State is an ag school at its core, hence the cowbells.
Not sure about the bulldog, but then bulldogs aren’t native Georgia either.
Baton Rouge elected a Republican mayor recently. On the other hand there is the mayor of Nashville, Sanctuary City, USA, who is an embarrassment to the state of Tennessee. Then there is Memphis. People who live in glass houses….
Four of thirteen have been eliminated. Three have zero losses going into the finals, the rest have one loss and are playing in their finals needing 2 wins.
The Big 10 had four teams, none east of Nebraska, two have been eliminated, and two, both California schools, are undefeated going into the finals. Not a single team from traditional Big 10 country even made the tournament.

The ball was already up in the air over and behind the catcher’s head before contact. It’s difficult to tag someone out without the ball.
Tyson needs to stick to subjects he actually knows about. He has tried to
position himself as some sort of social and cultural commentator and expert on all things. If he wants to pontificate about astrophysics, fine. As to any other subject, I don’t really care what he thinks. He has no particular expertise in other subjects, and sometimes no common sense.
Dunne understands economics pretty well, I’d say based on her deals.
LSU has hired multiple coaches who were successful with no ties to the Southeast, including some guy named Saban. It’s not where the coach is from that matters, but whether the guy is a good coach.
1958 or so. The 1990s were a bad period, but certainly don’t define LSU, except for people who have no knowledge of football before then.
Right, LSU has a national championship from 1958, and multiple SEC championships before 2000 and multiple top 10 rankings in the final polls. Why would we think football only started in the 2000s?

re: So, who is LSU's rival now?

Historically speaking, Tulane and Ole Miss.
Tulane because it was an in state rivalry.
In the late 1950s and through the early 1970’s Ole Miss was the biggest rivalry game of the year for LSU. The game lost much of its rivalry status after the mid-70s.

Kid’s a competitor.


Real competitors keep their heads. They play smart, maintain composure, even while playing with passion. Poor sportsmanship and poor judgment shouldn’t be mistaken for being a competitor.
If Iran was standing by the people of Lebanon they would not have supported Hezbollah, leading to chaos and death of Lebanese who had no conflict with Israel for many years.
Mississippi State and Auburn. State, because LSU has played State more than anyone else, 117 games. Auburn because it has been a good rivalry since the game became an annual game in 1992, and the series goes back to 1901 overall.
Timing matters. Joe’s fight was deliberate to establish his credibility as the leader because he was the new kid on the team. It was before the season began, not before a bowl game.
It’s odd that a fan of a team that just was admitted to the league, and hasn’t played the first game in the conference, would start talking about kicking other charter members out. The SEC isn’t kicking any charter member out, nor any of the newbies.
You can add Eudora Welty, Willie Morris, Robert Penn Warren, and a host of other writers, as well as too many music super stars to name in every genre of music, both American and classical. The first human lung transplant. The second modern civil code in the world and the first drafted in English.
And if we go back a way, the Declaration of Independence was primarily written by a Southerner, a major drafter of the Constitution was a Southerner, the commander in chief of the Revolutionary Army and first President was a Southerner.
