Growing up in Baton Rouge, LSU tended to be very likable at the time (70's through 90's). If you apply a non-sports analogy, the SEC was ruled by tyrants (Alabama football, Kentucky basketball), and LSU was the courageous underdog who rose up and challenged those tyrants,quote:.
and held their own

LSU owned Alabama in the state of Alabama in the 80's (won in 82, 84, 86, 88), and tied in BR in 85. LSU won the SEC and/or went to major bowls (Sugar, Orange) 3 times in that decade, and had a 10 win season in 88.
As Alabama was the established elite team and LSU was the underdog, I'd say that was quite a respectable challenge.
