re: Which SEC school is most like your school and why?

Possibly Texas A&M.

- A&M and LSU still are the two schools that have produced the most generals and officers in all the American conflicts, with the exception of the service academies.

- LSU is also an A&M college and has a big military presence and heritage to this day.

- LSU and A&M are two of the best research institutions in the South if not the country. The Pennington Biomedical Research facility is huge.

- LSU is on a Top 30 Quality Thrust (ForeverLSU) that will continue. (They will get the budget mess straightened out.)

- In addition to Agribusiness and other similar curricula, both have excellent engineering schools, most notabaly Petroleum, Chemical, Civil, and Coastal Erosion; eseceially Petroluem.
Although, LSU also has an innovative and unique curriculum in "Hurricane" Engineering.

- Regarding Researsch again, both schools have worked and continue to work collaboratively on numerous studies and projects. Both schools vie for students in their specialties.

- Is home to the two largest football stadiums in the SEC and in the Top 5 in the nation.



LSU also shares some traits and similarities with Auburn as far as Engineering excellence.
