This bears mentioning again:

LSU had a home-only series with A&M that they dominated throughout the 1960s. A&M won in '74 -- and then crushed them in BR in '75 -- and LSU cancelled the series.

Fast forward to the mid-80s. A&M just starting to come into their own as a football program, and LSU looking for some cheap OOC wins. Schedules a home-and-home, and does well -- winning four of the first five.

Then 1991 hits, and tDecline starts. LSU begins each season getting tee'd-off upon by the Ags, culminating in the game on September 2nd, 1995. After their fifth consecutive loss, LSU AGAIN cancels the series, renegs on playing the scheduled games in '96 and '97, and stiffs A&M on the penalty fee for cancelling the series.

So A&M has made LSU quit twice in the last 40 years. So sorry that quitting the series isn't an option anymore...

Because winning four straight years sucks

Funny how LSU didn't try to get out of contracts with USC, FSU or Notre Dame around the same time frames.

It's also funny how you call getting to the end of a ten-year contract (1986-1995) "cancelling the series".

Oh and here's your fee...
