re: LSU Fans Rank Your Rivalries: UF, Ole Miss, Arky, & Texas A&M

Some consider A&M the perfect rival for LSU, since they're so close, but proximity isn't a necessity for rivals. But like with Arkansas, most LSU fans like to pretend that A&M doesn't matter, which in all likelihood, means they do matter and they matter a lot. Such knee-jerk reactions are common with LSU fans, but that's what you get when a fan base thinks it's either too good to be your rival, or not good enough.

Also, probably around 10% of LSU's students are from Texas. That's part of the reason for the hate of A&M.
