Bama, UF, and Arky don't hate LSU, that's not even close to a rivalry. Especially since UF has UGA/FSU/UT and Bama has AU.

This is the first time both teams have been atop their divisions in 20 years. Both teams were wandering through the wilderness.


How many times has Florida played Bama in the SECCG?

Wilderness? Really? I guess you would know better than anyone which teams are in the wilderness. Let us know when you make it out.

Yeah, I know which teams we've been fighting in the standings for the last 10 years.

Nick Saban came in and saved your arse, and Bama fans act like they've been on top of college football since the Bear was coach.

I know Ole Miss is mediocre every year, but I don't pretend that we're not.

Better than the Egg Bowl.

Asking because I seriously don't know: Does the game always sell out?

Honestly, if there's any kind of event, and nobody outside the state of Mississippi gives a damn about it, it isn't a big deal. The Egg Bowl, as a rivalry, is only as good as its two combatants. It has involved two winning teams six times since I've been born (1980)--that's a dud of a rivalry.

Yeah, for one team. The other team was trying to become bowl eligible.

Real rivalries usually have something big at stake for both teams.

Remember how six of seven SECW representatives came out of the LSU/Arkansas game? That kind of thing.

If you're in the SEC, and you play your biggest rival on JPSports, it's a shitty rivalry that nobody gives a crap about.

so saints/falcons isn't a rivalry even though neither team has historically had a lot of success?

You're pretending that you have a rivalry that matters to anybody.

Sure. That argument can be made, but you posted three LSU rivalries that aren't real rivalries. The Arkansas game is a fabricated rivalry that came to be when the SEC added SC and Arkansas. It was created so that Arkansas would have an SEC rival.

LSU and UF are not historical rivals. LSU is Florida's third rival. Again, a rivalry forged from the conference expansion in 1992.

LSU and Bama is the saban bowl. There wasn't a rivalry before Saban and you are their third most hated rival.


So yeah, stop naming fake rivalries and I won't throw the egg bowl at you.

Sure, it's a rivalry, but I could come up with probably 20 that are historically better and, frankly, more interesting to the average NFL fan.

Same with the Egg Bowl. It's an ok rivalry.

Well, LSU has many rivals just like anybody, but no marquee rivalry. Having said that, it has at least three that are more compelling and more valuable than the Egg Bowl.
