re: Battle for the Rag/ State of Louisiana Championship

While I fondly remember the days when LSU and Tulane would play the last regular season game of the year, and in New Orleans where there is a very large percentage of LSU fans, the loser fans in certain bets had to push the winner fans around the blocks in wheel barrows, I do not think that this will happen on any kind of a regular basis.

LSU will not give up a home date to Tulane as there is too much money to be made to having any other school come to Tiger Stadium, Tulane included, for a game. LSU would take a bath in the amount of cash that they would lose to play Tulane at Yulman. I don't think it would work at the Superdome, either.

I think this would be the equivalent of Ohio St. playing a home and home on a yearly basis with Ohio or Kent St.

I do miss the LSU/Tulane rivalry. It was definitely much bigger in New Orleans than anywhere else in Louisiana.
