re: Question for fans of schools with permanent OOC rivalry games

We used to play LSU annually at the beginning of the year.
I loved it—particularly as a young whippersnapper/pledge.
It was a one-of-a-kind “big” game for which to be spicy, and to fire up our newest young Ags for a huge opponent (as opposed to a Murray State or Lamar).

I just remember it being a nasty fun way to kick- off the season.
