No offense but that just means you're probably less than 50 years old. Any football fan born prior to 1970 would know that OM vs LSU was a helluva rivalry for decades.



Fair enough, and yes I am < 50. But if you have to start an argument as to why a rivalry is good with "if you were >50" well...

There is no argument. LSU and OM have hated one another for decades, far beyond the normal flow of grudging respect for conference foes. For much of the past 3 decades, it was rare for both teams to be contenders, largely due to the decline of Rebel football after the 70's, though LSU had a couple of dry spells along the line. If OM sustains several years of being a contender along with LSU, we may well see the national public ranting about the rivalry once again.
