aftermath of 2010 Sugar Bowl. the flaming for losing was bad enough but then you guys trying to turn a Cotton Bowl victory over a mediocre A&M team into some sort of monumental victory made it worse.
Ok I'll buy that but i started noticing it around the mid 2000's. I have been to most every LSU-Arkansas game since the mid 90's and that's the period to me that sticks out as the time that the Arkansas fans as a whole stopped looking at LSU as a forced rival and started bringing a lot more vitriol. I have been trying to figure out exactly what triggered it ever since.
With LSU-Bama, I can point to the exact day, I realize it's not going to be that simple but just trying to get a better idea.
I do agree with you though that it ramped up even more again around 2010.

Nah, if it were just on the field results then Arkansas would feel this way about a lot of schools. They focus on LSU though.

LSU actually became good instead of being the dumpster fire you were in the 90s, it had more to do with that than anything.
Tennessee was also dropped from our schedule as a permanent cross division opponent around this time as well.

I've never been to an LSU-Ark game, probably will go to more now that the game is in Fayetteville every other year but I have a lot of LSU friends and family, many of whom live in DFW like I do. I obviously have no beef with them as they are good people and good fans. My only disdain for LSU fans are the ones on this board that constantly flame Arkansas.

Honestly you are reading into this alot more than it is. On this board we get the most shite from LSU fans. So really you should be asking when is it that LSU fans started focusing on Ark so much. Retaliation to countless troll threads is all I've seen. No real hate toward your team but towards your posting base here.

Obviously this is at least part of it but like my previous post indicates, I don't think that's the whole story.

I didn't know that. Could also be a factor.

It does, you are talking about fanbase interactions.
We never had a "rivalry" with SMU, until they became a pro team in the 80s, then it became pretty fricking heated between out fan bases.
Never gave a shite about the aggys until the late 80s.
Texas was the only team that mattered on the schedule before then.
It had to do with who was "good" as far as fan base interaction, but in this case LSU has horrible fans and that plays a factor.

It was. About the time Tennesse started to decline was about the time the were dropped from our schedule and is the same time period you are referencing, the fan base simply moved on to the next "good" team.
Same thing happened in the 80s, Texas started to decline, SMU turned pro, they moved on to SMU, SMU was put to death, Aggy was the only other decent team moved on to Aggy, etc.
You are not special.

Serious question, at what point in time did Arkansas fans start hating LSU more than they love the Hogs? .
Because they realize that LSU posters fall for the bait more than any other fan base.

Little brother syndrome.

I asked LSU fans the same question after the AnM game.

I don't hate y'all but on all websites/boards etc i read overall LSU fans are the biggest assholes and bizarrely for no reason whatsoever snobs- oh and certainly provide the most hilarious meltdowns. That said there are some freaking awesome LSU fans.
Sorry you lost.
Sorry you lost.

LSU is my 4th favorite team.
While I get a chuckle to see the meltdown I am sitting here wondering why Les does this.
It's clear they had more talent than Clemson and the LSU players played hard throughout the game. Nor can I fault the defense, they played lights out against a good team and a good OC in Morris.
It comes back to offensive development and game management and that's on Les. The players are there, the coaching is not.

Thanks, I think it really came down to preparation and "want". LSU fans had given us locker room material all year and when it came to crunch time I think that is what pushed us over the top.
I love how Arkansas fans think they are being targeted by LSU fans at all times. It's a sign of paranoia.
How many Arky fans here think that LSU fans are being mean to them?

I think Ole Miss fans will find some shitty city park and tear down the goal posts after Miss. State loses. They are embarrassing themselves in the game thread.
