LSU/Florida is exciting and usually has a lot at steak but still has not materialized into a real rivalry.

I, for one, like playing Florida every year. It's one of my favorite games on the yearly schedule. I also don't give two shits about who Bama plays. It's a tradition for them so let them enjoy hating each other. I have no problems with it, and most of the LSU fans I know share this opinion.

Don't understand the eye roll. Again, I can't speak for every LSU fan but I'd rather beat, Bama, Auburn, Ole Miss and hell even A&M than Florida. A rivalry needs hate and it just isn't there between LSU and Florida. To be clear, I have never doubted that Bama and UT are rivals nor AU/UGA. And don't care if for the sake of tradition an exception is made for those schools to play each other every year. Wouldn't want to break that up any more than I'd want to stop Ohio State and Michigan. But can we please let everyone else out of this? There are only two teams I've never seen LSU play in person and surprise surprise they are from the East.

I'm an LSU and I don't care that Bama has a rivalry with Tenn!!

But I think you're more upset that your first cousin left you at the alter and moved in with your other first cousin who ran off to Tenn when the moonshine market boomed!

I have no idea what you're talking about. I loathe Florida. So does most every LSU fan I know. Nothing was forced on us, LSU and Florida were playing yearly for over two decades before the SEC even split. We've been playing yearly for almost 50 years. It wasn't manufactured at all, certainly not by the division split and not by UT/UA at all.

...and honestly the multitude of LSU fans who piss and moan about having to play Florida just come off as humongous pussies. I hope we play Florida every fricking year as long as there is an SEC.

We never complained about your "rivalry" with Ole Miss all these years, and God knows they aren't worthy of being your rivals. Why do you care if we hate Tennessee?

1. we don't
2. why do you care that lsu fans allegedly care?

It's the biggest SEC scam in history. Gimme game for Bama. Look at the history. Lopsided.


You mean the team that has the best record head to head in the SEC against Bama is a lopsided rivalry?

Well shite.

I just don't like the idea it takes so long to cycle through the cross division schedule. I think they should be two rotating. If it is such a big deal to AU, Bama, UT, and UGA then make the division more west and east. So AU and Bama to the east and Vandy and Mizzou to the west. If playing them doesn't matter then make it two rotating.

Trust me, we don't. Your little thing is apparently interesting to you, but we absolutely don't give a shite about y'all. It just sucks that your stupid little party has to frick up everything for the rest of us. We're in the same conference with Missouri, but won't play them on the road until sometime in the year 2525, if God is still alive. But hey, you get to beat up on your retarded little brother every year so it's all good.

I still think it is stupid to slow down the cycling through the schedule just for two games that could easily be fixed by a better split of the conference. If it matters that much then split the conference more geographic and swap Bama and Vandy.

Florida needed an absolute miracle to beat UT in the Swamp.

Stop bitching.

Generational thing maybe? You are entitled to your opinion, sir and I've started every post I've mad in this thread with "I can't speak for other LSU fans". Don't mind playing them since we win far more often than not lately. I'm mean who's being a pussy about playing a team we keep beating? We've won 5 of 6. What is there to be scared of? It's not about competition it's about having a diverse schedule. Are you okay with LSU's schedule being dictated by the wants of 4 other schools? I'm just not. Sorry

I love the Alabama-Tennessee rivalry. Of all my other friends that root for Alabama, I'm one of the only ones that hates Auburn more than Tennessee, mostly because I also hate them as an LSU fan, where Tennessee doesn't really matter much to us.

It's a shitty rivalry. NOBODY outside UT and Bama care about it. And that's the problem.


But it's OUR rivalry. It's historic, it's tradition. UT and UA look forward to this game every year. It's part of summer ending, and wearing a jacket to football games as opposed to flip-flops and a t-shirt.

It's as much a part of our lives as Thanksgiving dinner and gearing up the house for trick-or-treaters.

It's TSIO and a tradition of college football. I nearly got a DUI in 1994 for riding around cranking "Back in the Saddle" by Aerosmith. Of course in years following UT had other winning streaks :)
