re: Jimbo let it slip SEC is leaning towards 3 permenant rivals.

I didn’t bring it up Tyson Walton

Just relayed facts

Tulane ain’t happening unless game is in Tiger stadium every year. Otherwise it doesn’t make financial sense

Oh, hell no. Just because you are probably too young to realize, don’t make it untrue. Arkansas is our #1 historic rival. Not OU, certainly not A&M. The level of hate of those days when Texas and Arkansas were fighting for far greater things than bragging rights created a true rivalry. Something that I would agree has built up with OU, but the absolute hate for OU does not really hit home. And as far as A&M, the games never meant that much because of a historical quirk of both teams not being in a position to claim a national title at the same time when the game was played. That is a HUGE factor in creating real hate. Arkansas, aside from being just unbelievably annoying, actually had the ability to beat Texas when both teams were at the top of the mountain. And those games were epic, win or lose.

This is so inaccurate that you've done a crappy job of cultivating your alter. Eat shite moron.

Ok, thanks for the info.

I don't think I'm alone among LSU fans in caring a lot less about the Thanksgiving games than the meat and potatoes of the schedule. From my perspective that means games against Alabama, Florida, and Auburn more than a holiday playing Arkansas and A&M.

I think it would have been different if my affection were tied to some special game that meant something. The way the history has been just hasn't created any reason for me to want to preserve one of those games on that week.

You can probably empathize. A lot of your fans seem to say the same types of things about the Missouri vs Arkansas games.

First you eliminate all the in state games from the list and see who’s left

Bama- Auburn
Fla- fl st
Ole Miss- state
Tennerseeds- vandy
Aggie- horns
Cats-Cards
Uga-tech
SC- Clemson
OU-State

I think that leaves
LSU
Arkansas
Missouri

Some body has no matchup unless
Bedlam doesn’t happen
Tulane agreed to play every year at LSU
Missouri renews with Kansas

Every time a problem is solved new problems appear
Equitable scheduling is not easy

It’s not like we haven’t played with sugar on the line or a trip to Atlanta. It’s not always about playing the biggest team you can find. You have someone here who will play you. But the problem here is you won’t be paired with all of those teams you mentioned. If you think we put you in the same category as playing Alabama, or even someone like Texas due to history with them you are kidding yourself. It’s about history and keeping something nice going. We wanna play eachother no? Would you not Want your last game to be an annual matchup rather than a rotating one not knowing who it will be? There is a big difference between our teams that have played eachother 70 times or so. Than teams who we haven’t played more than 10 times. We got our name after beating y’all in a game in the early 1900s for Christ’s sake. Things will change, teams will rise and fall, series will heat up and cool off from time to time. Get off the high horse.

The problem most LSU fans have is that Frank Broyles told the sec office that the only way Arkansas would join the conference is if the game with LSU was the last regular season game for both teams. Another thing was the Black Friday games got old and were becoming poorly attended

State gets Texas A&M, Ole Miss and Kentucky. I will take that and rejoice. We own Texas A&M and lead Kentucky all-time. State are close. You never know who is going to win the egg bowl.

Instead of just showing this board your arse, how about offering a counter argument?

As cool as its been to have LSU as our rival game, I miss playing on thanksgiving, LSU refused to play that day bc they didn’t want to do thanksgivings in BR and CS, for the horns and us, it was kind of like tradition doing thanksgiving in CS or Austin, I remember my roommates mom would clean our apartment and make us a Turkey before the game, it’s almost like a parents weekend for students
