So, in all years prior to 1992 (21 years ago), A&M played LSU 7 times more than Arkansas? And, because of those 7 games, 22 year old kids will give a frick?
Umm, ok - whatever. I think the geographical proximity between the two schools can help create a rivalry.

A&M has history with Lsu. It doesn't matter that all this history occurred before any of the players on either team were even born.

You don't get it. A rivalry is not only how many times you have played a team, but how much you dislike them.
TAMU and LSU were almost instant rivals. They absolutely despised each other in the 80s and 90s. There is something about each respective school that makes that happen. From what I hear, TAMU people hated LSU more than Texas back then. A different kind of dislike.
As an example from the TAMU perspective, you can pit us against Tech or Baylor as many years as you want. And we'll dislike them. And maybe enjoy some of the games. But it won't ever be a true rivalry.
Texas and LSU were true rivalries. And when the teams were playing on a regular basis they were equals as far as hate and respect all in one.
