Been a little bit closer since the "SEC" part of the rivalry started, though.

Really? A quick check tells me Arky is 10-17 against LSU since they joined the SEC. Is 10-17 that much better than 22-40?
I think not.

I don't care whether it's a rivalry or not, but I do enjoy the fact that the Pigs are second only to the Aggies in their ability to get the LSU fanbase riled up, not just going into the games but all year long.

I just wanted to put this "rival" non-sense to bed, if you will. I think I succeeded.

Makes for more interesting threads than the continual officiating/everyone is picking on us type threads that keep dominating the Rant.
Which is why I made this thread. I have also indulged myself on some of those threads you speak of. It's like a guilty pleasure. What so many of you fail to realize is how easy it is to rile up the low IQ gumps and those SEC fans of other programs that choose to e-pleasure them every day around here.

People can argue it all they want, and rivalries have a tendency to vary from sport to sport, but LSU-Arkansas baseball series definitely have a rivalry feel to them. Always extra chirping and usually a really good series. Both fanbases are awesome and there's always a buzz no matter who the home team is.

My man. The LSU/Arky baseball series is even more lopsided than the football series.

Oh, speaking of baseball....I got it..I got it!!

Everyone conveniently leaves out the fact that Arkansas has beaten LSU like 5 times in the past 11 seasons. Remember 2014 and 2015? They dominated us.

Do you think the LSU team had a watch party to see Arkansas play in the Finals?

LSU players are not impressed by any team that makes the finals. To a man, they will tell you that.

But, I can assure you they were/are well aware of the "I got it...I got it" ending to the CWS.

LSU has Warren Morris...Arky has Carson "I got it" Shaddy.

Huh? You even quoted me saying "a little bit." How on earth did you decide I was saying "that much better" in any sense whatsoever? I could (reluctantly) understand if you hadn't copied the exact words right above where you started typing, but...

The sad fact is, LSU had a true rival who was in the SEC. That was Tulane. Had they stayed in the SEC and managed to build a decent football team, that would be our rivalry game.

Considering you dropped a ton of posts about Arkansas it seems like one person on here has definitely bought into this "forced" rivalry.

Personally I enjoy the series and the good natured trash talking that goes on during game weeks. Other then a few folks who take it personally... you might say they let a blackcloud settle into their lives... most everyone else seems to enjoy it too.

Why shouldn't they? There isn't that long pent up ill will LSU has for Alabama squatting on top of the SEC or that Arkansas has for the many shenanigans that Texas pulled back in the SWC. The games are usual fun and filled with what the hell just happened moments.

I hate to tell you this, because you seem like you might throw a fit at any moment, but this will likely continue and it will likely continue across all the sports on here.
