Yep, in 2001 LSU had played KY every year going back to 1949 when Bear Bryant put LSU on the Wildcats permanent schedule. As of 2001 LSU had played KY 53 times as compared to only 49 times vs UF.

Come to think of it, LSU started playing A&M regularly right after Bear Bryant started coaching there, and Alabama showed up on LSU's permanent schedule after Bear started coaching there as well.

Apparently tBear liked playing in the "Drum".
