It's because of this shitty game we can't have better scheduling in the SEC

Slightly unrelated, but this has to be one of the least competitive rivalry games with a name recently.

It’s from one thread discussing the topic. You could pull any fanbase from a particular thread and say the same thing. This is reaching

Any time I see the TSIO acronym here (and this is the only place I see it), it takes me a few seconds to remember what that stands for. And then a few seconds after that I forget all about it again.

Well, you do realize this is a message board right? It is somewhat odd that there is zero shitposting from either side about this game. So one person is curious and starts a thread about the topic. Then people discuss it because it's a message board. Then you create a response thread because you're so triggered by it instead of posting in the original thread. Do I have it about right?

It's funny to see Texas A&M in this thread talking about rivals when they have hid from theirs since they left the Big 12

No shite! The Bama trailer parks are all wound up this morning. This has turned into the big board of lies. Why are they all worked up? Their team is #1 and looks great, but everytime I refresh this page there are new threads about Lsu fans started by Bama.
Weird!!

Because they so badly want to be considered Alabama's biggest rival. So they keep tabs on Bama's actual rivalries.


About the best answer I've seen so far.

LSU is not a major rival to any Bama fan over 20. It has been a good game because of the talent on the field, but AU and Tenn. are the major ones. You better believe 95% of Bama fans were riding LSU this past weekend. If LSU plays Tennessee, the same 95% will be cheering them on there as well.

Kinda weird the way they act sometimes. Strange that they will cheer for A&M and Arky over Bama - when those teams are their rivals! Bama fans (except maybe kids here) would never do that with AU or Tenn.

I guess it is a Saban thing.

Yep. I have no anymosity whatever towards LSU. I just consider it a big, fun game every year that I look forward to, much like when we get crossover games with Georgia or Florida. I have absolutely no problem rooting for them against Auburn and Tennessee.

On the flip side, I wouldn't root for Auburn or Tennessee if they were playing ISIS.

That's fine, you are allowed to hate us. We aren't telling you who to hate.

We're just telling you most of us over the age of 25 think of Auburn and Tennessee as our rivals and LSU as a big game.

LOL at you thinking A&M gives two shits about LSU. When your endowment is 15x bigger than another schools, you tend not to care about them.



we basing football rivalries on endowments now?

That's literally the most A&M thing I've ever seen. Even more than penises in buttholes.

Most LSU fans my age hate Auburn more than anything else.

Most my dad's age hate Ole Miss more than anything.


You really think your players right now give two shits about TSIO over LSU?

I have no idea what the players think. Honestly, I don't think those guys usually care about teams as much as we do unless there is a specific reason from their time there behind it.
