It probably would have been more fun earlier on...they seem pretty excited about Coach Stoops. But they have SC and Florida in the weeks leading up to ya'lls game. The air will probably be back out of the balloon by that point.

all I know is that the cannon ball thing produces a lot of smoke and it clearly goes directly onto the field IDK how the players handle that
sprinting with smoke in your lungs only happens out west
eta maybe I shouldn't say "clearly" because it could be the angle

Fwiw did a little research Mississippi State came to Baton Rouge many more times than LSU went into Mississippi, well into the 70's actually
Again, stadium size was the key back then. Probably made more money coming to BR than playing at home, it was all about $$$$ back then too, just not multi millions

looking at the series history, I noticed that Ole Miss played in Baton Rouge every game from 1936 until 1952 (no game played in 1943). Any of our resident historians know what the deal was with that? Also, LSU has had a huge home field advantage in the series (as far as location goes)
Because Tiger Stadium was the biggest in the south (alternating with Tulane stadium) and visiting teams could make more $ here than at their home stadiums.

Its interesting to think about how TV deals changed the game and dictated how teams scheduled.

Both
Miss state came to br from 34-58 then 59-71 (except for one yr) then 72 & 73

Are you fricking kidding?
Maybe I'm going for the bait, but I guess you think because Army fielded a football team, they were somehow dodging the war?
CLUE1: LSU is the Old War Skule for a reason.
CLUE2: A&M also fielded a team for each year of the war.
Also: team rankings 1950-1969 - Johnny Vaught needs to get a mention in this thread.

I think the reason OM was willing to play all those games in Red Stick was because TS was bigger than theirs and the purse was split 50-50.

Damn you made a fool of yourself in this thread.

01 and 02.
LSU went to Lexington in 01 and 02. They adjusted the schedules those seasons to what they used from 02 to 2011.

Its not LSU's fault the Mississippi school's had small crappy stadiums back in the day. The Mississippi officials knew they could make 4 or 5 times the money playing in TS and readily agreed.
