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.

there is a lot of interaction between the 2 fan bases in the oilfield.

and as another mentioned, we used to play them every year back in 80s and 90s.


LSU played A&M annually during the 70’s also. They played every year from 1960 through 1975. They played other series before that. They have been playing somewhat regularly since 1899, altogether, 60 games.
“Fun fact: One of LSU's nicknames was Ole Lou.”
True, but not many today know about Old Lou.
The university administration at Ole Miss has made an effort to rebrand as the University of Mississippi in all areas but athletics, particularly for academics. But no one in the region refers to it as “University of Mississippi” except in official communications. The med school, however, is almost never called Ole Miss Med School. In Mississippi it’s “UMC.”
Money for research has zero to do with NIL. Research funds come from grants from the federal government, private companies, and foundations. None of that money is available for NIL.
