re: Can't blame LSU fans for cheering for Notre Dame

[quote]The only thing that baffles me is how a fanbase with so much passion...could have gone this long without a decent rival.quote]

Well, we used to hate Ole Miss, but they slid down the ladder so far the game became an uninteresting foregone conclusion. Had an instate rival,Tulane, and they got so bad it was like sending regular atheletes to the Special Olympics. Had a decent rivalry w/ The Aggies, but they quit playing us...you tell me how a Texan's mind works. Couldn't tolerate recruits leaving the state? So, that's how we end up with Bama....

It's like being a boxing titleholder in a weak division, looking for someone decent to fight.
