re: It was weird to see how important this game was for LSU.

If you believe that you probably believed the sips when they said we weren't their rival. There is no greater threat to LSU than a successful A&M. A winning A&M program can poach Louisiana and shut them out of Texas just was we did in the '90s. They can't keep up resource wise unless they are winning.

The average Rant LSU fan doesn't even accept this reality but I guarantee you the folks who have been around for a while do understand it.
