It could happen, but we'll wait and see. People thought LSU-Arkansas would become a huge blood rivalry when they joined, but it never really materialized. We have history with A&M, but we had it with Arkansas, too, albeit further back. LSU and Arkansas played frequently back in the early 20th century, and I've heard that the reason the series ended was that it got too bitter.

Supposedly, in one game when we were playing them, we had the ball inside their five yard line and got a penalty. The ref penalized us half the distance to the goal. Our goal. Out past midfield. I can just see the meltdown if that happened today.

I think there are a few differences:

1. We have always played yall close. Sure its been streaky lately, but the all time is actually close considering we were an ROTC rent-a-win most of that time.

2. The oil and gas connections.

3. Houston
