re: Why do LSU fans give a damn about Bama and Tennessee having a rivalry?

I have no idea what you're talking about. I loathe Florida. So does most every LSU fan I know. Nothing was forced on us, LSU and Florida were playing yearly for over two decades before the SEC even split. We've been playing yearly for almost 50 years. It wasn't manufactured at all, certainly not by the division split and not by UT/UA at all. ...and honestly the multitude of LSU fans who piss and moan about having to play Florida just come off as humongous pussies. I hope we play Florida every fricking year as long as there is an SEC

I don't care about playing Florida every year. There has been enough hate from the Spurrier years and games with a lot on the line in the last 10 to make that series mean something. And LSU more than holds their own now.

The problem is the REST of the damn schedule. In every other conference that plays FBS football, we would be playing USC (somewhere) next season. It makes absolutely no sense that it will now take seven years to complete a home and home series with Eastern teams other than UF.
