Then you must be a child.
I've never seen so much hatred in a fanbase as LSU fans hatred of Tulane.
Tulane IS LSU's intrastate rival, it's just that LSU fans hate Tulane SO much, they refuse to believe it.
I'm not young and was born and raised in New Orleans. I can assure you that I, and most other LSU fans I know, do not hate Tulane.
My Father's generation hated Ole Miss. My generation hasn't really hated anyone except Alabama and that is just since 2007.
I was a child when Archie Manning was QB at Ole Miss and I firmly remember the hatred of Ole Miss by my parents, family, and their friends. Don't get me wrong, I remember the Tulane-LSU rivalry and remember both fan bases getting up for the games. However, the "hatred" came from Tulane fans and not so much from LSU fans.
Tulane, simply, has not been competitive with LSU during my lifetime, outside of a 4 year period from 1979-1982.
