As I remember, LSU and Georgia had a stormy relationship going back to the '30s. A large post-game fight in Athens resulted in several members of the LSU cadet corps being left in hospitals.

I personally remember the 1952 and 1953 Georgia games, and although LSU won the 1953 game played in Athens, it was a tough, bloody win. Remember, in those days there were no face masks, and college football was in many respects legalized fist fighting. I guess that after 1953, it was decided not to continue the series.
