Why would either fan-base reject it? A goodhearted rivalry is good for both teams imo.

It was manufactured. Never was a rivalry.

LSU Seniors' Superbowl

quote:

Blackwell said this game “means everything” to the seniors.

“We have a personal vendetta against Arkansas,” he said. “It’s the only team that we’ve played consistently in a series that we won’t have a chance to have a winning record against in our career and that stings a little bit. Arkansas has taken that boot away from us the last few years, and we really want to get it back in Baton Rouge before we leave.”

that would be lowering out standards.

we prefer a rivalry with a team that elevates us towards larger goals.

for the most part, beating Arkie is like beating Ole Miss.

4 games in a row decided by a total of what - 15 points? You'd think the rivalry is growing but LSU fans like to pretend their a bunch of snobs even though they smell like corndogs.

all SEC games are rivalries as far as im concerned. Obviously not all rise to the level of barners vs. bamers.

hey WTH are you doing back here? WE AGREED for ONE MONTH! you were not to come back until the sec championsip game which would have then been ONE MONTH of bannage.

You left for only 20 days. So you chickened out on the bet eh?

Admins should permaban you now for this. pathetic.

It would be like starting a rivalry with Florida in the mid 90s, new money, no real tradition, not sure if it will be sustainable at this point, etc.

LSU is new to big boy football, they could easily fall back to a aTm or OM level and no one wants a rival with a team that is far inferior to you.

Because arky isnt worthy,we all despise them for obvious reasons. They would probably fit in better in another conferance. I would say sun belt or southland or possibly conferance usa

When's the last time Arkansas won the SEC?

----

eta:

Arkansas isn't relevant within the CFB universe. And until very recently, its been pretty mediocre within the SEC. Simply put, it's an insult for LSU fans to have their program compared to Arkansas. They're far beneath us.

Arkansas is becoming a stronger program, though. And if Arkansas is able to win a couple SEC championships, I would welcome them as a rival. But until that happens, they'll always be irrelvant in the minds of LSU fans.
