Every year there is one special game you look forward to. Not because of tradition or respect for the other team, but simply because you need a feel good game where players like JORDAN JEFFERSON can have potent offensive performances. These games are important for the morale of a program, and also to build stats against inferior competition. It feels good having that one lock down win every year against “SEC Competition”.

Here’s to you, Texas A&M

I remember when I was living in SC the people had a saying, "Thank God for Mississippi!" because were it not for Mississippi, SC would be last in many education rankings.

On the Rant, Gumps have a similar saying about LSU.

Sorry that, each year, your morale needs boosting.
But great topic.
I’ll have to write this one down.

Well yeah, duh. We’ve gone from a great program to a inconsistently good one in the past 10 years but we still beat up on A&M and that part is enjoyable at least.

MSST won 37-7. LSUs largest lost this season. They'd love to play LSU again!

No, I don't think they would. We would beat Troy by 20, and State by one or two scores. We are healthy now and our true freshmen on the oline aren't really freshmen anymore.
