Nah. The day after we get 3 in a row on them they will leave the SEC and join the XII.

Ok, I'll go over this again. LSU stopped playing A&M due to the financial reality of playing the 8 game SEC conference schedule.
Think this was the article.
quote:
That move sparked some friction between the schools, which contributed to them not renewing the series. With the SEC going to a divisional format and eight conference games in 1992, then-LSU Athletic Director Joe Dean said he couldn't afford to give up one of three non-conference home games every year.
"You've almost got to have seven home games to pay the bills," Dean said. "That's all it was. Some of the A&M people felt because we were losing to them we didn't want to play anymore.
Of course, A&M wanted to keep playing. They were on a winning streak and it was one of the games they would sell out.
quote:
Crow had a different point of view.
"I said, 'Get out of another (game)' because this game means too much for us,'" Crow said. "We would sell the stadium out for LSU. Them and Texas were only ones we did that."
And just in case some idiots want to bring up LSU owing money (cause A&M loves talking about money):
quote:
LSU eventually refused to play the final two games and the schools settled the matter for $100,000.
BTW, IIRC LSU helped get A&M the game against USL; it's not our fault you lost the game and got knocked out the Top 25.
