I don’t feel great about losing historic rivalries

I see a lot of my fellow LSU fans glad we may not have to play Alabama or Florida every year now. Obviously it makes it easier to make it to a natty. Lsu hasn’t done too bad playing for them compared to its peers but you still aren’t going to win them every year or every other year or every 3 years because your schedule is a little bit easier.

But what you will lose are games that do happen every year that are usually incredible spectacles of sport and history. I really don’t care for where college football has been heading, seemingly attempting to shed every tradition it has, the rivalries being the most important ones, on its way to being a mini NFL.

I love playing Alabama, Florida, Ole Miss every year. These are great, historical games, with animosity bread by playing continuously for decades. We will never replicate that with Oklahoma or Texas. We’ve barely gotten some sparks together with Texas A&M after a decade with them.

Tl:dr, college football is evolving, and I think it’s clearly losing what has made it so special for 100+ years all for the almighty dollar. It sucks.
