Wouldn't this be a good year to bring back the LSU-Tulane rivalry?
Both teams should be competitive and it would certainly garner interest in the bayou. LSU could replace Grambling, Army or Georgia State with a real game for bragging rights in Louisiana.
It's an opportunity for Kelly and his blue chip talent to prove themselves against Willie Fritz and his band of mid-major misfit brainiacs.
I've got LSU as 7.5 point favorites as their superior talent and depth would eventually wear down the Green Wave, but after Tulane's Cotton Bowl win over USC and Heisman winner Caleb Williams anything's possible.

Break down your own schedule and tell us how many wins UT will have this year

Off topic, but I believe that we'll be in the 8-4 to 9-3 range. Have approximately 4 or 5, 50/50 games including a trip to Bryant-Denny.

It’s a dumb topic. LSU always handled their in state opponents. Texas opponents always handle UT

Out of all your known alters, this one may be the worst.

By "handled" do you mean avoid?

Sure I guess Texas Tech and TCU avoided you last year. Whatever helps you feel better about your football program. All hat no cattle.

UT beats Bama . The decline is real

We don’t lose to Rice, which is our equivalent to Tulane. The other Texas schools are in the same conference as us. If Tulane was in the SEC the players would be better and they’d steal a few from LSU every now and then. Plus we have 3 or 4 of’em to deal with while you have a single Tulane.

Tyjae Spears is gone so I'm not sure who Tulane has to replace his electric playmaking abilities with. Tulane has a season like that once every 25 years or so and usually the year after they revert to sucking again. I do think Fritz is a good coach though so maybe he can keep them from absolutely flatlining again, but I don't expect them to repeat what they did last year.
As far as the rivalry, that ship has sailed long ago. Only boomers care about that anymore. I was in school when we had that attempted 10 year deal that stopped midway through. No one cared about any of the games except maybe the 07 one when they played in the dome and had special Katrina uniforms. There's no hate there anymore.
Maybe if Tulane stayed in the SEC and didn't leave to play a national schedule so they could chase the eastern seaboard Jew money it would still have meaning today, but alas. It's basically the equivalent of the Texas/Rice rivalry now.

Thanks for the insight. Always liked LSU and their fan base. Hope you repeat as SEC West champs and get revenge on Georgia.
BTW - Why does Georgia get to play a home game for the SEC Championship?

It sounds like a good idea on paper but there really isn’t any interest in it
There’s no way LSU stoops low enough to play at Yulman stadium

Are we allowed to say horns down again yet?

I’d be interested in seeing what the record is the past ten years compared to the 10 years before that

Are you really stupid enough to think that LSU and Tulane would cancel already scheduled games to make this happen?
