alabama and UT are are rivals, but auburn is our traditional rival. didn't mean to offend anyone but tulane is your traditional rival. Seeing as how you would still play ole miss every season if the constant out of division game was taken away I really don't see how it is relevant to this thread.
if it was a traditional rivalry that would never happen

You said the only people who were pro-change didn't have any rivalries. We pointed out that we DO in fact have our own rivals.
You were wrong. You took a left turn when you should have turned right. Just admit it.

The Ole Miss and MSU rivalry has calmed down for the better part of this decade being that they can't field decent teams at the same time since 2000.
Your full of it

Ole Miss is indeed a traditional rival of LSU. You can't limit a rival to just one, just because it doesn't fit your argument. Tulane was a rival, Ole Miss still is, although the rivalry has waxed and waned somewhat over the years. A traditional rival doesn't have to be limited to instate rivalries by any rule of which I am aware.

Auburn and Alabama have played fewer times (76) than Alabama and Tennessee (91) or Mississippi State (93). There was a 41 year gap between 1907 and 1948 in the Alabama-Auburn rivalry. They played 12 times between 1893 and 1907. By SEC terms, I suppose the Auburn-Alabama rivalry is a relatively young one.
LSU has played Ole Miss 97 times and Tulane 97 times. I am not sure how Tulane would qualify as a traditional rival but Ole Miss wouldn't.
