It's totally one-sided football. How in the world did Bama win 10 of the last 11 between these two schools?

Yikes. If that's the case, why did we hire him?
As long as McClendon enters into the discussion, include his entire career as LSU coach, not just a part of it.

Yea "hate" is more appropriate. "Resent" implies a sense of grudging respect; our relationship with Alabama is like that. There's no respect in hatred-- it's just loathing.
re: In the last 60 yrs how many times would you guess LSU has finished with less than 3 losses
Posted by tarzana on 12/6/25 at 1:08 pm to olgoi khorkhoi
That's pretty incredible. It's hard to believe McClendon only had 2 seasons with less than 3 losses:
1962 - 1 loss
1964 - 2 losses
1969 - 1 loss
1972 - 2 losses
That's four such seasons.
1962 - 1 loss
1964 - 2 losses
1969 - 1 loss
1972 - 2 losses
That's four such seasons.

The 1964 LSU 11-10 win over Ole Miss is extremely underrated and never included as one of the great moments in LSU football, and I don't know why. It was especially satisfying after the 3-37 shellacking from the year before.

Ole Miss & Tulane are our traditional rivals. A&M is somewhat of a regional rivalry, and Arkansas is a contrived rivalry with its own trophy.

Which Weeks? Whit, West or Zack? We need all three of them next year

They were nearly all Louisiana baws, with a handful from East Texas
That LSU - Ole Miss game was a big deal in 1970. LSU was 8-2, Ole Miss 7-2. Oranges literally fell from the sky that night!
LSU's win made them SEC champions. It was believed that if LSU could upset Nebraska in the Orange that it would pave the way to an LSU NC, as there were losses by elite teams on New Year's Day 1971-- Texas lost to Notre Dame 24-11 and Ohio State fell to Stanford.
Well LSU played a solid game vs the Huskers that night, and actually led 12-10 in the fourth! But Nebraska's running attack, the first witnessed that season against the Tigers, was too much to overcome-- Joe Orduna scored two rushing TDs-- only the second and third TDs on the ground against LSU that year.

Shocking, I say shocking... did Baker think this decision through, or is he jes reacting on the power of persuasion.
Blake may regret this when Tulane wins the championship this year! (JK, Tulane's a good team, but it remains to be seen how they'll hold up to the "elite fleet" of college football).

Probably. You're talkin bout an LSU team that went down to the wire with WESTERN KENTUCKY! Let that sink in
Maybe if Nuss was healthy and still slinging it I could visualize LSU winning v Tulane, but not the current state of the team.

Texas Tech will be favored. And it will be essentially a home game for them.
If the Tigers somehow prevail on Sunday it could be the start of something big! SMU next week is no slouch, but we got em in New Orleans

Yea Sulphur was the designated home team for both the 1965 and 1968 games.

Oh, man. I blocked that game out of my memory. December 17, 1965. Almost 60 years ago. Rainy, cold night--I was there in State Fair Stadium. Woodlawn's breakout season-- we finally beat Byrd, the Darth Vader of Shreveport football, that year, and beat 'em to a pulp! 20-0 in the first quarter! Bradshaw was my neighbor, just one block over. We all admired him for his football skill, but he wasn't intellectually inclined, to put it politely.

Not all of 'em. I remember way back in 1987, we had our best season in 25 years and played a good South Carolina team in the Gator. I would be surprised if there were more than 10% LSU at the game-- it was like a SC home game.
Also the Reliaquest just two years ago -- Tigers were few and far between.

We already got an OOC instate game with McNeese. Unless Tulane is the still-undetermined opponent, I don't want another instate school.
