re: Theory about the Auburn-A&M series

A&M is new to the SEC. Most of Auburn's rivalries were years in the making or took some "scandal" (Cam Newton/Miss State) to create hate in. They're both land grant schools, both have had to play second fiddle to a big, overpowered state school, both are more interested in the bigger conference fish on their schedule.

It sort of reminds me of how the LSU series felt to me prior to the earthquake game, records not withstanding.
