The reason we're told they need to be kept is because of tradition.


I hope we can keep UF and LSU for the sake of tradition too. Now you're included. All is well, right?

we already allowed y'all to consider LSU your "SuperBowl"....that was until Miles made Petrinos arse quit....now y'all might as well be another OOC opponent.

12 years isn't enough time to build rivalries. Maybe if LSU stays relevant for a good while they can build a rivalry.

Yes, it's all the other teams in the SEC conspiring to keep LSU from playing night games. Has nothing to do with the television networks and the millions and millions of dollars they shell out to your athletic department every year.


Yeah CBS would love it if LSU refused to play the 2:30 slot every time it was offered.



Jesus LSU fans, why the hell are you all so damn butthurt 100% of the time?








































Cuz of 1/9.

Perfect example.

Rivalry games are not the last game of the year.

In fact, the a majority of rivalry games are played before the last game of the year.

If you had a rival instead of picking out a couple teams a year to be your superbowl, you would already understand.

i don't think Auburn should be allowed to fly that pigeon around the stadium anymore. it's a health hazard.

They had a rival in Tulane, but they are too scared to play them on an annual basis like Georgia plays GT, USC plays Clemson, etc.

well there is a rivalry game just about every weekend in the B1G so his point carries water.

Also you guys don't play UF on the last weekend of the season, so there is another one.
