re: Does this epic Iron Bowl make LSU fans want an in-state rival

Ah yes, the ranked TCU team that won't be playing a bowl this season...

That's not the point. They were a quality opponent when we agreed to go on the road and play them. It's not our fault we zapped their confidence.

I hate when people call us Mississippi

SCAR should be worried about ending Dabo and Big Bro's "SEC win streak"

Maybe the rest of the SEC's Big Bro's. We have had no trouble with Clemson recently.

UL, however, is a solid team that would play LSU anywhere anytime, but you dodged them to take on a subpar TCU team.

This is the team you claim that we "dodged"?
TOTAL DOMINATION

No because we love our state. Every rival we have had we have owned. Ole miss is the only one who gets a win from time to time.

Tulane: pounded into irrelevance
Ole miss: still relevant, but once every 10 years.
A&M: process of pounding into irrelevance

LSU took care of business and destroyed the football program of Tulane, their in-state rival. Before LSU kicked its program into high gear, Tulane was a respectable rival and a former member of the SEC. I watched the Green Wave beat LSU more than once.

If you have a prolonged rivalry, it just means that neither team works very hard to overtake the rival and both teams enjoy the "well, our season stunk but at least we beat our rival" aspect of the game. Prolonged rivalries are for programs that don't have the guts to stare their rival in the eye while giving them the proverbial bayonet.

I would think that both Alabama and Auburn would be above the thought of having a true rival but I guess I'm wrong.

The could play The University of Louisiana on a yearly basis, but they are scared.

We played Tulane every year up until 2007, but they couldn't compete.

quote:

You played them 3 times since WWII, like I said, scared, you didn't have to provide data to prove my point.

I guess it's useless explaining to Baylor fan that a little ole thing called "strength of schedule" is important when you are an SEC team with national championship aspirations every year.

LSU beat Auburn quite easily and so will Alabama. Unsurprising thread from unsurprising poster.

The fact that Auburn is 10-1 and is still in contention for the SEC title is just killing you isn't it....LOL
