It appears LSU finally has found a rival. For years it was Ole Miss, then since Coach Saban they named us although we still think otherwise. Funny. What would be really funny is if the game had to be moved again.
Well Tulane was a rival until they decided to give up on competitive sports. Yes, Ole Miss was/is. Especially during the 50s and 60s. I guess it's still a big game whenever Ole Miss is good but that's just rare since 1970. I do consider LSU one of our rivals, just not a main one. I've never particularly hated them, but it's always been a fun game even before Nick Saban got involved 17 years ago.
But.. I do love this new development between them and Florida. I also think LSU is the pettier party here, as they wanted to ditch the annual Florida game because it wasn't fair they had to play Urban Meyer every year and we got a rudderless Tennessee team, even though there is historical precedence for the game to be played annually. Good on Florida for giving it back to them and now I fully expect LSU to rout them this fall.
