I hear you say it, but I know you don't mean it. It's fine.

With A&M's more recent success in the major sports, along with the rise in track, golf tennis volleyball softball, this is poised to be one of the top across-the-board rivalries for quite a while.

I also love the cross-border rivalries, althiugh i think LSU/A&M tops OU/Texas which is more of a football-only thing.

It's nice to have the LSU thing back regular- a lot of peoole dont understand how old this connection really is.

And last i should memtion Arkansas- that is still a great cross-border rivalry for both A&m and Texas.

I'll say this, I do have a "Go to Hell Ole Miss" pin somewhere, that I got in the early 80's.

I also have a "Tuck Fulane" pin and a "Piss on Nebraska" pin, same era.

In state rivals are little brothers like what Auburn is to bama and the Aggies to Texas. Out of state rivalries tend to be border states that have much more equal programs. Thats what Tennessee is to Bama


What in the 1998 is this bullshite?

The RRSO and TSIO are identical in everything imo.

This intro has always been my favorite and sums up TSIO. Lost this game cause fat Freddie Kitchens kept throwing picks in the second half when Bamas defense was playing very well against Manning. My SR of high school. Was very frustrating, but the into is spot on.

"Along the banks of the Tennessee River, the Crimson Tide has rolled into Knoxville". How even the intros back in the day were glorious and got you pumped compared to....now.

Umm, Tech is as big of a rivalry as the Gators. This is idiotic.

Is ATM / LSU a rivalry for all sports?

All I can say is I really like beating them in more than just football

And the first Aggie jokes I ever read online were on a LSU site back in the 90s.

Arkansas-OkState have a longer history in football and baseball than Arky-Mizzou

Mizzou should be rivals with Illinois, winner claims the glory of East St Louis

All I know is that Texas and Oklahoma is pretty big in all sports as well.

Texas sold out their arena for OU WOMEN'S basketball. You guys sell out men's basketball every year that OU is in town. And softball is crazy on both sides.

OU doesn't sell out for Texas for men's basketball... but would if we were any good. Best crowds for baseball for anybody but OSU when Texas comes to Norman.

I won't argue that LSU/A&M might be a bigger deal in non football sports... but Oklahoma and Texas is not "just" football.

Eh, Texas and OU is pretty damn close to being 50/50 in Dallas. Yeah, they got the overpass trash talk, but other than that, I wouldn’t say it’s outrageously pro Texas…now if the game was held in Houston, different story..


Get back to me when the Texas media calls it the "OU-Texas" game as opposed to "Texas-OU". LOL. I say this because a place that was truly neutral would follow the journalistic standard where you list the home team last. But it is always "Texas-OU"...In print media, on TV-Radio...everywhere.

Even on the street with regular people... It's always "Texas-OU". Because they are in Texas and Texas takes preference.

In Oklahoma, it is OU-Texas in the same way.

There is a huge OU presence in DFW, but DFW still has that hard core old school Texas loyalty underneath it all... and the the people who aren't Longhorns down there probably split. Some of them hate Texas more. Some hate OU more.

As evidenced by them referencing OU in their fight song, having special lighting for the tower when they beat them in football (and that is the only regular season game in any sport that gets it), a thread about them on their main discussion site that is still on the front page and now has 93,000 replies, and the scads of posts on this site about them.

Oh, wait…

I do not think Georgia nor Florida consider each other the main rival...the frick are you talking about

Florida fans would prob have FSU and Miami as 1 and 2

Georgia fans would prob have Auburn and Georgia Tech above UF.
