strange history.
107 total matchups(LSU leads 69-35-3):
-Only 21 of those 107 games have been hosted in Starkville.
-11 of those 21 have been played over the last two decades.
-LSU hosted every game from 1934 to 1957, minus three.
-In 1914, LSU didn't play MSU due to the Dawgs four straight years of shutting LSU out. On the 100 year anniversary mark(2014), it seems likely the Dawgs are finna eat.
Why were so many games hosted by LSU? Considering no one leaves Death Valley alive, why do LSU fans brag about this? Never seen such a weird series history between close rivals. I'm actually impressed with how close the series is, especially once the MSU win streak, that Dak and Mullen are about to start, is added to the record W/L...IMO.
In 1982, MSU won 27-24

Knowing how shitty of a town Starkville is now, can you imagine how bad it was right after the depression? Sheesh

Neither State nor Ole Miss had a stadium with the capacity of Tiger stadium. It wasn't until 1948 that state had max capacity of 30,000. LSU had that capacity in the mid 1930's.

LSU hosted many more than that up until the 70's minus a handful of times.
State would split gate revenue with LSU for playing in Baton Rouge. So State made more money playing in BR.

It was the largest stadium in the conference (alternating with Tulane Stadium occasionally - and look at the State/Tulane series, 39 away, 16 home) so State could make more money playing at LSU (or Tulane) than they could playing at home.
The same holds true for Ole Miss, more games played at LSU and Tulane than at home for those series.

Technically it's 0-14 right now (0-10 is since Miles).
In that 14 year stretch LSU has outscored MSU 548-187. That's an average margin of victory of 26 points.
Just some level-headed statistics.

Won it last second with a kicker from Baton Rouge, Dana Moore. LSU didn't sign him and he came to state. LSU was ranked 5th and it was an evening ESPN game and Scott Field brought in portable lights for the game.

You're so right. God our 1910 team was an embarrassment. That 5-31 rout from Sewanee: The University of the South STILL haunts my dreams. We were playing in New Orleans for christ's sake! Where was the home field advantage? Negatigers! THE WHOLE PLACE WAS FULL OF NEGATIGERS!
At least we got rid of Mayhew after that season. Can we all agree he was the WORST coaching gaff in LSU history? Only won ONE Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association game in TWO seasons!!! He was probably a worse hire than Shula for Bama.
But luckily we corrected the course and have had a decent hundred plus years since.
Oh - and in case you're curious what MSU has done these past few years I've included this informative graph to show you what a whoopin' y'all have been putting on Vanderbilt. Heck - you're only one win away from being .500 with Kentucky! That's an impressive feat considering the teams Calipari puts on the floor - no?
What does that percentage column represent? I'm not very good at math.
