You Need Your Enemies

Think about what makes college football and especially SEC football so special. Your rivalries or enemies in the conference. There are so many great rivlries associated with the SEC that go back 100+ years. I was born in the late sixties so I don't recall Ole Miss as a rival to LSU. I have heard stories about it growing up but it didn't register with me because Ole Miss has pretty much sucked hard in my lifetime of following LSU football. This is unncharted territory for me as an LSU fan but I'm excited to see this historic rivalry rekindled.

We'll revisit this when you lose on Thanksgiving night.

Without enemies, it would just be a game

You're exactly right, we do need our enemies. Without that we have nothing. That is why the passion for football is so fricking crazy in the SEC. I remember once in the late 60's we had an LSU fan in the neighborhood that lived down the street. Ole Miss won the game that year and my dad and another neighbor planted the score, (3 ft #s) in rye grass in LSU dude's yard. That is a rivalry.
