in what universe is it fair that LSU plays Florida every year while Ole Miss plays Vanderbilt?


I remember one year at Arkansas, Houston Nutt complained about having to play tough competition from the East and not being able to play Vanderbilt.

The very next time he played Vanderbilt...he lost!

Please see series record for fact check

That really has nothing to do with it seeing as LSU and Florida aren't currently rivals. Hell, Tulane even made it to the Rose Bowl back in the day.

But Florida can just say the word...


...and end up going from the SEC to CUSA to the Big East too.

LSU drinks too much to remember if they have any rivals. They just wake up, look at the schedule, and start hating the next team.

You make a good point.

"Also, in what universe is it fair that LSU plays Florida every year while Ole Miss plays Vanderbilt? Care to take a stab at that one?" Because LSU likes playing high profile games. Quit crying, most LSU fans like playing Florida, including myself. Gotta beat the best to be the best. I will admit that this years schedule will be brutal though.


Well there you have it, most LSU fans like playing Florida, that also explains why us "negatigers" have a differing opinion and want to win championships while ya'll want to play Florida.

Because Alabama's rival sucks and they keep winning national titles instead of us....it's very simple.

You can't deny though that the fan base as a whole didn't have the level of alabama hatred before the Saban hire as it does now. The butt hurt was and still is extrodinary




I expect it to diminish a little each and every year. And for some of the logical/sane LSU fans, I think they accept Saban for what he is and honestly believe and recognize that Miles is a damn good coach that can stand toe to toe with Saban every year.

But lawdy mercy, there are some Tigah fans that won't ever get rid of the hate for that man.

I dislike the man....but it's only because that sumbitch cost us at least 1 NC and possibly 2.

Couldn't care less about him being at Bama otherwise. It would have been better for him to go ANYwhere but there though.

A lot of the hate has to do with Saban taking credit for all of LSU's success 3 years after he was gone.

FIFY my arse, our athletic dept hasn't said shite about trying to end the series. That's all on y'all.

Maybe not publicly, but an LSU Associate Athletic Director mentioned on radio last year, that there were some in the Fla Ath Dept that felt the same of the series scheduling unfairness.

And it wasn't former Gator Hoopster Nunez(spelling)?

Are you saying Jeremy Foley, or current UF AD, is on record as to wanting the series if it could be ended as permanent?

I hate this shite. You'll probably never rise higher than career middle management, and your wife will likely make a cuckold out of you and force you to raise kids that are not biologically yours.

That is the attidude of a beta male. I want what is fair. I want to have strings pulled for us to rise to the top where we belong. frick that shite.

The hate will not end at least until he leaves Bama. Your former coach doing his best (which is obviously pretty damn good) to deny his former school championships will do that.

1. Not a real rivlary
2. The loser is usually out of the SEC race.
3. MOSTLY because the pukes in the SEC office make it as easy for bama as possible by making these two teams play each other every year.
