That can be said for all fanbases. Most people in general enjoy good natured fun with opposing fanbases. Then there are the true assholes who ruin it for everyone.

Texas has 1 football title since 1970. LSU has won all of its titles except 1 since 2003.


Pretty much everything Texas has done has been pre-1970, while everything LSU has done has been post-1970.

2002, 2005, played in the finals in 09 and should have closed it out in 2 games. Bullpen stunk it up, and LSU had some great at bats

LSU has absolutely zero in-state competition. Texas has 4 other P5 schools to deal with. Houston makes 5 next year. It will get better in 2024 but to say we have little in state competition is asinine.

We are.

UT represents the Great State of Texas in much better fashion than those weirdo Aggies.

And for that, I thank y'all.
